Link It's not listed below but another rule in the past has been vehicles parked on the baseball stadium side of the parking deck must park front forward & not back in. I will ask tomorrow if that is still the case & report back here.

I understand you are trying to be helpful.......but just curious .... do they hand those out at the game with ticket purchases?  or somewhere on campus when people drive in so they understand the parking limitations......otherwise, how are average fans supposed to know about all of this? 

Also, I guess most of that applies to about any other sport being played on campus....just seems to me that the lawyers got carried away with the instructions......but that's just me. 

Still though.....I miss the part about " War Eagle and enjoy the game"...which could be added up the "role model" comment.

No they are not handed out with ticket purchases. 90% of the fan guide has been in place for years and many of the rules apply to all sports. Many fans who have been on campus before to attend a sport should be familiar with most of the fan guide. Honestly the only thing new in there is The Platform area in Center for the students but most of those rules are carry overs from other areas too.

And " War Eagle and enjoy the game" should be taken care of by us security personnel greeting you at the game.

@AU64 There is a "printer friendly format" link that has been added to the bottom of the OP. Just click on and it should pull the print preview section on your computer right up. You can print it and bring it with you if need be.

Tell us the important stuff - like are the peanuts fresh. Or, are we consuming last years left over supply until they are gone?

I have no clue. I don't deal with concessions.
