BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY SPORTSMANSHIP POLICY

The Bison Good Sports program is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all

Bison sporting events. "Bucknell aims to set a standard for excellence in academics and athletics, a standard reflected in such

successes as our outstanding graduation rate among student-athletes and our 17 Patriot League Presidents' Cup championships."

While the extremes of unwanted behavior and its impact on home and visiting fans are not commonplace at Bison athletics events,

Bucknell and our visiting teams ask for our fans' help in keeping their support of our teams positive and cheer with positive

encouragement, rather than supporting an atmosphere of intimidation that attempts to degrade opposing players and teams. We

hope that our fans will continue to join our players, coaches and staff in helping all spectators find creative and ingenious ways to

positively support our Bucknell student-athletes." Bucknell athletics will not tolerate profanity or vulgar language and doing so are

grounds for immediate removal from the playing venue. No spectator will disrespectfully address the game officials or umpires. The

sportsmanship policy is strictly enforced; event management staff has responsibility to enforce the sportsmanship policy and may

choose to eject fans that do not comply. We ask for your help in developing a more positive atmosphere. It is the responsibility of each

participant to do everything possible to ensure that the game atmosphere is friendly and good-natured.

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY LIGHTNING DETECTION SYSTEM THORGUARDIAN is an unattended lightning prediction system that provides both an audio and visual warning that can be seen and heard from all playing fields in the complex. The horns and visual strobe light unit is located on the roof of the maintenance building adjacent to Graham Field. When conditions are prevalent for a Red-Alert hazard, the horn will sound continuously for 15 seconds. The strobe light will turn on and stay on. We require teams to clear the field and encourage fans to seek shelter at this time. Upon returning to a safe environment, the All Clear signal will sound: three five second horns with seconds between. At this time the strobe light will turn off.
