Update:

Jason Rothfarb, vice president for Student Affairs for University of Alabama SGA, issued a follow-up statement regarding his previous email related to disruptions during the Alabama/LSU football game. The email was published via social media:

“Some have misinterpreted my comment regarding “disruptive behavior.” As with other games this season, Organization’s Block Seating locations will be clearly marked, but at certain times, other students can and should have access to open seats. By disruptive behavior, we are asking students to be respectful to all students and staff and avoid altercations.

My email has nothing do with anyone’s First Amendment rights and I am sorry for any confusion. Please express yourself and especially your pride for the Tide.”

Rothfarb’s comments come after a letter was sent to block seat groups warning that “Any organizations that engage in disruptive behavior during the game will be removed from block seating instantly for the remainder of the season.”

The cautionary note was sent just days before President Trump’s expected appearance at Bryant Denny Stadium.

In a separate statement, Jackson Fuentes, SGA Press Secretary, said "The SGA strongly affirms its belief in free speech and the rights of all students to express their opinions. Today’s report erroneously assigned a political context to a message meant only to remind students about heightened security and the consequences of altercations or other behaviors unbecoming of a University of Alabama student, as defined in the Capstone Creed.

“We look forward to cheering on the Crimson Tide, alongside the student body, on Saturday afternoon.”

Fuentes confirmed to AL.com that this is the first time this season a letter about disruptions was sent to block seating organizations.

“No other game this season has had the amount of attention that this one has received. Thus our statement was timely and was made for the safety of all students,” he said.

Earlier:

The Student Government Association at the University of Alabama is warning student groups that causing disruptions during President Trump’s visit to the Tide’s Saturday game vs. LSU could result in the loss of reserved seating for the remainder of the season.

A letter from Jason Rothfarb, vice president of Student Affairs, said additional security will be in Bryant Denny’s student section during the Saturday afternoon football game. President Trump is expected to be in the audience.

Disruptive activities will have consequences, Rothfarb wrote.

“Any organizations that engage in disruptive behavior during the game will be removed from block seating instantly for the remainder of the season,” he wrote.

Copies of the letter were posted to social media.

From the University of Alabama SGA, ahead of President Trump's visit to the game. Strange that in all the games in which drunken bacchanalia has been tolerated, if not celebrated and encouraged I've never once been warned to not be "disruptive" pic.twitter.com/1j87QlxSDr — Carter-William (@carterwilliam_) November 6, 2019

The SGA has not responded to request for comment on the letter.

Almost 60 student groups – mostly Greek organizations – have reserved seat blocks at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Everyone attending the game is urged to arrive early due to additional security measures in place.

Rothfarb told students groups that all members of the organizations should be in the stadium no later than 12:30 p.m. ahead of the 2:30 p.m. kickoff.

Stadium gates open at 11:30 a.m.

In addition to the presidential visit, ESPN’s College GameDay and the SEC Network’s SEC Nation will be broadcasting live from Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox tweeted out photos of city officials working on plans for the day.
