Points will be tallied and kept on a calendar year basis. After December 31st, 10% of your Red Zone points will roll over towards the next calendar year.

Red Zone Points may be used to gain priority access to tickets for postseason games (e.g., Pac-12 Championship Game, Bowl games). First priority access will be given to top point holders earlier in the week, and access will be given to lower point holders until all tickets are distributed.

Other prizes and unique opportunities will be offered to top point holders throughout the academic year. Further details will be shared later.

Stanford University and the Pac-12 Conference are committed to serving our fans by providing a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience on Game Day. We ask all students to abide by a Fan Code of Conduct to ensure that your experience, and the experience of all fans, is consistent with our commitment.

We ask that all students wear Stanford or Cardinal-colored t-shirts when sitting/standing in the student section. Students wearing apparel with opposing team logos or displaying items supporting the visiting team may be relocated out of the student section at all venues at the discretion of event management personnel.
