CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Due to safety concerns, University of Virginia Athletics is implementing new policies for Hill access at Scott Stadium. The University said the new policies were crafted in conjunction with the Department of Safety and Security in consultation with UVA student groups and fan feedback and have been tailored to maximize fan safety while also providing a positive experience for spectators, student-athletes, coaches and officials. Access to The Hill remains exclusive to season-ticket holders, mini-plan buyers, Virginia Athletics Foundation donors, Cavman’s Crew members, UVA students, and other select groups (on a game-by-game basis).
The refined policies include the following:

* Re-entry to The Hill will only be on a first-come, first-served basis. As a result, the issuance of stickers for the purpose re-entry has been eliminated.
* When capacity is reached as determined by DSS and UVA Athletics, The Hill will reopen as space allows. There will not be a one-in, one-out policy.
* Patrons admitted to The Hill may exit at any time, however re-entry is not guaranteed if maximum capacity is reached.
* In an effort to minimize congestion at each of The Hill’s five access points, queuing lines have been strategically positioned at each of these locations.
