The vast majority of FSU fans and visitors conduct themselves safely and appropriately on game

day. The increased support and attendance on game days has led to increased safety concerns

and managing those concerns while providing a safe environment is the goal of the Florida State

University Police Department.

The Game day Game plan is provided to assist visitors and fans with important information that

will help ensure a safe and fun environment for everyone who comes to a game.

What types of safety concerns do these regulations address?

Parking on sidewalks is a good example. When cars are parked on the sidewalk, pedestrians are

pushed into the street and into the path of vehicle traffic. This is especially dangerous after games,

when 85,000 or more fans are leaving the stadium.

This also makes it difficult for emergency vehicles – ambulances, fire trucks – to respond to the

scene if they are needed.

To help provide important information using today’s technology the FSU Police Department has

provided detailed game day information on the department’s APP called SEMINOLE SAFE.

General Parking Overview

FSU will be providing a limited amount of public parking on campus this year for football.

For most games, a limited amount of public parking will be available in the Railroad Ave.

Lot (corner of Railroad Ave. and St. Augustine St.). Parking in this lot will be $10 per

vehicle (cash only). As with all other football parking lots, tailgating will be restricted to

the parking space purchased and spaces will not be sold solely for tailgating. Spirit

Express Shuttles are available at the Tucker Civic Center ($5.00 per rider, roundtrip).

More campus parking locations could be added in the future if space is available. The

availability of campus public parking will be game-by-game and will depend on other

campus special events, university needs, and weather conditions.

General Parking Information

Numerous campus parking venues, mainly west of Woodward Avenue, will be closed for

reserved parking on home football game days. All vehicles MUST be removed from these

lots by 11:59PM on the day before a home game (students, please do not relocate

vehicles to Faculty/Staff parking areas until after 4:30PM on Friday). Vehicles parked after

11:59PM on the day before a home game will be towed at the owner's expense. This

includes all floors of the Woodward Ave., Spirit Way, St. Augustine St., and West

Pensacola St. Garages (including all overnight areas). Motorcycles and scooters must also

be removed from designated Booster parking areas – regardless of whether or not they

are parked in motorcycle/scooter parking spaces. Please view the FSU Football Game

Day Parking Map to assist in locating parking lots impacted by football (restricted

football lots are shown in red). The tow company will be Hobkirk Enterprises Towing &

Recovery, phone number (850) 224-6456.

While some lots and garages are reserved during football games, campus parking is still

available for students, faculty, and staff. All floors of the Call Street and Traditions Way

Parking Garages are available for overnight parking from 4:30 p.m. on Friday through

Sunday. Overnight and commuter parking is also available in numerous parking lots on

the northern and eastern sides of campus during the same timeframe. Please review the

FSU Football Game Day Parking Map to assist in locating parking lots available to

students, faculty, and staff on football game weekends (open lots are shown in yellow).

All vehicles parked on the IM Fields (Booster Lot 14) must be removed within 3 hours

after the end of the game. Remaining vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense.

FSU encourages fans to ride the Spirit Express Shuttle ($5 round-trip) from the Donald L.

Tucker Civic Center to and from the stadium for easy game day parking. Shuttles will

begin running 2 hours prior to kickoff. Please make plans to arrive early to enjoy the pre-

game festivities.

Disabled Parking Program (DPP)

Florida State University is committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities are not

discriminated against and that they have equal opportunity and access to all the rights and

privileges enjoyed by those who are not disabled. The University complies with all applicable

federal and state laws, regulations, ordinances, orders, and rules.

In addition to complying with applicable laws, FSU has dedicated disabled parking for home

football games. Due to the high demand for parking during FSU football games, these parking

spaces are available through an application process.

Disabled parking spaces for FSU football games are located either adjacent to the stadium or in

the West Pensacola Parking Garage (Booster Lot 9), which is located on the northwest corner of St.

Augustine Street and Walker Street (just south of West Pensacola Street). Individuals provided

access to a disabled parking space or area will be mailed information that includes a game day

parking placard(s) and a parking map with directions to assigned space or area. The placards are

non-transferable and remain the property of Florida State University.

Every attempt will be made to accommodate each request. However, due to the limited allocation

of parking spaces, assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. An individual who

has received a parking placard in a prior year will not automatically receive a parking placard for

subsequent years; an application must be completed each year. Any applicant who applies for

disabled parking but does not receive a space due to limited availability will be placed on a waiting

list in the order that the request was received. At the time a space becomes available, the applicant

will be promptly notified. Those not assigned a disabled parking space in the West Pensacola Street

Parking Garage can take advantage of additional disabled parking at St. Augustine Parking Garage

located on the northeast corner of Copeland Street and St. Augustine Street. Dial-A-Ride transit

services are available at both parking locations.

An individual who receives a parking assignment as a part of their Seminole Boosters

package must choose either their Booster location or the disabled parking location, but not both.

Selecting disability parking will cancel the Boosters parking assignment. Football Ticket

Information:

Don't forget to request seating accommodations, if needed.

