UNC and Wake Block Ticket Requests

FSU has finally made the away game tickets available for order. The Triangle Seminole Club will be purchasing blocks of tickets for the UNC and Wake Forest games so that you can sit with local Nole fans.

FSU vs. UNC at Chapel Hill October 22nd Thursday night 7:30pm $50 + $2 service charge
FSU vs. Wake Forest in Winston Salem November 14th TBD $45 + $2 service charge

Please read our rules and regulations carefully before requesting tickets to make this process as smooth as possible. Please comply with these VERY IMPORTANT directions.

We will be charging a $2 per ticket service fee which will help fund the clubs efforts and cover the club’s risk for people who don’t pay for their tickets which unfortunately happens. FSU is charging a $10 fee per order so you will likely save money by ordering through the club. Ex. UNC will be $52 per ticket bought through the club.
Payment will be expected once the club’s order is confirmed since I personally front the thousands of dollars to buy all these tickets at once. Payment should be made to Triangle Seminole Club. We will alert you once the tickets have been purchased.

Please let me know how many tickets you would like and for what games by June 30th. You will be responsible to pay for all the tickets you request as of June 30th. We will do our best to help you sell extras or get more if you need them at a later date but the club will not buy them back from you because we often get stuck with tickets at the last second that we lose money on.

We will be hosting a Pre Game tailgate event for UNC and be meeting up with the Triad and Charlotte clubs for the Wake Game.

Requests due by June 30th!

Annual Football Kickoff Picnic Aug. 30th

The Triangle Seminole Club’s Annual Kickoff Picnic will be on Sunday August 30th from 12-3PM at Lake Crabtree Park’s Beech Shelter. We’ll be serving BBQ and all the fixings along with chicken nuggets for the kids. Sweet tea and Water will also be available. Food and Drinks are FREE!

We will have a guest speaker from Warchant.com. Longtime FSU beat writer, Bob Thomas, will be joining us to talk about the upcoming football season, recruiting and other FSU sports. He’s been covering the Noles for over 20 years and certainly has a lot of stories to share about Coach Bowden.
There will be a lot of great Noles prizes raffled off, silent auctions for Football Tickets and other great gifts, Club T shirts for sale. We have even better raffle prizes this year. If you have a service(business opportunity) or something to donate to our silent auction please let me know. This is great opportunity to mingle and talk FSU football with local Nole Fans.
The location is the same as last year at Crabtree Park’s Beech Shelter. Lake Crabtree County Park offers visitors a variety of exciting opportunities for outdoor recreation. Located on a 215-acre site adjacent to a 520-acre flood control lake, some of the park’s main attractions include fishing, boating, hiking, group and individual picnicking, mountain biking and nature study. There is a playground for the kids to enjoy right next to our picnic area.

ACC Baseball Tournament and TSC Events

The Event will be held Tuesday May 19th at 7pm. The first 10 kids to attend will recieve a 2009 FSU Baseball Poster that can be used next week to collect autographs from players and coaches during the Tournament.

Apparently for those using blackberry’s and other email systems the title of the email is difficult to see which is where I put the date of the event so I wanted to make sure everyone knew with this followup email.

The ACC Baseball Tournament comes to town next week and the TSC will be hosting a get together at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham near the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in the American Tobbaco complex which is located at 324 Blackwell St.  We will have Tom Block, the play by play announcer for the Baseball team and possibly a baseball coach (depending on the practice schedule) joining us at 7pm to give us a rundown of the Baseball team and preview of their chances in the tournament. The Noles should enter the tournament as the #1 or #2 seed. Final seeds will be announced Sunday. The TSC has reserved a room and guranteed the facility a $350 minimum so please show up (Eat, drink, etc) and get a sneak preview of the ACC Baseball Tournament.

Great Week for the Noles!!

Greeting Nole Fans!

In case you haven’t been paying attention, it’s been a great week for the football and basketball teams. The football coaches landed the #6 recruiting class in the country this week. The class is loaded with talented skill players, linemen, defensive backs and the #1 kicker in the country. You can find out more about these recruits from the coaches themselves at http://seminoles.cstv.com/  It’s now on page 4 of the headlines. The signing day spectacular is a must listen!

The Basketball team is now 18-5 and 5-3 in conference after coming back from a 19 point deficit in the 2nd half at Clemson last night to win. The Noles play UVA this Tuesday as they look to take another step toward earning an NCAA Tournament bid.

UPCOMING CLUB EVENTS:
Career Networking Mixer- TBA sometime in March
ACC Baseball Tournament in Durham, NC- May 20-24
Annual Kickoff Picnic- Aug. 09
UNC football game this fall-date and time TBA. The Club will be purchasing a block of tickets again this year so you won’t need to order them from FSU.
