The new code forms part of a broader campaign to ensure the Adelaide Oval remains the premier spectator experience in the AFL, following three months of unprecedented success and support at the venue.
The Power is enjoying its highest ever home crowds and has built a fresh and exciting supporter culture at the Oval, culminating with its South Australian AFL record crowd in Round 10 against Hawthorn.
Port Adelaide chief executive officer Keith Thomas says while the club is enjoying unprecedented crowds in 2014, the club wants to ensure its home games remain enjoyable environments for all spectators.
"We've loved the passion and supporter culture our people have exhibited over the last three months," Mr Thomas told portadelaidefc.com.au.
"We want to ensure that everyone can enjoy what it means to come and see the Power - or their own team - play at the Adelaide Oval for the rest of this year and into the future.
"That's why we've launched this code of behaviour - it's something that binds all of our members and ticket holders to uphold our club values and help to create a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through the gate.
"It doesn't mean we can't still be loud and proud and passionate, but we must all be positive and respectful in our support of the club and our fantastic new home ground.
The code of behaviour has a zero-tolerance stance to disrespectful behaviour that makes spectators feel unsafe or unwelcome at the Adelaide Oval.
Mr Thomas doesn't think that will be an issue, but is encouraging anyone who feels unsafe at the game to use notification systems available to them, such as by texting the stadium information line 0400 TELL US (0400 835 587).
"We've had large attendances from the supporters of interstate clubs this year and they all share the view that Port Adelaide home games are a unique and exciting experience to attend, so for the most part we couldn't be happier with the way our crowds have continued to build and welcome other fans to the ground," said Mr Thomas.
"But that doesn't mean we can't put systems in place to ensure it continues on.
"Ken Hinkley and the players set high expectations within the clubrooms and on the field, so do our staff and volunteers at the club, so I'm sure all of our members and supporters will agree that if you're part of our footy club, there are positive and respectful values you need to be part of.
"We expect all of our people will fully embrace what we've done here, which is to state clearly and accessibly what is expected of everyone when they come to support Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval or anywhere else around the country.
"I also just want to thank everyone who's got behind the club so far this year - it seems the football world is agreed that Power games are a pleasure for everyone watching in the stands and we only expect that to continue for the rest of the year."
