On August 19, 2026, Florida State University announced a new interactive attraction at Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) that lets travelers recreate one of the university’s most recognizable traditions: \u201cPlant the Spear.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new display is located inside the FSU Welcome Center at the airport. It features a 7-foot, hand-painted aluminum replica of FSU’s flaming spear, installed in artificial turf and positioned in front of a floor-to-ceiling image of Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n

That means travelers do not have to attend an FSU football game to recreate the iconic pose. They can step onto the turf, hold the replica spear and take photographs with the stadium backdrop. FSU is encouraging visitors to share their photos on social media using #PlantTheSpearTLH.<\/span><\/p>\n
