The use of foul or abusive language, obscene or threatening gestures, fighting, attempts to enter the field or to cause objects to enter the field during the Game and any other action deemed dangerous, inappropriate or in violation of our guest conduct policy may result in the guest being ejected, arrested, or refused initial admission.

The United States Capitol Police advises that any person who enters the playing field without authorization will be trespassing in violation of federal and District of Columbia law and may be arrested and criminally prosecuted, with citation to 2 U.S.C. § 1966(d).
