01 — Who we are

A place to land on gameday

Seminole faithful who get together for each home football game. We aren’t trying to sell you anything. If you don’t have a tailgate of your own, you do now.

Free, always

No tickets, no wristbands, no pitch. We just want Noles to have a place to land on gameday.

Family friendly

Kids are welcome. Tomahawk toss, chairs, and a laid-back tent. There is alcohol on site, and we keep the atmosphere respectful.

You already belong

Don’t have a tailgate of your own? You do now. Pull up a chair. Stay for ten minutes or stay until you head inside.

02 — Under the tent

What you actually get

The inflatable canopy

Black arches, a garnet sail, and our spear on the front. Shade, a landmark, and the living room — chairs, couches, and TVs for the rest of gameday. The FSU game itself is inside Doak.

Tomahawk toss

An inflatable axe-throw next to the tent. Kids and grown-ups both get a turn.

BYOB welcome

Bring whatever you want to drink and keep it for yourself. Nobody expects you to stock the tent. Punch is on the table if you want a cup.

Garnet and gold punch

Two dispensers on the table — one red, one gold. Cups next to them. Help yourself.

How a Tribe Saturday goes

Full playbook

01

Tent goes up

We raise the inflatable at the published tailgate time.

02

Walk up

No gate, no list. Say hey. Grab a chair.

03

The hang

Punch, tomahawk toss, TVs on other games. The Noles play inside Doak.

04

Heritage Walk

Optional. Players walk into Doak from Heritage Fountain. Cheer them in — we don’t move as a pack.

05

Skull Session

Marching Chiefs at Dick Howser after the walk. Then inside for kickoff.

06 — The feel

How gameday looks from here

Tell us you’re coming

RSVP on each game’s Facebook event if you can — it helps us plan. Walking up without one is still welcome.
