North Florida Fair - Have some time on Friday night or Sunday? Need to cure that hangover with funnel cakes? Visit the fair!. This week’s artist is Payton Smith, a country singer-songwriter. The party is 5-10pm with vendors, food/drink tents, and always features a concert. An upscale select service hotel but gives you everything you need.įriday Night Block Party – Formerly Downtown Get Down, this Block Party meets Pep Rally has moved from downtown to Collegetown. It’s on the edge of the FSU bubble and walking distance to FAMU.Īloft – A bit further away in Downtown, it’s still a quick ride into the stadium. Hyatt House – Opened in 2020, it’s walking distance to a great area known as Railroad Square with a collection of bars and restaurants. In the heart of Gaines Street (a stretch of great bars & restaurants) Residence Inn – a great option for groups travelling together. Hotel Indigo - In the heart of Collegetown, this is the closest hotel to the stadium and is in the heart of all the action. Option 1: Reliving your college yearsĪre you in college or just wish you still were? Prep your liver, grab your 4 Lokos, and let’s go. The rest of this article is split into two camps: Reliving your college years vs I’m too old for that shit. It’s…a…thing?ġ2:00pm - Legacy Walk – the team enters the stadium (South End Zone, Gate K)ġ:00pm - Marching Chiefs Skull Session – listen to songs from the FSU marching band written by membersĢ:30pm until just before kickoff – Visit Renegade in the lower west end of the stadium. There is also a really bizarre Sod Cemetery just north of the stadium where they bring sod back from the fields of their big wins. You can learn more at the FSU Pregame Activities site. You can find more information on the prohibited items and policies on the FSU clear bag policy page.įSU traditions: There are several FSU traditions for those that are interested. Getting into the Game: FSU has a similar Clear Bag Policy to NFL and the Hard Rock Stadium. Pedicabs are generally available to take you to the stadium. Parking in these lots will be $10 per vehicle. Official FSU cash parking is available in the lots around the FSU Basketball Arena (Donald L Tucker Civic Center - 505 W Pensacola St, Tallahassee, FL 32301). Parking is generally available in private parking lots around the stadium (not quite the Orange Bowl lawns but close). Many of the surrounding private lots will open earlier Parking: The official FSU Parking Lots Open at 10:30am.

This doesn’t always update in Apple/Google maps. Traffic: On gameday TPD often change two way roads into one way roads to relieve traffic. Walk a few blocks to a less busy street when you can. Uber exists but is widely used by college kids as many don’t have a car and the traffic patterns change on gameday so expect lengthy wait times and possible surge pricing. And remember, while our motto is “Let’s Be Jerks” remember that is for the opposing fans, not the awesome people working hard to make sure we have a great time at the game. Try to have a cross street or Apple Map pin to share.

You can flag down a driver or text 85 for a pick up. I highly suggest Capital City Pedicabs to get around while in the Downtown/FSU area. Getting around: Parking is scarce and there is almost no paid parking in town. Fantastic campus!) There are lots of chains but, if you look hard enough, we have some fantastic local places! More on that later… (BTW – definitely stop by FAMU if you have time. It has a mostly business driven downtown that is right next to both FSU and FAMU. You have been warned.Įven if you’ve been to Tallahassee before, there have likely been lots of changes since you were last here! New hotels, new bars, and definitely a whole new UM alumni club! (more on that at the end)ĭespite being the capital, Tallahassee is a fairly small town (under 200,000 people). Warning: Do NOT turn the chop into a drinking game or you will die within an hour of arriving in Tallahassee. Okay friends, it is time for the SOTU Game Day Travel Guides: Florida State Edition!īe prepared to hear the chop ad nauseum. But that’s another story.Īs I’ve done in the past, I’ve enlisted a good friend of mine, Robin Dunlap, to give you the lay of the land if you’re going to Tallahassee for Canes-Noles this weekend.Īnd, as a bonus, she and her husband Aaron (a former SOTU contributor and my freshman Spanish classmate at The U) have established the Tallahassee Miami Alumni club, and will be hosting an event there too! I know, AWESOME! Welcome to Tallahassee.says the sign that I’m sure exists somewhere up there in that City I’ve never personally been to.
