The FSU Sod Cemetery has added a new fan-friendly feature for 2021 season. Fans and visitors can now “Press a Button” on the Cemetery fence 24/7 and hear a brief history of the Sod Game Tradition, including music and historic game radio clips created by Seminole Productions.
On Gamedays, a longer version with music and comments from legendary players like Charlie Ward and Marvin Jones, who brought home the Victory Sod, as well as Gene Deckerhoff’s radio play calls, will be on a running sound loop for fans to enjoy.
“ We hope that fans will visit the Cemetery and enjoy this with friends. On Sunday, the Cemetery will feature blue and gold flowers placed beside the four bronze Sod markers honoring Sod Victories over the visiting Fighting Irish”.
The Sod Game Tradition is in its 63rd season. The Cemetery was founded by FSU Dean Coyle Moore in 1962 following the Seminoles’ 18-0 upset win at Georgia in Athens. Before Dean Moore’s passing on 1989, he passed on the Tradition Keeper duties to Tallahasse attorney Doug Mannheimer.
