More college football coming to the First Coast

Jacksonville, FL — As WOKV first reported earlier this week, the JAXSPORTS Council has now confirmed Florida State and Boise State football will face off in Jacksonville next year.

The game will take place Labor Day weekend at TIAA Bank Field, which was formerly known as EverBank Field. The game will be nationally televised.

The JAXSPORTS Council says FSU has a traditionally strong fanbase in Jacksonville, and they’re always looking to tap in to big opportunities to bring attention to the River City. The organization says they’ve been specifically working to bring an opening weekend college football game to Jacksonville for a long time.

This will be the first time FSU has faced Boise State. It’s part of a two-game series, with the second game in 2020.

Ticket priority will be given to FSU Boosters and Season Ticket Holders, then TaxSlayer Gator Bowl ticket holders/JAXSPORTS members, and finally, the general public. FSU's ticket request period starts November 1, 2018, through their website or 888-FSU-NOLE. The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl and JAXSPORTS ticket request period begins February 1, 2019, through their website. Boise State ticket requests start in the spring of 2019, through their website or 208-426-4737.
