One Metro bus driver was in a 3 hour surgery to save his right eye. 17 people were arrested after the game and charged with crimes; six police cars were destroyed, and 16 fires were started. yet richard Conti, city manager of college park, said "I think it was fine" because damages were less than the year before. "It's tradition, said Charmaine Young, 21, we have the craziest fans ever."
