As a 28-year tradition, FSU Panama City students wave from the 50-yard line to more than 50,000 fans
Students, alumni, and the student government council of the FSU-Panama City Campus banded together in Tallahassee, Florida this past Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium to uphold a 28-year Homecoming pre-game tradition and to watch the FSU Seminoles take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Before the game, the FSU Panama City group gathered at the renowned statue of Chief Osceola at the entrance of the stadium. After entering the gates together, the student government council members departed to be escorted onto the field for their appearance in the pre-game show.
“Panama City pride” was said to fill the hearts of those students and alumni who watched as the student government council members carried a lighted torch and campus banner across the field.

Several members of the council described the moment as “unforgettable” as they were met by the eyes of nearly 50,000 fans, flashing lights of photographers, roar of the announcer and glimpse of being on one of the nation’s largest college football stadium screens.
FSU led the Homecoming game to victory over Wake Forest, 17-6.
