Former FSU DT Corey Simon Proposes Bill Banning Field Storming, Throwing Objects

Former Florida State defensive tackle Corey Simon doesn't want students at his alma mater or any Florida college celebrating major victories by storming the field.

Simon, who is now a Florida State Senator and member of the Republican Party, is teaming up with Rep. Taylor Yarkosky for a proposal that would ban fans from storming the field or throwing objects onto the field during sporting events, per James Call of the Tallahassee Democrat.

The idea of SB 764/HB 319, which is a three-page bill, is to define where the general public is not permitted to enter during athletic, theatrical, musical or other entertainment performances in order to protect players, coaches, artists, officials and other people who are allowed in those defined areas.
