Did anyone notice the goal posts in Doak Campbell stadium? I thought Tiger Stadium was the only stadium with the old "H" style goal posts.

Here is a pretty good article on the goal posts:

UWIRE | Football: LSU boasts unique ?H-style? goal posts

Florida State’s “H-style” goal posts were recently installed on Bobby Bowden Field in Doak Campbell Stadium in 2002 to honor former coach William E. “Bill” Peterson.

Rob Wilson, Florida State’s associate athletics director of communications, said “Coach Pete,” as the players used to call him, led the Seminoles through the goal posts every game.

“We changed [the goal posts] in 2002 in tribute to Bill Peterson, who was a football coach here from 1960-1970,” Wilson said. “We call them Pete’s posts.”

Thanks for the info.

I always assumed LSU was the only stadium with the "H" posts.

I believe there are three stadiums in the country and of course I can only name the two that are listed. I also believe you may have to get special permission from the NCAA to be able to use them. (Probably wrong on that).

Fun fact. Tiger Stadium is only 119 yards long, not 120.
