OPENING THE DOORS

Doak Campbell Stadium opened its doors to great fanfare in the 1950 season. On October 7, the stadium hosted its first game, a 40-7 victory over Randolph-Macon College. On October 28, 12,000 fans packed into the stadium as FSU hosted Doak Campbell Stadium Dedication Day as part of its homecoming festivities. FSU defeated Sewanee, 14-8, that day, followed by incredible performances from the FSU marching band.
