ANNOUNCEMENTS
GET IN THE GAME
“To clarify confusion about the validity of Student Organization Seating, I want to state clearly that, again this year, Student Organization Seating continues to be authorized reserved seating for those groups who have successfully applied for and been assigned seating in this section. My expectation is that all students will display good citizenship, character, sportsmanship and respect for others in making decisions on where to sit during football games.” Dr. Mark Nelson, vice president of Student Affairs.
Tickets
Reminder: If you have a ticket and do not plan to attend the football game this weekend, please donate or transfer it to another student via MyFootballTicket by 5 p.m. Friday to avoid receiving a penalty.
Seating
All seats within the student sections of both the upper and lower bowls have been sold. The student sections have not been oversold, but everyone is expected to occupy only one seat. If there are 30 numbered seats on a row, 30 individuals should be sitting on the row. A tally is ongoing at the gate, and when capacity is reached in the lower bowl, students are directed to the upper bowl. Everyone who is allowed entrance into the lower bowl should be able to find a seat. Please be respectful of your fellow students and only occupy one seat.
Student Organization Seating, sections S4 – S8, is reserved for student groups receiving a seating allocation up until 45 minutes before kick off or until the lower bowl reaches capacity. At that time, if there is space available with SOS, it is open to all students. Notification of seating availability will be announced via the sound system and flashed on scoreboards/monitors.
Student Affairs Game Day Partners will be sitting in student sections in the lower and upper bowls. You may identify these UA staff members by their khaki Game Day Partner shirt and UA credentials. Call on these staff if you need assistance. Remember that failure to comply with Game Day Partner requests may be considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
Thank you for your cooperation in making home football games an enjoyable experience for all fans.
