ADDITONAL INFORMATION:

ON-FIELD ACCESS/ENTRY
Explanation: The playing surface at Bragg Stadium is not to be entered onto before, during or after games by any patrons who have not obtained permission to do so. In addition, all gates that lead down to the field from the stands will be locked during games. No field access is granted to any individual that does not have an established function and is credentialed as determined by the FAMU Department of Athletics.  Violators are subject to arrest and ejection from the stadium.

NO DRONE POLICY
Explanation: We coordinate with the FAA and the Tallahassee International Airport tower when we occupy the airspace above Bragg Memorial Stadium. With our proximity less than five (5) miles from the airport, it is crucial to maintain consistency in our airspace as routes may take planes within our airspace above Bragg Stadium. In addition, falling drones and drones with harmful intentions have become an issue of concern for law enforcement. TPD will be authorized to use their techniques of disabling drones in the airspace above Bragg Stadium, which may include the total destruction of drones in the Bragg Memorial Stadium footprint. Anyone wishing to request permission to fly over Bragg Stadium will need to request permission and receive it in writing from FAMU Athletics.
