ATLANTA (AP) - A 20-year-old man has been taken to an Atlanta hospital after falling approximately 35 feet from the upper level of the Georgia Dome at Friday night's Tennessee-North Carolina State game.

The Georgia World Congress Center Authority said in a statement Friday night that the man fell on another fan seated in the mezzanine area at about 8:30 p.m.

The fan who was hit while seated also was taken to the Atlanta hospital.

Authority spokeswoman Jennifer LeMaster said late Friday that she did not know the conditions of the injured fans, who she said were transported almost immediately to the hospital.
