Tallahassee and FAMU Police Departments Offer Tips for a Safe, Enjoyable Football Game Day Experience

September 12, 2025

The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) and Florida A&M University (FAMU) Police Department have been preparing for a safe and enjoyable FAMU football game day experience. Traffic patterns will shift around Bragg Stadium during home football games, which can impact the surrounding areas. TPD will coordinate traffic control before and after the game, and road closures will begin two hours before the game.

Traffic will be blocked at the following locations:

• Althea Gibson Way and Robert & Trudie Perkins Way
• Perry Street and Robert & Trudie Perkins Way

Boosters will be allowed south of both of the above road closures.

• Perry Street and Dr. Carolyn Ryals Way (formerly Okaloosa Street) - There will be no northbound traffic.
• Althea Gibson Way and Dr. Carolyn Ryals Way 

Fans are encouraged to arrive early and plan for some delays. Please follow the directions of law enforcement while traveling to and from the game.

FAMU and FSU both have a home games on Oct. 11 and Nov. 1. Anticipate heavier traffic around both campuses and the downtown area.

A separate advisory will be released with specific information pertaining to FAMU Homecoming.
