As always, the New England Patriots remain committed to creating a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for fans of all ages, both in the stadium and in the parking lots. This season, the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium officials are proud to support a league-wide initiative by the National Football League to promote fan code of conduct initiatives designed to enhance the experiences for all football fans throughout the NFL.

The Patriots are proud of the progress that has been made at Patriots games since from the early 1990s and hope that publicizing the expectations of fans through this fan code of conduct initiative will only help to further encourage continued improvements. We continue to require all Patriots patrons to take responsibility for their conduct, to enjoy their day of game experience and to make sure that they are not doing anything that would negatively impact the enjoyment of others. Fans attending games are required to refrain from the following behaviors:

* Behavior that is unruly, disruptive, or illegal in nature.

* Intoxication or other signs of alcohol impairment that results in irresponsible behavior.

* Foul or abusive language or obscene gestures.

* Interference with the progress of the game (including throwing objects onto the field).

* Failing to follow instructions of stadium personnel or law enforcement.

* Verbal or physical harassment of any of our guests, including other fans, players, coaches or staff.

* Smoking in areas other than those designated as "smoking areas."

* Behaving in a manner to any of the above code violations in any areas outside Gillette Stadium that are either owned or operated by Gillette Stadium or their affiliates.

* Violating the New England Patriots ticketing policies.

All event patrons are responsible for their conduct as well as the conduct of their guests or any other people they allow to use their seats. Stadium staff will promptly intervene to support an environment where event patrons, their guests, and other fans can enjoy the event free from inappropriate behavior. Event patrons and guests who violate these provisions will be subject to ejection without refund and potential loss of ticket privileges for future games. The New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium and the NFL thank you for adhering to our fan code of conduct.

I got your point...all teams have fan conduct rules, I knew that already. Some of our fan base can be easily offended and while other stadium has fan conduct policies, some of them have more exuberant crowds where standing won't get security called on you. Heck in Philly, you can practically get mugged before security is called. That's an extreme example, but my point is our stadium is more prone to tamp down exuberant fans than inconvenience the fair weather 'fans'.

Yeah, look at games on TV of a Panthers' contest 1:00 game versus a say Pats, Bears, Green Bay or Philly game. You notice a difference besides teams? The crowds seem to be more motivated and into them. Are Charlotteans dullards? Could be, but I bet it has something to do with the fact that certain behavior has been frowned upon.

My point is that everybody as pretty much the same fan code of conduct - the primary complaint.

Another point is that I'm not all that certain that we're "more prone" to tamp down certain behavior than anybody else ... the Eagles don't really count.

    • And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. But even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
    • I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.
    • Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
