Syracuse Yankee on my way down!!!


Oct 19, 2016, 11:53 AM

Hey guys, just got my tickets for the Cuse game. Can't wait to experience your town, stadium, and fans. I'm bringing my 11 year old with me. Everyone up here is a little more excited after our Va Tech win Saturday. Don't worry, we know our place. lol.

Question: I may have a parking pass for "Brooks Center Lot" on I think Cherry Rd. Its right next to Lot 23. How far a walk to the stadium from there approx?

Thanks. Cant' wait to get down there.

Just like to make waves and between things going well and a bye week coming up, they're bored.

Glad you're coming down to enjoy the game. One of the problems with these big conferences is that the schools' fans only meet on the internet, which probably skews perceptions. Should be a great time. Hope you enjoy it.

I think you will find a game day in Clemson to be quite an experience. Enjoy the trip and the great memory shared with your son.

I'll caution you, though, you may gain a 'Tiger Fan' after he experiences our Tigers (and fans) in Death Valley.

Get in the stadium 30 mins early and be in your seat 20mins before kickoff. Lots of great folks down here.. be respectful and you'll get the southern hospitality treatment.

a few requests. When you get back home, tell everyone you know that the South was just horrible....tell them you hope you never go back, and you definitely don't want to move here, and they shouldn't either.

Also, if you could just throw in a story about going to the SC coast and how it was also filthy and terrible and they should never vacation here, that would be appreciated.

In return for these things, we'll show you a good time here and I'll forgive you for the $1000 I wasted on seeing us get smoked by Donovan McNabb in the Gator Bowl.

Oct 19, 2016, 2:02 PM

My son went to SUNY Fredonia and got a grad assistantship for Masters and PHD in Math from Clemson(he left before PHD). I have been attending a home game every year since he started in 2011. There is nothing in the north to compare to a game weekend at Clemson. Been to games at ND, Pitt, Penn State, Navy, Cuse last year to see Clemson, and others, Bills, Browns, Steelers. Clemson best by far.
I always get a Brooks pass and my 5 year old granddaughter makes the walk to the stadium easily. We left Brooks at 11 for the 12 kickoff against NC state and had plenty of time to see pregame stuff. Don't miss the team running down the hill.
Set up a nice tailgate and don't be in a hurry to leave after the game. We tailgate before and after the game. Smoking Pig for BBQ makes Dinosaur a distant 10th. Have not had better brisket anywhere and I seek out BBQ when I travel. Let me know if you want more from a Southern Tier New York Clemson University fan (but not a true fan because I am not an alumnus in the spirit of today's discussions).

coming? If Friday - go there foe EARLY supper - always a huge crowd. But worth it as your child will soak up some true Southern Culture!
Is this your 1st trip to Clemson? Hospitality is real nice. On Saturday before the game - I would suggest getting in the stadium 45 minutes before kickoff. There's a lot to see if it's not swarming with incoming fans. We have IMO the VERY best pregame show. Your child (boy or girl?) will enjoy seeing the players warm up & do their locked arm in arm thing. JUST HOPE Y'ALL HAVE FUN!!

Oct 31, 2016, 11:04 AM

Clemson has a VERY STRONG military tradition; used to be named Clemson A&M, and the stadium official name is Memorial Stadium, honoring all those who have fallen defending this great nation.
There will be military equipment displayed on Bowman Field that kids (and grown ups) enjoy.
PLEASE plan on remaining in your seats at half time. We always have an excellent and emotional presentation. If you are a veteran, you are welcome to join all veterans on the field for the half time presentation.
OBTW, usually the Tigers wear all purple uniforms this day to honor the Purple Heart recipients, and you may see a lot of Tiger Nation wearing purple also.
