Children can wear their Halloween costumes and will be introduced at halftime just like the FSU players. Additionally, several raffles will take place with proceeds going to benefit Angels of Action. Kids will have an opportunity to win a variety of special activites such as serving as the guest trainer, guest equipment manager, an opportunity to run on the field with head coach Jeff Pierce, take part in the coin toss, serve as a water boy, be a guest coach in warmups, be interviewed on the radio and more.
