Construction at Doak Campbell Stadium the next few years means Florida State administrators are holding discussions to play the 2016 spring football game outside of Tallahassee.

FSU athletics director Stan Wilcox said a deal is not in place yet but the game will be played in Florida.

“We would like to make it so that we can get where a lot of our fans will be,” Wilcox said. “Trying to make it also so that, from an expense perspective, we don’t have to expend as much and can make some money off it. So we can cover our expenses and maybe make some money.”

Wilcox didn’t disclose which cities were being considered, but Orlando and Jacksonville are two logical options. The Seminoles will open the 2016 season against Mississippi in Orlando on Labor Day, and a spring game at the Citrus Bowl could be used as a tie in to the FSU-Ole Miss game.

FSU would earn a guaranteed check for playing the neutral-site spring game, which is typically scheduled on or around the second Saturday in April. There are added costs to FSU for travel, hotels and meals. But FSU could still generate some revenue from the deal while also playing the spring game close to large alumni bases.

School administrators have previously said that construction at Doak Campbell will take place in the offseason, having no effect on the home football schedule in 2015.

The last FSU spring game that was held away from Doak Campbell was in 2004. That game was played at Capital Stadium/Gene Cox Stadium in Tallahassee.