Game Day Disabled Parking: If needed, additional disabled parking is available in the St.

Augustine St. Garage. Disabled patrons can go directly to the garage (430 S. Macomb St.,

Tallahassee, FL 32301, on the southwest corner of Macomb St. and Pensacola St.). The cost is

$10.00. Shuttles are available on the west side of the garage to take patrons to/from the game at

no additional cost.

Capital City Pedicabs has been authorized to provide an additional transportation option for

those with disabilities. Only Capital City Pedicab has been authorized to provide this service, and

their pedicabs will be marked with stadium cart access permits. Pedicabs will be available around

the stadium in Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and Champions Way. Capital City Pedicabs operate 4 hours

before kickoff and 1 hour after. This service is free to patrons with disabilities (but tips are

appreciated. To use this service please call or text (850) 567-6255.

The University's traffic management plan is coordinated with local and state law enforcement to

give fans a safe and timely arrival and egress solution.

Law enforcement personnel will be positioned at major intersections and event staff will assist with

parking lots at the conclusion of the game to direct traffic flow off campus. Please keep in mind

that staff may be forced to change directions and routes on a game by game basis because of

unforeseen circumstances such as accidents, traffic and other issues that often arise on game day.

Please note that these actions always have the fans' best interests and safety in mind and are in no

way meant as a hindrance. The goal of The Florida State University and City of Tallahassee staff

and law enforcement is to provide the safest and most efficient routes, both on and off campus.

(d) The use of charcoal at tailgating activities on campus is strongly discouraged.

(e) Tailgating: locations not reserved for booster operations (parking or traffic control) are on a

first come first served basis. Tailgate locations cannot disrupt pedestrian traffic on sidewalks or

violate university rules or state laws for safe operation.

How is alcohol consumption managed on game days?

Legal and responsible consumption of alcohol is allowed on campus on game days other than

in the family-friendly (Taggart's True Seminole Tailgate) in front of Dick Howser Baseball

Stadium Please note the university police works in conjunction with local and state law

enforcement such as the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, Tallahassee Police Department, Alcohol

Beverage and Tobacco and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Underage

alcohol consumption laws are enforced, and violators are subject to arrest.

NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. The Leon County Multi-Agency DUI Strike Force patrols during game

day weekends to strictly enforce Florida’s impaired driving laws. The message is simple – Drive

Sober or Get Pulled Over!

Tents and Tailgating in Seminole Booster Lots

Tailgating is fast becoming a time-honored tradition at Doak Campbell. While we encourage you

to have a good time, please act responsibly. Fans utilizing booster parking lots are permitted only

one parking space per vehicle. We ask you to minimize your tailgating space to permit free

movement of vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Lots will open five hours prior to kick-off. No one is

allowed to setup a tailgating site prior to the five-hour opening.

Tents, tables, tarps, or canopies are not permitted in areas that impede foot or vehicular traffic or

if they extend into an adjacent parking space.

SPECIFIC GUIDELINES

Saving spaces for other motorists is not permitted.

Keep Travel Lanes Open - Vehicles must be given ready access to parking spaces. Tents, tables,

and other tailgating items cannot obstruct travel lanes. Safety of tailgaters and emergency

vehicle access represent our top priorities.

Tailgating Restriction Lines

Boosters are asked to restrict all tailgating activities within the new restriction lines that have been

painted for booster lots 1-6. (See Image)

Bags Must Be Clear

The Florida State University Athletics Department and the FSU Police are announcing a clear

bag policy for all athletic events beginning with the 2016 season.

The clear bag policy will provide a safer environment at home events and should significantly

expedite fan entry into FSU athletic venues including Doak Campbell Stadium.

The policy closely matches those already in place at all NFL stadiums.

Under the policy, each fan is allowed one clear bag (plus clutch or small purse) into FSU home

athletic events that conform to the following restrictions:

• CL

EAR plastic, vinyl or PVC that are no larger than 12” x 6” x 12” (readily available one-

gallon, clear, re-sealable plastic storage bags meet the policy)

• If a logo appears on the bag, it cannot be larger than 4.5” x 6.5”

• Small clutch bags no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”, or approximately the size of a hand, with or

without a strap are allowed.

• Medically necessary items that are too large to fit into a clear bag within allowable

dimensions can be brought in only after clearing a screening process at GATE C.

Policy

Responsible

Division:

Finance and Administration

Approving Official: Kyle Clark

Effective Date: January 1, 2016

Last Revision Date: August 11, 2016

SPECIFIC AUTHORITY

FDC 4/3621

14 CFR SECTION 99.7

FAA Modernization and Reform Act 2012

OBJECTIVE

To provide an official University policy pertaining to use of unmanned aircraft systems on

property owned and managed by Florida State University.

OVERVIEW

The Federal Aviation Administration, and relevant state and federal law, regulates the

operation of unmanned aircraft systems, including drones and model aircraft. Florida

State University establishes this policy to ensure compliance with those legal obligations

for the safety and welfare of its students, employees, and visitors.

