Media Accommodations
Credentialed media members are welcome to arrive to the press box/area no earlier than one hour prior to an athletic event. The press box/area will remain open for 30 minutes following the conclusion of an event. Media members may then relocate to the athletic communications office in Esby Gym.
Game programs, rosters and statistical handouts will be provided for media at each home event. Printouts of halftime statistics will be available at field hockey, men's basketball and women's lacrosse games as well as quarterly statistics for football and women's basketball contests. Final box scores will also be provided and updated season statistics can be found on RowanAthletics.com.
Sideline Policy
To comply with NCAA rules and for the safety of competitors, fans, officials and game management staff, the following policy will govern sideline access at all Rowan University athletic venues.
The field level is for those who are performing a service associated with action on the field of play and for administration of the game as well as credentialed members of the media. For the safety of all those involved, credentialed personnel are required to keep a 12-foot buffer between themselves and the sideline.
Sideline passes do not grant access to team bench areas. To switch ends of the field/court/pool, credentialed personnel are required to walk around the team area, not through it. Violation of this policy could result in a warning from game management staff, revoking of credentials and/or ejection from the site of competition.
Interview Policy
All interviews should be coordinated through the Rowan University athletic communications office. Please give at least 24 hours notice for all interview requests. Players and coaches are available to media throughout the week. Interviews will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time with coaches and student-athletes.
If an in-person meeting cannot be scheduled, phone interviews will be coordinated through the athletic communications office. Phone numbers for student-athletes will not be released.
Postgame interviews will be arranged with the athletic communications staff member covering the event. Players and coaches will be made available following a brief cooling off period at the conclusion of the contest. Please contact the appropriate sport contact listed above to set up interviews.
