USF Tickets Floor sections require fans to not wear opposing teams colors.

[HCCForever]

I was on Stubhub looking for tickets for Saturday's game and noticed this blurb.

Tickets Floor sections require fans to not wear opposing teams colors. Failure to follow this rule will result in relocation.


I have never seen this type of message before while buying tickets. Is this common practice?

 

[Ts5034]

How can that ever be enforced? Like, Is that even legal?

 

[storrsroars]

I guess they don't play anyone else with green & gold unis?

Dress code bro

Yeah what happens when Tulane comes to town lol will they be forced to to an impromptu away-game white out?

If the stadium is privately owned, then dress codes can be enforced. This happens at high end bars and clubs. However, it could be to prevent annoying fans from harassing players and wont be enforced under most circumstances.

Everyone attending wear the "Unlike" tee.

 

[imno1]

So if I wear a plain white tee with jeans are they moving me? Also heard if you cheer for opposing team you will tossed Big Ern style

 

[NJHusky]

USF is a state school...there could be a real first amm issue here

 

[Dabutlerdidit]

ha, too late...we're gearing up!

 

[HCCForever]

We are gearing up as well but we do not have floor seats but 108 not too bad

sounds like snowflakes are running that show.

I get their goal, but it's a weird way to get there. Pretty easy to get around this one. Every school sells stuff not in their colors. Or make your own shirts in fluorescent yellow that say "USF Sucks! Go Huskies!" That's more obnoxious than just having some opposing fans up front in their team colors.

It's legal for schools to set restrictions on attire if they have a reasonable belief that the clothes could negatively affect the environment. The court case doesn't directly apply to sports venues, but I would argue the principle applies.

 

[Waquoit]

I'm sure both fans will be fine.

Gotta be snowing in Tampa

Not the 1st time they restricted away jerseys. They’ve even restricted ticket sales to only Florida zip codes during
NHL playoffs

Tampa Bay bans opposing team jerseys at Stanley Cup playoffs (again)

Ugh.

I like it - used to get annoyed when after depending big bucks for my season tickets I'd be behind or next to a fan from the opposing team all decked out. Actually was upset with the season ticket holder who sold that seat

That’s weak and so is this policy. Now, if they’re being obnoxious and yelling in your face and bumping into you, sure. If all they’re doing is cheering for the other team’s good plays and wearing their gear, that’s life. Not everyone likes your team.

Depending on the team they could be quite obnoxious - syracuse, providence, georgetown and st John's standout.

That reminds me of one the funniest/shocking things I ever saw at a game. My brother had great season tickets to the Whalers back in the 90s. We used to see this one guy there every game cheering for the Whalers. He looked pretty mild-mannered. But when Philly was in town, he wore his Flyer sweater. Something happened during the game and words were exchanged with a Whaler fan (not me) and this mild mannered guy jumped up and tried to strangle the other guy. He then came to his senses and left the arena. I sure miss those Hockey Nights in Hartford..

Rutgers used to refuse to sell tickets to anyone with a Connecticut address or phone number

Do you really expect to defile such hallowed b-ball grounds such as "The Yeungling Center"? Such a classy representative of the libation sector. How rude - Stephanie tanner
