School Spirit
School spirit is taken to the extreme at Florida State, especially during football season. The homecoming parade actually shuts down part of downtown Tallahassee. Game days are completely nuts. Be prepared to see nothing but garnet and gold everywhere you look. This is especially true when in-state rivals University of Florida or the University of Miami come to town. FSU students take great pride in their school, and it shows.
Getting Tickets
It is very easy to get tickets to most sporting events at FSU. All currently enrolled students pay an athletics fee with their tuition, so student tickets are free. For large events like football games, students request their tickets online, and block seating is available. A lottery will be used when student demand for tickets exceed the supply of available tickets, but usually this doesn't happen. For other events, students show their FSU ID to the ticket office located near Doak Campbell Stadium to receive their free ticket to the game.

Did You Know?
In the wake of the NCAA's 2005 decision not to support most Native American-themed mascots, there arose some uncertainty as to whether FSU could retain its use of the name "Seminoles," as well as images and symbols representing that name. A council meeting of the Seminole Tribe's elders in June of 2005, however, affirmed that the Tribe's relationship with FSU was a constructive one, and that FSU's traditions and depiction of the Seminole were respectful.
