Might this further hurt attendance?

No, it’s not exactly the same policy...USF’s is more restrictive.  

What’s more restrictive than you can’t smoke anywhere, at any time for any reason?

On campus they make you sit next to Ned if they catch you with a cigarette on your person, in your car, etc ....

That's pretty draconian.

Read both policies.

It’s going to say in the policies why nas thinks one is much harsher than the other? Wouldn’t it just perhaps be easier for you to tell me what exactly you think is much harsher? Is it that you can’t smoke outside the stadium too? If neither one lets you smoke anywhere on campus and doesn’t let you exit to smoke and then return then from the game and stadium perspective it’s the exact same policy.

I get what ray jay is trying to do here, but I think it is way overboard and I bet they will partially reverse this policy.   For the record, I am an ex-smoker.   I think the ban goes to far.   They should at least create 1 roped off area outside even if it’s in the rain where folks can go and do their habit. Even if it’s totally inconvenient for them to get there and it takes a 15 minute walk from their seat, the die hard smokers will make the trip.  The result of this total ban policy will just lead to people sneaking off in the corner to hide and smoke a cigarette in secret like it was weed or something.   This will hurt the Bucs attendance, too.   When they really start kicking out long time loyal season ticket holders for burning a cigarette,  the shizz will hit the fan.   They will only lose a few more customers.   Bulls and Bucs alike.

↑ ↓   If you think for a second that students AND faculty are not smoking on campus I have some prime realestate for sale.   ↑ ↓

If you are talking about inside the stadium, I have no issue. While alcohol numbs me it does seem to aid in helping some people's behavior to get out of control.   If you are talking about the parking area, I have a major issue.  Without some fine quality Trappist beer and a 750 of gin before each game, I might not have been able to endure the Skippy Poo doldrums.

You drink a fifth of gin before every game?
