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.

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 />
