 Doak
Campbell Stadium
Tallahassee, FL
Perhaps one of the most famous
football stadiums in college football, Doak Campbell Stadium has been
the home to many great Seminole teams. Prior to moving into Doak
Campbell Stadium, the Florida State Seminoles played at Centennial
Field. Florida State decided to build a new stadium for the football
team by the late 1940s. Named after former Florida State President Doak S. Campbell, the Seminoles played their first game at the stadium
on October 7, 1950 against Randolph Macon. Originally the stadium had
a seating capacity of 15,000 with seating on both sides of the
gridiron.

With continual growing support over the past five decades,
Doak Campbell Stadium has been expanded many times. The stadium was
expanded in 1954, 1961 and by 1970 bringing the capacity to 40,500.
Additional renovations occurred in 1982 and in the 1990s. Today, Doak
Campbell Stadium has a capacity of 82,300. An enormous single tier
grandstand encloses the entire field. On the south end zone is a new
building that contains a food court, restaurant, and sports grill.
Located on the rim on the north end zone are football offices that
overlook the field. Luxury suites and the press box are also located
along the rim of the stadium. Outside, the brick exterior fits in well
with surrounding buildings. Florida State fans have had a lot to cheer
for in the past several years including the Seminoles winning the
inaugural ACC Championship game in 2005.
