There is no pay-at-the-gate parking on the FSU campus for football. The 2026 Seminole Boosters map says every lot on it requires a permit. A Booster pass is $100 for the season, and you only get one with season tickets and a donation of at least $330. The public option with a published price is the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center lot, less than a mile away, at $20 to $30 a car. Pay cash if you buy on the day.
Accessible parking is a separate program: $25 a game in the West Pensacola Street garage (Lot 9), by application to TAPS. The next home game is Central Arkansas on Saturday, September 26 at 3:00 p.m. It is sold out, and Booster lots open five hours before kickoff, so 10:00 a.m.
| Option | Where | Cost | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booster general admission lot | Lots 9, 10, 12 to 14, 17, 19 to 23, 25 to 28 | $100 a season, plus a $330 minimum donation | Season ticket holders only. Picked in the spring. |
| Booster reserved lot | Lots 2 to 8, 11 and 15 | $100 a season, plus a $6,500 Golden Chief donation | Golden Chiefs keep last year's lot. |
| Tucker Civic Center lot | Main lot, under a mile from the stadium | $20 to $30 a car | Cash only on the day. Non-refundable. |
| Accessible parking (DPP) | West Pensacola Street garage, Lot 9, floors 1 to 3 | $25 a game or $100 a season | Application and placard required. No re-entry. |
| Resale pass | Lot named on the pass | Listed per home game | Check which lot you are buying. |
| Parking apps | ParkWhiz and SpotHero | No price shown | Only the Florida game is listed, with no reserved parking. |
| Rideshare | By Lot 29, and on Lake Bradford Road | No parking fee; fares not published | Postgame roads close around the stadium. |
On game day the Seminole Boosters run campus parking. FSU's parking office marks Booster areas garnet and general public areas gold.
Booster access starts with football season tickets at the Renegade level or above. General admission lots need a minimum $330 donation, and you pick in the spring. Reserved lots 2 to 8, 11 and 15 need a Golden Chief donation of $6,500, and Golden Chiefs get the same lot as last year. Every pass is $100 for the season and is delivered digitally. The Boosters publish no single-game sale.
Reserved lots hand you a printed space pass on arrival. If it is not on display, you can be towed.
All vehicles must be out of garnet Booster areas by 11:59 p.m. the night before the game, or they are towed at the owner's expense.
Without a Booster pass, the Tucker Civic Center is the only lot we found with a published football price. It charges $20 to $30 a car, and the price varies by game.
Tucker sells advance parking for all five remaining home games on Ticketmaster. Day-of parking is cash only and payments are non-refundable. We could not see a per-game price, because the event page returned a bot check.
FSU's parking office says gold areas are for the general public, but names and prices them only on an interactive map. The Boosters map marks one public garage in CollegeTown, east of Lot 14, with no name or rate. The $10 day-of garage figure on the Boosters page applies to basketball, not football.

Kickoffs are from the official schedule and the Central Arkansas announcement. Lot times are our arithmetic from the Boosters rule: five hours before kickoff, or noon, whichever is earlier.
In Booster lots you tailgate inside your own space. Tents and cooking devices must not get in the way of neighbours, adjacent spaces or the travel lanes.
Spaces are 20 ft by 14 ft (Lot 5 is 19 by 14), and your vehicle and gear must fit inside. Unauthorized selling and golf carts are banned. Rules on generators, tent sizes and alcohol are not published. At Tucker, grills, fire pits and alcohol are allowed. With no lot at all, Howser Green is a free tailgating area from four hours to one hour before kickoff. Stadium gates open two hours before kickoff.
The 2026 Boosters map marks two rideshare pickup and drop-off points: one beside Lot 29 near North Woodward Avenue, and one on Lake Bradford Road near Jackson Bluff Road.
Nothing else about rideshare is published. Plan around the postgame roads from FSU News. Pensacola Street east of the stadium becomes one-way eastbound. Stadium Drive is closed southbound from Tennessee Street, and Lake Bradford Road is closed northbound from Levy Avenue to Gaines Street. Delays run until about an hour after the game.
No public game-day bus is published. The StarMetro FSU route page does not mention football, and FSU Safe Ride does not run on home game days.
The Boosters map shows Seminole Shuttle stops, with no route, hours or fare. The city's 2025 notice mentioned Booster courtesy carts. We found no 2026 confirmation.
Booster motorhome parking is for members at the Tomahawk level and above with fully self-contained motorhomes. Everyone else can use Tucker, at $175 to $250 for an RV.
Booster registration runs from 9 a.m. Monday to noon Tuesday of game week. The motorhome areas sit off Jackson Bluff Road and Airport Drive. At Tucker, RVs enter from 2:00 p.m. Friday or 8:00 a.m. Saturday and leave by noon Sunday, with no multi-night discount. Charter buses cost $150 per bus per game through the Boosters.
Accessible game-day parking runs through FSU's Disabled Parking Program, not the Boosters. Spaces are mostly on floors 1 to 3 of the West Pensacola Street garage (Booster Lot 9), at St. Augustine and Walker streets.
Apply to TAPS at (850) 644-5278. A single game is $25 and the season is $100, waived for qualifying disabled military veterans. The placard holder must attend. A complimentary shuttle runs to the stadium. There is no re-entry, grills are banned in the garage, and cars must be out by 5 p.m. the next day. Taking a DPP space cancels any Booster parking you hold. One conflict: the Seminoles FAQ still says "Pensacola Street Garage, level 1". The 2026 TAPS form says floors 1 to 3.
We checked official, local and marketplace sources for each remaining game on September 25. Only one public lot publishes a football price for non-donors.
Lot lists conflict too. The city's 2025 notice called lots 7 and 11 general admission. The 2026 Boosters table puts them in the reserved tier. Trust the lot printed on your pass.
With a Booster pass, park in the lot printed on it. Without one, the Tucker Civic Center lot is less than a mile from the stadium and charges $20 to $30 a car, cash only on the day.
None is published. The 2026 Boosters map says all campus parking on it requires a permit on game days. The free baseball lots on the Boosters page are for baseball, not football.
Car parking is $20 to $30 depending on the game, and RV parking is $175 to $250. Day-of parking is cash only and all payments are non-refundable.
The Boosters publish no single-game sale. Their passes are $100 for the season and require season tickets plus a donation of at least $330.
Booster lots open five hours before kickoff, and no later than noon. For the 3:00 p.m. Central Arkansas game that means 10:00 a.m. Stadium gates open two hours before kickoff.
