FSU fans rejoice as garnet colored end zones make a comeback for Alabama game

Florida State football fans can’t say their Athletic Director, Michael Alford, doesn’t listen to the fans. I’ve long been a big advocate for Michael Alford, even when he was over the Seminole Booster Club, before he became the Athletic Director.

He always seems to be one step ahead, whether it’s finding new ways to raise money for FSU, needed renovations in multiple sports, building a football-only facility, or leading the charge to either get out of the ACC or find a way to get more money and a clear exit strategy to leave the ACC.

We can add one more thing to the docket, and that’s bringing back garnet colored end zones that fans have been asking for since forever.

Fan Reaction

It’s a small but easy gesture, it seems, to acknowledge the fans who have been vocal about it. FSU has a major opponent for its season opener on Saturday when the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide rolls into Tallahassee. Will the garnet colored end zones help FSU win the game or bring them good luck? Probably not, but it’s probably a good idea to try to appease a fan base that’s thirsty for any type of win.

The fan base endured one of the most disappointing seasons imaginable, as many fans were displaced from their long-time seats due to stadium renovations that took place throughout last year. Things have become more expensive, and more money is always needed from boosters to keep up with the ever-changing landscape in college football.  

It should be an electric atmosphere inside Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Here's hoping the 70,000 in attendance can watch the FSU offense enter the garnet colored end zones many times.
