Notre Dame to face full house of fans at Florida State?

A return to normal to start off this football season?

Notre Dame opens the 2021 football season on September 5 this year at Florida State and even if means a tougher environment for the road Irish, good news seems to be coming as Doak Campbell Stadium may host a full crowd of fans that evening.

In an e-mail to Florida State season ticket holders that was sent this week, the University is taking an official step towards getting to full capacity.

The e-mail reads:

Each spring the Seminole Ticket Office offers football season ticket holders and Seminole Booster members an opportunity to enhance their game day experience by selecting seating and parking locations for the upcoming football season.

At this time, we are planning for 100% capacity inside Doak Campbell Stadium this fall. You will be notified should we receive any new information regarding any changes relating to the upcoming football season.

If you are a returning member and/or season ticket holder, and are happy with your current seating and/or parking location, then no action is necessary at this time. Your same seats and/or parking from the 2019 season (or summer 2020 relocation prior to reduced capacity) have been secured for this season. However, we strongly recommend you take a few minutes to view open seat locations, even if you are happy with your current location. It only takes a few minutes and some locations that have become available this year may surprise you. Please note, this is not required, and you will not lose your current seat location if you choose not to participate.

Ticketing Note: All ticket balances must be paid in full prior to finalizing any seating upgrade/movement (unless you are currently utilizing a ticket payment plan).

It may mean a tougher environment for Notre Dame to have to travel to and play in but after the largely empty stadiums we watched games played in last year, I’m personally thrilled for there to be 79,560 screaming die-hards back in the stands that night.
