Stadium: Doak Campbell Stadium
Since the stadium opened on Oct. 7, 1950 with Florida State University taking a 40-7 victory over Randolph-Macon, millions of fans have packed Doak S. Campbell to see the finest in college football action. In 2003, Florida State set a single season attendance mark by drawing 498,895 fans over six home games. The latest expansion is the ninth in the history of the stadium. The current capacity of 82,300 reflects an increase of 28,281 since the end of the 1991 season. Florida State first began play at Centennial Field during the inaugural 1947 season. In the three seasons that the Seminoles called Centennial Field their home, FSU had an overall home record of 8-4, including Coach Don Veller's undefeated 8-0 home mark over the 1948 and '49 seasons.

Season Preview:
If only the Seminoles had last year's schedule, complete with eight home games. Instead, they open at Clemson, which was their choice to get the prime-time event on Labor Day night, and will play seven of the 12 games away from Doak Campbell Stadium. As part of the agreement with Alabama, that game on Sept. 29 will feature a 50-50 split on tickets and may even have more Alabama fans. The Seminoles' biggest issue remains the familiar one: Can they have a star quarterback emerge? Without one, they have no chance. New offensive line coach Rick Trickett stayed hoarse, screaming and demanding more toughness from players. It has been acknowledged by coaches and players that FSU's offensive line was not physical enough, not tough enough. The Seminoles appear to be junking the four-wide, spread formation offense and going into more of a run-featured style which requires solid offensive line play. A bulk of the Seminoles' top defensive players missed spring due to injury, which contributed to sporadic performances. But FSU's defense has consistently performed well, even during the last several years. New linebackers coach Chuck Amato fit right in, primarily because he knows the personnel so well and knew FSU's philosophy on defense. Graham Gano has locked up the punting duties and continues to push returning PK Gary Cismesia on field-goal duties. The Seminoles will miss Lawrence Timmons, a possible early draft pick, on special teams.
