The State of Florida will be spotlighted this weekend for one of the biggest college football games of the year.

Football fans are packing Tallahassee for one of the biggest college games of the season.

“Oh, it’s huge,” said Elliot Waterbury, FSU Senior. “Miami is always a big rivalry.”

Undefeated in-state rivals Florida State and Miami are meeting for more than bragging rights, a national title could be at stake this year. The hype surrounding the game is bringing people to Florida from all over the country – along with millions of dollars.

“We’ve been traveling for the last ten years with them and this is a great rivalry,” said Tom Parry, who traveled from Pennsylvania to watch the game.

Police will be busy. This game traditionally has the highest number of ejections, and one of the highest numbers of people arrested.

“When you get that many people packed into such an emotional atmosphere, sometimes people go a little too far,” said James Russell, FSU PD Deputy Chief of Police.

FSU is expecting 4-million dollars in ticket sales alone.

But, the game is expected to be a win-win for the entire state. ”Whether the game is here in Tallahassee or Miami or wherever its being hosted in Florida it will have a impact on the bottom line of the state’s economy,” said Carol Dover, CEO of the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association.

With millions coming into the state economy – FSU athletic director Stan Wilcox says the whole economic impact of the game will not felt until after it ends.

“For FSU – just from an advertising, just from notoriety perspective, you can’t even quantify it,” said Wilcox.

Hotels have been sold out for weeks.

If you’re trying to get tickets to the game, you’re out of luck – because the game is sold out.
