Standing to support the Georgia Tech football team during a home game led to fans being told to leave the stadium. The Yellow Jackets suffered a 44-17 loss to Louisville, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. The situation drew more attention when a video of two fans being ejected went viral on social media.
The video shows stadium security escorting the fans out, which generated enough buzz for Georgia Tech to issue a public apology two days later. In the second quarter at Bobby Dodd Stadium, Yellow Jackets linebacker Braylon Outlaw tackled Louisville Cardinals wide receiver TreyShun Hurry, highlighting the action on the field.

A Texas fan was banned after a separate incident involving Florida players following a game. Georgia Tech’s statement acknowledged the situation and noted that they began gathering information immediately. They emphasized the importance of fan experience and apologized for the negative experience caused by improper application of in-stadium processes.
The video was shared on X, filmed during Saturday’s game against Louisville. The filmer asked an officer if the fans were ejected for standing. The officer confirmed this, stating they had been asked to sit down.
The fans in question were reportedly university alumni. Surprisingly, they were seated on the last row of their section, indicating no one was behind them to have their view blocked. Georgia Tech’s record of 2-7, ranking low in the ACC standings, makes the incident a poor reflection on the fan experience in challenging times.
