The college football season opener for Boise State and Florida State will kick off earlier, further inland -- and with cheaper tickets.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The college football season opener for Boise State and Florida State will kick off a few hours sooner and a little further inland with discounted ticket prices because of the threat of Hurricane Dorian.
Jacksonville officials, along with those from Florida State and Boise State, collaborated on the decision. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency Wednesday, urging residents and visitors to take precaution before the storm hits. The decision to move the football game was made to keep fans away from the coastal region ahead of storm making landfall.
Florida State officials began scurrying into action late Thursday morning as a crew painted the numerals and hashmarks on the field at Doak Campbell Stadium. It is part of an intense two-day process that also includes adjustments to ticketing as well as arranging security, concessions, parking and other game-day necessities for fans.
It’s second consecutive game for Boise State that has been impacted by the weather. In the last game the Broncos played in — the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl in Dallas against Boston College Dec. 26 — was canceled because of the threat of severe weather after a delay of nearly 1 1/2 hours. BC was leading 7-0 with 5:08 remaining.
