**Shortly after communication with Collegian reporters and Late Night Fort Collins’ blog post “Is the Rec Room racist” the establishment posted their dress code for the public at the entrance to the Yeti @ the Rec Room. CTV reporter Lena Howland photographed the dress code policy on Sunday, Feb. 2. The following document is transcribed exactly as it appeared on the sign, including the misspelled words “foot-ware” and “discression”:
