PARKING PRIORITY Parking benefits are reserved for Booster members at the Warrior level ($650 annually) and above. Tailgating is encouraged and available for fans to add to their game day experience. We have a few guidelines that we ask fans to abide by to ensure a high quality game day for all fans. Those are available online on the Parking Priority page at SeminoleBoosters.com Parking lots open five hours prior to kick off. There are exceptions during certain home games, and these will be announced ahead of time. Numbered First Use Lots: Permits for numbered Booster lots provide access to a specific lot, within which you may select a space on a first-come, first-served basis. Donors who renew at the same level are assigned the same lot as the previous year and will have the opportunity to select a new lot during the seat and parking relocation process that takes place in May. Relocation is done in priority order and based on availability. Numbered Reserved Lots: Permits for numbered Booster lots 1-6 are both an assigned lot and space within the lot. These spaces are reserved for Legacy, Platinum, and Golden Chiefs. Donors who renew at the same level are assigned the same lot and space as in the previous year, unless otherwise requested via email or phone through the Seminole Boosters office. Motorhome parking assignments are based on priority and availability.

Belief. Faith. Support. Gratitude. These are the first words that come to mind when I think of the support that I receive from the Seminole Boosters as a student-athlete at Florida State University. The Boosters are the team behind the teams. We know they are there for us providing scholarship support, cheering us on in the stands, and encouraging us to be the best versions of ourselves for today and tomorrow.
