TITLE: Resolution Concerning Student Football Seating

AUTHOR: Senators Jay Gemes and Andy Vanlandingham

SPONSOR: Student Life Committee

Approved: February 9, 1993

THE STUDENT SENATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STUDENT BODY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:

WHEREAS, the one hundred year tradition of University of Georgia football is an integral part of the vitality and legacy of the University of Georgia; and

WHEREAS, University of Georgia students should receive prime seating at University of Georgia home football games because the University of Georgia football team represents the University, which was created for the students.

WHEREAS, at the 1992 Southeastern Conference Spring Meeting the athletic directors passed the following policy with regard to the seating location of students at football games:

At Southeastern Conference football games students/bands must be located on the opposite side of the field from the visiting team or if located on the visiting team side must be seated from the 30-yard line toward the goal line so as not to be behind the visiting team bench and at least 25 rows up,

which will go into effect for the 1993 football season; and

WHEREAS, student behavior at Southeastern Conference football games is not a widespread problem but only a problem at a few SEC schools; and
