Fan Fest Roll Call

[methodtoll]

Who is all going??? 

I know the turnout may not be as big since it is not in Charlotte this year but knowing I am only 45 minutes from the campus, I just knew I had to go to it, not just for me but it will be my 4 year old son's first big football experience so it's pretty exciting for him too!

That said, if you are planning on making the trip down to Clemson from Charlotte, definitely check out Tiger Town Tavern... Pretty well known spot in downtown Clemson. If you are eying places to eat, your best bet is heading over towards Anderson (although Clemson has gotten a lot better with variety since I lived over there a long time ago.) or head down 123 towards Seneca and there are several places over there too (just not as big as Anderson.) 

Hope that helps some folks out that are not familiar with the area... Maybe others can chime in too and hope to see some of y'all there!

Or go to Greenville. Light years better than Clemson.

True... But I was thinking what was closest to the stadium to make things more convenient.

We were gonna go, but money is crazy tight and we've got a lot of travel planned for the holiday season so we had to sacrifice Fan Fest T_T

They gotta get better before folks are lining up to see ‘em practice.  It is what it is, and it ain’t been good for a long time.  My kid is 13 and has no memories of this team winning.  He was 6 the last time we fielded a decent team.

Got tix, still deciding whether to go our not

[GamecockSmitty4]

Wouldn’t be caught dead in that crappy place. Last time I was there was out of respect for a friend that was a student there who died in a hazing incident. I wrongly assumed they would acknowledge him at a bare minimum. They did nothing and have barely acknowledged his existence since.

I hope parking won't be a pain... I heard there will be some road closures so just a heads up for anyone coming.

I have been debating,  was strongly considering this past weekend but that has changed to doubtful. I just think a 2 hr ride there and 2hr ride back to the charlotte area isnt worth it. They have a 11am practice on Saturday, imma just Try to make that.

Horrible Idea on Teppers part lol. Clemson is basically Georgia and they can barely get 1-2k out in Charlotte for a free practice

I am curious about turnout in general. Have they been able to get more than a 50-60 person headcount any day so far?

Dunno, they had reserved online tickets, and then most of those people didn't show up after the first couple days so then they said people could walk up day of for tickets but the stands still looked pretty empty. Feels like more people would have shown up to Spartanburg out of tradition

It's also closer to, IDK....the actual fanbase?

I have worked in Clemson a bunch over the years. Never seen or met a Panthers fan in almost 20 years of going there.

Sounds about right. The Greenville sports stores primarily carry college merch, from SC to UGA

Have to get into NC before I see Panthers gear for sale
