The Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and Major League Baseball are committed to creating a family-friendly and welcoming environment at the ballpark for all guests. As part of that commitment, we have adopted this written policy addressing fan behavior. The policy includes a Fan Code of Conduct, which is fan-facing and describes how fans are expected to behave.
Fan Code of Conduct
In order to provide a welcoming experience for all, the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and Major League Baseball have implemented a Fan Code of Conduct. Out of respect for fellow guests, players, coaches, and ballpark staff, all guests are prohibited from:
- Trespassing on the playing field at any time;
- Interfering with baseballs that are in play;
- Throwing or tossing objects;
- Using foul, obscene or derogatory language (see below) or gestures;
- Behaving in a manner that is disruptive, unruly, or abusive towards players, coaches or other fans;
- Misusing or overconsuming alcohol, including, underage consumption;
- Accessing areas of the ballpark without a proper ticket, pass, or credential;
- Misusing tickets, passes, or credentials in any way; or
- Bringing prohibited items into the ballpark.
Derogatory language is defined as offensive language concerning a person’s race, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, or national origin, and anyone using such language is subject to automatic ejection from the ballpark.
Disruptive and unruly behavior is defined as any conduct that is a distraction to players or coaches, or is not conducive to a fun, family atmosphere and prevents others from enjoying their experience while attending a game.
Violations Fan Code of Conduct
Guests are encouraged to report violations of the Fan Code of Conduct to the nearest ballpark staff member. This can be done in person, at the nearest Guest Services location, directly with Ballpark Security or by contacting the Cannon Ballers team offices.
Violations of the Fan Code of Conduct will not be tolerated and may lead to ejection from the ballpark, a ban on attending future games, or other consequences. Guests who are found to have used derogatory language will be ejected from the ballpark.
