Get organized听听
If you鈥檙e attending the game at Folsom Field, here are some things to know:听
Be respectful and considerate听
Remember that you鈥檙e a Buff wherever you are. Whether you鈥檙e watching the game at Folsom Field, a local restaurant or a friend鈥檚 house off campus, be considerate and respectful to those around you. Buffs stand shoulder to shoulder and value honor, respect and integrity. Make sure you鈥檙e welcoming fans, new and old, treating everyone with dignity and celebrating responsibly.听听
If you鈥檙e off campus, be mindful of noise levels. Excessive noise at any time of the day can result in a nuisance ticket鈥攁 common citation that can be avoided. You can also be fined if there is trash in your yard or around your property.听
If you鈥檙e planning on hosting a gathering, lower your chances of receiving an expensive ticket by registering your party with Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations. Registering your party will give you a 20-minute warning to shut things down before police are dispatched if a complaint has been made against your address.听
Look out for yourselves and each other听
We can all do our part to look out for fellow Buffs, both on and off campus.听听
- If you鈥檙e concerned about your safety or someone else's, keep an eye on the situation and don鈥檛 hesitate to call for help. Always call 911 in a drug- or alcohol-related emergency.听听
- Review the Amnesty Policy to learn more about what to do if you need to call for help in an alcohol- or drug-related emergency.听听
- Review more information about how you can be an effective bystander and look out for other members of our community.听听
