Ok, 2nd BEST atmosphere or entrance in college football?
Oct 5, 2022, 11:15 AM

I looked at the Twitter comments on the Clemson Football post about Clemson being the best atmosphere in college sports - comments that probably came from people who have never been to a game here and only seen it on TV - and I can get that. It's 10x better in person than on TV, especially our entrance. TV just can't capture it.
So, that having been said, I think we all agree that Clemson has the best entrance and atmosphere in college football. So who do you think competes for the next best entrance and/or atmosphere?
They suck this year, but I still think Va Tech's "Enter Sandman" entrance is really cool. But it's all downhill for them once they hit kickoff.
Florida State has a pretty amazing atmosphere - when they're good and packing it out. As much as I hate "the chop" - it's kinda cool seeing and hearing it in person at their stadium. Just get tired of hearing it every 45 seconds! Osceola and Renegade riding out to stick the flaming spear in the 50 is pretty cool, though, like Brett said, kinda short compared to the whole "The Hill" experience. I've always thought that was a great entrance and atmosphere.
Penn State's "White Out" is really cool. Never been there, but have seen it on TV and it looks like an incredible atmosphere.
Maybe Texas A&M? I haven't been to a game there, either, but heard great things about it from the Clemson folks who went there when we last played. That's a pretty incredible environment, I think.
UT's checkerboard stands and gigantic stadium are cool, and I've never been to a game there, but I don't know that their atmosphere is any better for any big team in a big stadium when they're in a big game - hard for any atmosphere to not be good in those circumstances.

Running through the fire extinguishers at the Roach is a close second.

Not many schools have a trans mascot - USuC is definitely a trend-setter with that!

I dont even remember what the entrance was at A&M (too many beers) but I do remember the atmosphere being incredible. Super loud. Plus had no negative experiences with their fans. Would highly recommend going to a game there if you get the chance.

Yes it is. Nothing negative at A$M? Wow, he’s either an idiot, or deaf, maybe even both.

I’ve got a few hundred in my pockets that’s all yours and all you have to do is go to an Aggie game in a burnt orange shirt on and then talk to me about negative even though we don’t even play those a-holes.
Let me know if you want more, but you obviously don’t understand what you’re saying

ESPN camera filters out all of the smoke.
No entrance tops Clemson's. Not at all.
If you even think so, you have not seen a night game at Clemson when the firework smoke settles across the field.

As far as I'm concerned you can sling em' all around in a sock and whichever comes out first is as good but no better than the rest.
Our entrance is inimitable.

Strictly from a television perspective FSU has the next best entrance. The dotting of the I at Ohio State is the most boring and overrated.

Clemson's entrance begins BEFORE they are in the stadium. The bus ride is kind of cool, with fans outside cheering the Tigers on and the fans inside Death Valley anticipating the arrival of the buses just outside The Hill.

There are quite a few good ones in the SEC

A&M and LSU are probably the best, but any of Auburn, Bama, Florida, Tenn, Georgia, and even SCar can get rocking when their teams are good.
I think the best in the country is probably a big night game at Penn State. Ohio State is good - the Horseshoe is a really nice looking stadium. Wisconsin can be pretty great with Jump Around. Michigan is disappointing because, like ND, the big bowls don't hold noise well.
Oregon used to have a really good atmosphere. Utah is also a good one and a very tough place to play in general with the elevation. Washington is just beautiful - probably the best view from the stands of any stadium in the US.
Nothing really stands out to me in the Big XII. Alot of solid ones, but nothing exceptional that comes to mind.

You’re full of it. You really should get out more before making declarations that suck. Ask Alabama about environments and the craziest they’ve seen lately

VT on Thursday night especially. As a Clemson fan I did not want to be there facing the Hokies on a Thursday. That's the only time I felt that way. Of course that's when Beamer was rolling. Now , not so much

Atmosphere I would say Penn state or lsu when lsu is having a good year. But entrance I don’t know. Oklahoma, southern cal and FSU all have pretty cool entrances. Went to the auburn game a couple of years ago, the eagle was cool. But I give a nod to FSU.

Chief Osceola on the horse with the flaming spear, while war chant fills the stadium, is quite the spectacle.
I'd put Colorado's third. The buffalo is just really cool.
I've always thought Virginia Tech's Enter Sandman is stupid. Anyone can play a popular song and cheer while the team runs out.
