The NLFA Implements Fan Code of Conduct

by NLFA PR

Like many other levels of football ranging from high school to the pros, the sport has seen its fair share of unruly fans. With this being a growing concern, the North Louisiana Football Alliance has decided to implement a fan code of conduct to help promote a positive fan environment at NLFA events.

These measures are designed to build on the many outstanding programs already in place at South Bossier Parks and other NLFA used fields/stadiums to enhance the fan experience.

The in-stadium experience is critically important to the NLFA, our teams, and our fans and it will be a major focus each season. We are committed to improving the fan experience in every way we can — from the time fans arrive in the parking lot, to when they depart the field/stadium. We want everyone to be able to come to our events and enjoy the entire day.

The code of conduct is intended to address behavior that detracts from the gameday experience. Any fan in violation of these provisions will be subject to ejection without refund and loss of ticket privileges for future games.
