Florida State will host ULM on Dec. 2 in Doak Campbell Stadium, FSU Vice President
and Director of Athletics Stan Wilcox announced Tuesday. The game was rescheduled
after the original date of Sept. 9 was canceled due to Hurricane Irma.
“I appreciate the efforts of our administration as well as the administration and
Coach Viator at ULM to get this game rescheduled,” head coach Jimbo Fisher said. “It
was unfortunate for both teams that we were not able to play this game in September,
and both teams deserve the chance to play their 12th game of the season. Any time
we have the opportunity to play in Doak Campbell Stadium in front of our fans we are
excited. However, this week our complete focus is on Clemson.”
“Our student-athletes and coaches are looking forward to playing Florida State on
Dec. 2,” ULM Athletics Director Nick Floyd said. “We deeply appreciate the cooperation
of all parties involved who made it possible to reschedule this game.”
Kickoff time is set for Noon, with television to be determined. Tickets and parking
passes previously issued for the original Sept. 9 game will be honored. Fans can purchase
tickets by visiting Seminoles.com or by calling the FSU Athletics Ticket Office at
850-644-1830 or 888-378-6653 between 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Tickets are $30
for sideline seats, $25 for end zone sections and $12 for youths 18 and under.
The Seminoles’ September schedule was disrupted by the hurricane, which made landfall
in Florida on Sept. 10 and impacted the majority of the state, including Tallahassee.
In addition to being unable to play the ULM game, FSU’s home game against rival Miami
was moved from Sept. 16 to Oct. 7. The delays led to Florida State waiting 21 days
between its season opener against Alabama on Sept. 2 and returning to the field against
North Carolina State on Sept. 23, tied for the third-longest break between regular
season games in program history.
Florida State travels to 4th-ranked Clemson on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on
ESPN.
