The University of Alabama is committed to creating a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all gameday participants. Spectators are an important part of the contest and help create an environment that fosters healthy competition. However, attending a college sporting event is a privilege and not a right. All attendees at University athletic events are expected to conduct themselves with class, honesty, dignity, integrity, and good sportsmanship, and shall, among other things, exhibit respect and courtesy towards all other attendees, which includes student-athletes, coaches, and game officials.

In this spirit of conforming to accepted standards of good sportsmanship, attendees at University athletic events are expected to adhere to the following:

Avoid behavior that is unruly, disruptive, threatening, or illegal in nature or conduct that results in damage to the venue or other personal property.

Avoid verbal or physical harassment of game officials, student-athletes, coaches, or other spectators.
