How to Prepare for Game Day | Student Affairs Department

Be respectful and considerate

Remember that you are a buff everywhere. Be considerate and respectful of those around you, whether you are watching the game at Folsom Field, at a local restaurant, or at a friend’s house off campus. Buffs stand side by side and value honor, respect and integrity. Make sure you welcome fans new and old, treat everyone with dignity, and celebrate responsibly.

If you are off campus, be aware of noise levels. Excessive noise at any time of day can result in a traffic ticket – a common citation that can be avoided. You can also be fined if there is rubbish in your garden or around your property.

If you’re planning on hosting a gathering, reduce your chances of getting an expensive ticket by registering your party with Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations. When you register your party, you will receive a 20-minute warning that you must close before the police are dispatched if a complaint has been made against your address.
