Doak S. Campbell Stadium, officially Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium and affectionately known as “Doak”, is the football stadium located on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. It serves as the home field for the Florida State Seminoles, members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
The stadium first opened in 1950, named after Doak S. Campbell, FSU’s first president. In 2004, the Florida Legislature added legendary head coach Bobby Bowden’s name to the field in recognition of his decades of leadership and success. In 2020, a petition was filed to remove Campbell’s name due to his opposition to racial integration during his tenure, but as of June 2022, no changes have been made.
Part of the University Center complex, the facility includes offices, classrooms, the visitor center, the souvenir store, and the Dunlap Champions Club, which features skyboxes and press boxes for game days. With a seating capacity of 67,277, Doak ranks as the third-largest stadium in the ACC and 26th-largest in the NCAA.
