Police have arrested a Villa Rica, Ga., man in connection with Sunday’s stabbing outside the Georgia Dome.
Contrary to previous reports, the altercation had nothing to do with the Falcons’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game, said a Dome official.
“Investigators believe at this time that the disagreement started over food at a tailgate,” Dome spokesman Jason Kirksey said in a statement.