A. DEFINITIONS

1. “Unmanned Aircraft System” (UAS), commonly referred to as drones, is defined by

the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as “the unmanned aircraft (UA) and all

of the associated support equipment, control station, data links, telemetry,

Pa g e | 28

one / Personal Aircraft Policy

communications and navigation equipment, etc., necessary to operate the

unmanned aircraft. The UA is the flying portion of the system, flown by a pilot via

a ground control system or autonomously through the use of an on board

computer, communications links and any additional equipment that is necessary

for the UA to operate safely” pursuant to Section 331(9) of the FAA Modernization

and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-95).

2. “Unmanned aircraft” (UA) is defined by the FAA as “an aircraft that is operated

without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft,”

pursuant to Section 331(8) of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012

(Pub. L. 112-95).

3. “Small unmanned aircraft” is defined by the FAA as “an unmanned aircraft

weighing less than 55 lbs.” pursuant to Section 331(6) of the FAA Modernization

and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-95).

4. “Model aircraft” is defined by the FAA as an “unmanned aircraft that is (1) capable

of sustained flight in the atmosphere; (2) flown within the visual line of sight of the

person operating the aircraft; and (3) flown for hobby or recreational purposes”,

pursuant to Section336(c) of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub.

L. 112-95).

5. Hobbyist user: Recreational or hobby use is typically understood as the UAS is

being flown for personal interest and enjoyment and not for business purposes or

compensation or hire.

6. Public/Governmental user: Public entities, which include publically funded

universities, law enforcement, fire departments and other government agencies

which conduct flight operations for a governmental function including public

safety and research.

Drone / Personal Aircraft Policy

Pa g e | 29

7. Commercial or Business user: Any commercial use in connection with a business,

including: Selling photos or videos taken from a UAS, using UAS to provide

contract services, such as industrial equipment or factory inspection, or using UAS

to provide professional services, such as security or telecommunications. Examples

of Commercial users are: Professional real estate or wedding photography,

professional cinema photography for a film or television production or providing

contract services for mapping or land surveys

8. COA- Certificate of Authorization or Waiver. According to the FAA, the COA is an

authorization issued by the Air Traffic Organization to a public operator for a

specific UA activity. After a complete application is submitted, FAA conducts a

comprehensive operational and technical review. If necessary, provisions or

limitations may be imposed as part of the approval to ensure the UA can operate

safely with other airspace users. In most cases, FAA will provide a formal response

within 60 days from the time a completed application is submitted.

9. 333 Exemption – FAA exemption based on Section 333 of the FAA Modernization

and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) which grants the Secretary of

10. Transportation the authority to determine whether an airworthiness certificate is

required for a UAS to operate safely in the National Airspace System.

11. Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulation - new rules for non-hobbyist small

unmanned aircraft (UAS) operations – Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(PDF) – cover a broad spectrum of commercial uses for drones weighing less than

55 pounds including operating Requirements, Pilot Certifications, Airframe (UAS)

Certifications, Private considerations and other relevant requirements.

Drone / Personal Aircraft Policy

Pa g e | 30

12. Small Unmanned Aircraft System Registration – Effective February 19, 2016, Federal

law requires aircraft registration, prior to the first flight, to help ensure safety – for

you, others on the ground, and manned aircraft. UAS pose new security and

privacy challenges and must be traceable in the event of an incident. It will also

help enable the return of your UAS should it be lost. All owners of small UAS

weighing more than 250 grams (0.55 lbs.) and less than 55 lbs. must register using

this new system. A certificate of registration will be available to download and will

be sent to your email address at the time of registration. When operating your

UAS you must be able to present the certificate in either print or electronic format

if asked for proof of registration. Once registered, operators will receive a unique

registration number, not an N-number, and they must mark the registration

number on the UAS by some means that is legible and allows the number to be

readily seen.

13. Reasonable expectation of privacy - Locations where there is an objective

expectation of privacy. Examples include but are not limited to restrooms, locker

rooms, residence halls, and health treatment and medical facilities

B. POLICY

1. All operations of UAS on or above University owned or managed property must

comply with all local, state, and federal laws, including FAA regulations, and best

practices regarding the use of UAS. The operator of the UAS is responsible to

ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations in the operation of the

UAS.

2. Specific authorization to operate a UAS, including small unmanned aircraft and

model aircraft, which is piloted or launched from any University owned or

managed property must be granted by Florida State University’s Assistant Vice

President for Safety and Chief of Police ten (10) business days before such

operation is permitted. UAS operators must provide proof of FAA registration of

Drone / Personal Aircraft Policy

Pa g e | 31

UAS to the University. This request shall include all pertinent information

regarding time, location and participants associated with the requested flight(s).

3. Any University employee or student wishing to operate a UAS as part of their

University employment or as part of an University program must;

a. Commercial: Meet all applicable requirements of Part 107 of the Federal

Aviation Regulation for commercial, non-governmental flights.

b. Public/Governmental: Provide approval from University COA coordinator

that proposed flight or program has been approved and is operating under

the University’s COA.

This shall be in addition to receiving permission from the Assistant Vice President
