How will FSU stadium experience change in 2024 amid renovations? Expect 24,000 fewer seats
Construction is well underway at the stadium. Renovations are set to continue leading into the 2024 season and should be completed before the start of the 2025 season ahead of the Seminoles' opener against Alabama.
Alford admitted the construction will have an impact on the 2024 season. Capacity is likely to be capped at around 55,000, down from the sell-out capacity of 79,560 in 2023.
In 2025, Alford said he anticipates the maximum capacity to be back in the upper-60,000s, lower-70,000s range. But the experience for the fans should be improved, even with a lower capacity.
While an exact capacity has not been established yet, Alford said in a Board of Trustees Meeting on Feb. 1 that he expected the capacity of the stadium to be in the upper 50,000 range.
That likely makes FSU football game tickets more premium than they have been in past seasons. There will also be constant construction going on around the stadium, meaning gameday traffic will also be different than in seasons past.
Alford said the premium club seats are almost 75% sold out already and they are starting to develop a waitlist for people.
While FSU will have a reduced capacity even when the construction and renovations are fully done in 2025, there is an upside to it: More room at your seat.
All of it leads to a better fan experience, according to FSU.
"Right now your tread depth is 27 inches, meaning your knees are in the back of the person in front of you," Zierden said. "Then when we go through and even the bleachers that we put back there will be brand new bleachers, not the same bleachers that are out there now, a 33-inch tread depth.
