Way More Seating Options

"“It’s very important to develop a more diverse range of products. A good stadium has seven to 10 different (seating) options that you get to choose from. Really, right now we’re at three: a seat, a club seat or a suite.”"

The good thing about this is the pricing will be more varied along with the many different options. It’s expensive to take a family to a college football game nowadays and having more options that may make the experience more affordable should help attendance.

"Fans in the premium club area will be able to come down to the field-level club and stand on a railing right behind the FSU bench area during games, providing a different in-game experience. As for the south end zone, FSU would be creating seven different seating options. These would include cabanas, ledge seating, standing free porch seating (fans would have a place to stand and a table to lean on and put things on but no seat), both premium and regular loge boxes and club seating with sofa-like cushions and phone chargers in each seat."

I  know each time I’ve been to games and sat on those bleachers, my back paid the price, not to mention I got cooked in that Tallahassee heat.

A phone charger in each seat? Who wouldn’t want to chill in a cabana while kicking Miami’s butt up and down the field? The option to stand right behind the bench area during games? Come on, you’d try to fire the boys up right there if they were not meeting expectations(that option is probably a gift and a curse, honestly).

I don’t see how anyone could be upset with more seating options. Also, those season ticket holders affected by the renovations will personally be assisted with finding new seats by Seminole Boosters.
