Stadium Operators to Fans: Butt Out!

When the University of Louisville unveiled 13,000 new seats at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium on Saturday in a 23-16 loss to in-state rival Kentucky, school officials also sent a strong message to fans who smoke: There are no longer designated smoking areas here - and if you leave the stadium to light up, you won't be allowed back in.

It's the same story at the University of Michigan, where all designated smoking areas at Michigan Stadium are gone this season. Stadium policy prohibits readmission to individuals who exit the stadium, so (as in Louisville) smokers who cannot go without a cigarette for three hours and need to step outside the gates also cannot return. Both universities are, or soon will be, smoke-free - although Louisville does have designated smoking areas throughout campus.
