Robert Morris University – Joe Walton Stadium Rules 

General Stadium Information 

Robert Morris University athletic events provide an avenue for the university to meet its core values of excellence, community, and learning. Many university events, including those sponsored by the Athletic Department, permit the admission of only those individuals with appropriate credentials such as tickets, passes, or specific identification cards. We are also cognizant that some of these events, such as football, involve the social and festive atmosphere associated with tailgating. Tailgating is considered a small gathering of patrons participating in a picnic atmosphere that is served from the tailgate or trunk of a vehicle prior to a football game or special designated event. To enable the University to protect the rights and the safety of those attending, the following policies and procedures will apply to all home football games.
