By now you know: Due to Hurricane Dorian, Saturday’s season opener between Florida State and Boise State has been moved from Jacksonville to Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, and kickoff has been changed from 7 pm to noon.

Of course, there are several logistical complications that have to be addressed with such a late change, and FSU Athletics recently issued a statement detailing some of the particulars about how things will work on Saturday.

We know you have questions, so in an effort to make this switch as seamless as possible for you and yours, we’re including the pertinent information from Florida State below.

All tickets previously purchased for the game in Jacksonville will be refunded. Florida State will sell $10.00 general admission tickets online. Fans are strongly urged to purchase tickets online at www.noles.co/GA. There will be no reserved seating in the stadium. FSU and Boise State students with valid IDs will be admitted free of charge.

Tickets can be purchased at the Dick Howser Stadium box office at Doak Campbell on game day, but the price will increase to $15. Tickets ordered online on game day will remain at the $10 price.

With the exception of parking lots 1-6, which are reserved for game staffing and Golden Chief Boosters, the parking lots that service Doak Campbell Stadium will be free of charge to the general public and will open at 7:00 a.m. A map showing available parking will be posted on Seminoles.com Friday morning.
