    River City Showdown A Sellout And Noles On Preseason ACC Team


    After expanding the stadium to maximum capacity last week for the Florida State versus Alabama game, the Gator Bowl Association announced today that the River City Showdown on Saturday, September 29, is a sellout with an expected crowd of over 85,000.

    "The Association is proud to bring this match-up to Jacksonville along with an expected record-setting attendance of more than 85,000," said Kelly Madden, 2007 Gator Bowl Association Chairman. The previous record attendance for Jacksonville Municipal Stadium was 84,753 set in the 2004 Florida vs Georgia game.

    Florida State had three players named to the Pre-Season All-ACC Football Team released Wednesday. The Seminoles were tied with Miami for the second-most selections on the team. The media attending the 2007 ACC Football Kickoff at Pinehurst voted on the squad.

    Wide receiver Greg Carr, defensive tackle Andre Fluellen and rover Myron Rolle were all named to the team. Rolle is one of only two sophomores to make the squad and the only second-year player on the defensive side of the ball.
