Tailgating

Checked at the source
On the FSU game-day parking map, gold zones are general public parking and garnet zones are reserved for Seminole Boosters. Less than a mile from the stadium, the Civic Center lot opens 3 hours before kickoff. Cars pay $20 to $30, cash only. Grills, fire pits and alcohol are allowed if you keep them attended. Booster lots open 5 hours before kickoff, or by noon. Each space is 20 by 14 feet for car plus tailgate. Cookers and tents must not block neighbors or lanes. RVs park at the Tucker Civic Center for $175 to $250, arriving from 2 PM Friday or 8 AM Saturday, and must leave by noon Sunday. Madison Social in Collegetown takes bookings for table tailgates at home games and opens at 10 AM on Saturdays.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Don't leave a car in a game-day lot overnight on Friday. All vehicles must be out of those lots by 11:59 PM the night before the game or they are towed at the owner's cost.
