GATOR fan<br />

cod e of<br />

conduct<br />

<strong>Gator</strong> fans<br />

are widely known for their<br />

passion<br />

team support<br />

hospitality<br />

and<br />

sportsmanship<br />

our image is shaped<br />

not only by our<br />

student-athletes, coaches, students, and faculty<br />

but by our fans as well.<br />

our goal is to create a<br />

championship experience<br />

with integrity<br />

for our teams and fans alike while maintaining a<br />

safe and respectful<br />

atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.<br />

Prohibited Behavior<br />

• Threatening or inconsiderate behavior such as<br />

profane and abusive language, use of tobacco,<br />

fighting, and drunkenness will not be tolerated and<br />

can result in ejection, arrest, and/or loss of season<br />

ticket privileges.<br />

• Standing on seats/bleachers, and throwing of<br />

any objects in the stands or onto the field, is also<br />

prohibited. Should you observe any of this disruptive<br />

behavior, please notify your nearest law enforcement<br />

officer.<br />

• NCAA policy prevents fans from entering the field<br />

of play unless they are properly credentialed or<br />

accompanied by an authorized staff member.<br />

Violators are subject to arrest.<br />

Enforcement<br />

Individuals found violating any policies can be<br />

removed from the stadium. If you see something, say<br />

something.<br />

Non-students, while not affected by the Student<br />

Conduct Code, are subject to arrest and prosecution<br />

under applicable laws and state statutes.<br />

Offenders’ names will be forwarded to the UAA by<br />

the law enforcement representative reporting the<br />

citation. The offender may be contacted by the UAA<br />

and issued a warning that a future violation could<br />

result in loss of ticket privileges. Season ticket holders<br />

are responsible for the behavior of anyone using their<br />

tickets and would be subject to this policy if the<br />

person using their ticket violates the Code of Conduct.<br />

Students involved in prohibitive or disruptive behavior<br />

will also be subject to disciplinary action through the<br />

Dean of Students Office and University of Florida’s<br />

Code of Student Conduct. Students enjoy the rights<br />

and privileges that they gain as a member of the<br />

university community and are subject to the<br />

responsibilities which accompany that membership.<br />

The University Athletic Association reserves the right<br />

to remove the ticket holder from the premises if in<br />

the sole opinion of the security personnel his or her<br />

conduct endangers or disrupts the players, coaches,<br />

officials or fans. The UAA thanks you for your support.

up one space. The UAA is not responsible for any lost or stolen<br />

items.<br />

Two and a half hours prior to kickoff, no traffic is permitted on Gale<br />

Lemerand Drive from University Avenue to <strong>Stadium</strong> Road.<br />

Park & Ride (shuttles)<br />

RTS <strong>Gator</strong> Aider/Regional Transit System provides local park & ride<br />

service from the following locations:<br />

• The Oaks Mall south parking lot (behind Macy’s)<br />

• The Hilton Hotel & Conference Center<br />

• Haile Plantation Village Center<br />

• Tioga Town Center<br />

• SW Downtown Parking Garage<br />

The service costs $10 per game or $50 for the 2014 season. Service<br />

begins three hours before the game, and the last bus departs 10<br />

minutes prior to kickoff. Return buses run at the start of the 4th<br />

quarter and throughout the first hour after the game ends. All<br />

locations and busses are ADA accessible. Contact RTS at<br />

(352) 334-2600 TDD/TTY 711 or www.go-rts.com for more<br />

information. This is a special service. <strong>Gator</strong>1 ID cards are not valid.<br />

Public Parking<br />

Public parking lots are limited around the <strong>Stadium</strong>. All non-reserved<br />

lots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Parking on the<br />

grass and sidewalks is NOT permitted. Violators are at risk of being<br />

towed.<br />

RV Parking<br />

For non-<strong>Gator</strong> <strong>Boosters</strong> RV parking questions, please call UF Parking<br />

and Transportation at 352-392-8048 TDD/TTY 711. All RVs must use<br />

an exhaust extension pipe to project all fumes upward and away<br />

from other parking lot users.<br />

Disabled Parking<br />

Reserved disabled parking passes are distributed prior to the season<br />

to qualified season ticket holders, and are given based on season<br />

ticket longevity. Passes are for one of three areas: the O’Connell<br />

Center Lot, Murphree Hall area, and adjacent to the UF Academic<br />

Advising building.<br />

Fans who do not qualify for a reserved disabled parking pass are<br />

encouraged to park at Garage IX, on the South side of Archer Rd.<br />

on Gale Lemerand Dr., and utilize the free lift-equipped disabled bus<br />

with their state-issued disabled placard to Gate 18.<br />
