The Falcons will be moving into a new home for the 2017 season and they’ll get some help from the college ranks breaking in their new digs.
Alabama and Florida State will play the first college football game at the new stadium on September 2 when they face off in the 10th Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game. It will be the fifth appearance for the Crimson Tide in the game — they’re 4-0 in their previous appearances — and Florida State’s first time opening the season under the banner of the chicken sandwich concern.
“The game with Alabama will be one of the highlights of the college football season,” Florida State Director of Athletics Stan Wilcox said in a statement.
