Florida State Seminoles Football Tickets

The Seminoles football team has a long and illustrious tradition that is synonymous with the war chant, the school hymns and the appearance of Osceola and Renegade before the game. The Seminoles briefly fielded a football team between 1902 and 1904 back when it was known as Florida State College, but it wasn’t until 1947 that the school established a permanent program. The team’s fortunes changed in 1976 with the arrival of head coach Bobby Bowden, who built the Seminoles into one of the premiere teams of college football. After the team finally shed its independent status in 1992 and joined the Atlantic Coast Conference, Florida State won the conference title every year between 1992 and 2000 and two national championships in 1993 and 1999. It was one of the most successful decades for any program in college football history. Following Bowden’s retirement after the 2009 season, Jimbo Fisher took over as head coach of the program and won another national championship in 2013. You can purchase your Florida State Seminoles tickets at StubHub and experience the tradition for yourself.
