Fan Code of Conduct

Villanova Athletics is committed to a safe and welcoming environment that encourages and promotes good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting our Augustinian Catholic mission to create an inclusive environment that respects all races, ethnicities, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations and disabilities. Profane, bigoted, demeaning or abusive or other disruptive and intimidating language and actions directed at officials, student-athletes, coaches, team representatives, or spectators will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal from the site of competition.

People attending Villanova sporting events are expected to:

  • Demonstrate civility at all times
  • Not interfere with other guests’ ability to enjoy the game
  • Refrain from using profane, bigoted, demeaning or abusive or other disruptive and intimidating language and/or gestures
  • Not become inebriated or appear to be intoxicated to a diminished capacity
  • Produce a ticket upon request and sit in a seat that matches your ticket
  • Refrain from entering the playing surface and all team areas, especially during the game
  • Not throw objects onto the playing surface or disrupt the game for any reason

Failure to abide by these expectations are grounds for removal from the site of competition. 

Guest services and event security staff have been trained to help ensure that all fans adhere to the Fan Code of Conduct. Those in attendance are encouraged to report any and all behavior that goes against the Fan Code of Conduct to the nearest guest services staff member or event security personnel. Individuals who refuse to adhere to the Fan Code of Conduct will be subject to removal from the site of competition.
