The stadium is part of the University Center complex, a mixed-use facility encompassing university office space, university classrooms, a food court, souvenir store, The University Center Club, as well as skyboxes and press boxes for use during football games. Following the latest expansion in 2003, the stadium has a seating capacity of 82,300.

At that time the facility had a seating capacity of 15,000. ==Statues Surrounding the Stadium== *Unconquered, a bronze sculpture by Fritz White depicting Chief Osceola, the school's mascot, and his horse, Renegade. *Sportsmanship, a bronze sculpture by Edward Jonas, is a 155' tall statue depicting a standing football player extending his arm to help pick up a fallen rival on the field. *A bronze statue of head football coach, Bobby Bowden. ===Stadium capacities=== {| border="1" cellpadding="5" !Years !Capacity |- |1950-1953 |15,000 |- |1954-1960 |19,000 |- |1961-1963 |25,000 |- |1964-1977 |40,500 |- |1978-1979 |47,413 |- |1980-1981 |51,094 |- |1982-1984 |55,246 |- |1985-1991 |60,519 |- |1992 |70,123 |- |1993 |72,589 |- |1995 |77,500 |- |1996-2001 |80,000 |- |2001-2002 |82,000 |- |2003- |82,300 |} ===Top 10 Single Season Home Attendances=== {| border="1" cellpadding="5" !No. !Year !Games !Total !Average |- |1. |2003 |6 |498,895 |83,149 |- |2. |2002 |6 |490,598 |81,766 |- |3. |2001 |6 |488,645 |81,441 |- |4. |2000 |6 |484,985 |80,830 |- |5. |1998 |6 |482,941 |80,490 |- |6. |1999 |6 |472,350 |78,725 |- |7. |1996 |6 |465,200 |77,533 |- |8. |1994 |5 |382,663 |76,533 |- |9. |1995 |6 |447,950 |74,658 |- |10. |1997 |5 |372,001 |74,400 |} ===Stadium's Top 10 Crowds=== {| border="1" cellpadding="5" !No. !Attendance !Year !Opponent |- |1. |84,336 |2003 |University of Miami |- |2. |84,106 |2002 |University of Notre Dame |- |3. |83,938 |2002 |University of Florida |- |4. |83,854 |2003 |North Carolina State University |- |5. |83,294 |2003 |Colorado University |- |6. |83,042 |2000 |University of Florida |- |7. |82,885 |2003 |University of Maryland, College Park |- |8. |82,836 |2001 |University of Miami |- |9. |82,565 |2001 |University of Miami |- |10. |82,514 |2000 |Clemson University |} College football venues Florida sports Doak Campbell StadiumI disagree – the field is the field, the stadium is the stadium, no? User:TrbleClef 05:36, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) No, the field and stadium as a whole take on a new name once you name the field. Just like at the Univeristy of Florida's "Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field", and Georgia Tech's "Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field". User:AriGold 12:25, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) :I would still say the field is a distinct entity. It doesn't appear on any signs either, for what that's worth. ::Wrong. I guess you didn't go to the stadium much. There is a giant garnet sign in the stadium, with gold lettering that reads "Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium". Here's a picture, http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/fsu/galleries/fsu_pic_121004-122304/dsc_0062-lg.jpg And Here's something else... at FSU's official athletic website, under a list of all university sports facilities, it reads "Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium". See: http://seminoles.collegesports.com/facilities/fsu-facilities.html Considering the sign IN THE STADIUM and the schools website both now refer to it as "Bobby Bowden Frield...", I think this is pretty clear. User:AriGold 16:29, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Or shouldn't it be called The University Center, The School of Motion Picture, Television and Recording Arts, The University Center Club, Department of Hospitality Administration, College of Social Work, Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium....? Not to be too unreasonable. User:TrbleClef 14:19, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::No, the field was named by the Florida Legislature, in Senate Bill 2316 in the 2000 Session, "Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium", not "The University Center, The School of Motion Picture, Television and Recording Arts, The University Center Club, Department of Hospitality Administration, College of Social Work, Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium". User:AriGold 16:29, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) See other meanings of words starting from letter: DDA | DB | DC | DE | DF | DG | DH | DI | DJ | DK | DL | DM | DN | DO | DP | DR | DS | DT | DU | DW | DX | DY | DZ |Words begining with Doak_Campbell_Stadium: Doak_Campbell_Stadium Doak_Campbell_Stadium
