I once attended a riot at Bobby Dodd Stadium by closesttodome

I was a volunteer for the 96 Olympics and pretty much had complete access to the Olympic Village. For some reason the world premier of the Schwarzenegger movie Eraser was in the stadium during the Olympics in front of all the athletes.

After the mostly forgettable movie, they handed out free T-shirts and that's when the riot ensued. They basically drove a train of golf carts with boxes of T-shirts into the middle of the stadium with the intent to start handing them out. Instead they had a crowd of several thousand Olympic Athletes start tearing boxes open and fighting to make sure they got a T shirt.

It was absolute chaos for about 10 minutes until all the boxes were emptied.
