Florida State's Saturday home opener against Charleston Southern marks the debut of the newest amenities at Doak Campbell Stadium, including the Champions Club. At a cost of $79.5 million dollars including the Champions club, new scoreboard and sideline panels, it is the first major renovation to Doak Campbell since 2008 when the previous scoreboards were installed.
There are two main levels to the Champions club, with the upper section located on the sixth floor, adjacent to the top rows of the sideline bleachers at the stadium:

As seen in the video above, there is an outdoor bar and patio area, that is covered by tents, and in the shade. On that patio are two bars, a food section with a very nice menu (which you can see in the video) as well as a view of the Florida State campus and Downtown Tallahassee from the back. As for the seats, they are cushioned and quite large with seat backs, unlike the rest of the stadium filled with bleachers. As evident by the video, the sound system at Doak Campbell has also been revamped, and despite the reduction of seats, the stadium should be louder than ever before.
The lower section of the Champions Club is located directly beneath the seating of the upper tier:

Every seat in the lower section, located on floor four, are completely covered in shade. The lobby is all inside and air conditioned with multiple bars and food stations. There are also pillars, recognizing some of the greatest former Seminoles in history, including Jameis Winston, Bobby Bowden and Ron Sellers. The seats are the same as the upper level, and are a mix of garnet and gold in color. In total, there are 5,800 seats in the new Champions Club and the new total Doak Campbell seating capacity is 79,560.
