Spring is in the air! It’s time to stop and smell the roses and suit up in your most garnet and gold attire. Everyone in Tallahassee knows the welcoming of Spring means the annual FSU Garnet & Gold game!
The FSU Garnet & Gold game is an annual spring football game held by Florida State University (FSU). The game is played between two teams consisting of FSU football players and serves as a scrimmage to showcase the team’s talent and prepare for the upcoming season.
The teams are divided into the Garnet team, which represents the offense, and the Gold team, which represents the defense. The game is held at famous Doak Campbell Stadium, the home of FSU’s football team.
The FSU Garnet & Gold game is a popular event for FSU alumni, students, and fans to attend and get a preview of the team before the start of the regular season. Whether it’s your first time going to the game or if you’re an avid attendee, we’ve laid out all the important details you’ll need for this year’s Garnet & Gold game.
So put your game faces on, it’s time to cheer on the FSU ‘Noles!
Florida State University’s first Garnet and Gold game was held on April 15, 1950. This annual spring football game has been a tradition at FSU for over 70 years, with the exception of a few years when it was not held due to construction or other circumstances.
The game has evolved over the years, but remains a highly anticipated event for FSU fans, and serves as an important part of the team’s preparation for the upcoming football season!
Every university has its own set of traditions during football season. We may be biased, but we think the Seminoles have the best in all the nation! As a student, alumni, or Tally local, you can’t attend an FSU game without knowing these deeply engrained football traditions:
