Now's the time for you give advice on improvements to D.V.

LETTER FROM DAN RADAKOVICH Dear Clemson Family,
The 2018 home football season was one full of incredible moments and memories and we thank you for your support of our student-athletes, including our seniors who became the winningest class in ACC history on Senior Day this year. The entire Clemson community takes great pride in making gamedays memorable and we want to always put forth our best effort to make the “Clemson Experience” a truly special one unlike any other in the country.
Towards that end, we will be seeking your feedback as the athletic department and IPTAY consider improvements to Memorial Stadium. We have partnered with CSL International, a sports facility planning and advisory firm located in Frisco, Texas, to conduct a market study to determine the support for potential improvements to Memorial Stadium.
At this point, no decisions have been made regarding future action but your input is crucial in our on-going search for ways to continue to meet both our “Best Is the Standard” approach to our football program and your needs as a supporter of the program.
Being a proud member of the Clemson Family, your opinion is extremely valuable. You will be receiving an invitation to participate in the survey between December 5-7. Be sure to check your inbox and spam folder to ensure you receive the survey.
Thank you for your continued support! Your participation in the survey will provide valuable information to allow IPTAY and Clemson Athletics to provide the best game experience for our fans and student-athletes.
Dan Radakovich
Director of Athletics

Let the bands play college pep songs LIVE..
Nov 29, 2018, 6:45 PM
|
|
and cut out the piped in OR funky stuff!
These bands are about 700 muscuans strong and practiced many hours a week..and after the pre & half time shows they are relegated to short whiffs during plays.
I know, certain players like the funky loud stuff but remember majority of fans don’t seem to and they are the major $ supporters of Clemson football & IPTAY, imho.

I like the funk, and I will be 60 next month.

Most importantly, the students and players like the funk. What if in 1977 Tiger Band played music for the older fans. If that were the case, they would have been playing Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey big band tunes from the 1940’s..
It is also easier to interject 25 seconds of funk for the students and fans to start bouncing and going crazy on a critical 3rd down for our defense. That is hard for the band to pull off, easy work for a DJ.

I’m only 54 and I remember when we watched and paid attention to the game so we knew when a big 3rd down was coming up and we got extra loud without music telling us to. Heck I even did it on the road at Tech this year just to prove I could pay attention in somebody else’s stadium. Now get off my lawn!

Major enhancement to the east end zone with a much larger replay screen and some luxury suites. Keep team entrance in same place but replace hill with a tunnel under the luxury suites and replay screen.

Supplement the student attendance on the hill with some affordable general admission tickets to ensure the hill is always full for every single game. Young families who may not be able to attend will be able to, on the famous hill. This will help expand the base of Tiger fans for the next generation.
And fix that weird bottleneck issue which is preventing the left side of the hill from being full when the players arrive to run down the hill. That really shouldn’t be so complicated.

I'd like to designate a section of The Hill for kids to slide on cardboard boxes during games - like the good ol' days before we filled in the corners of the west endzone. It would enhance the overall 'family' experience we're looking for.

Speaking of zip, that's a great idea - zip lines that run from the top of each upper deck to the bottom of the other. Kids can ride across during games, then climb the stairs and ride back. Even more 'family' fun than cardboard boxes on The Hill.

Put stands on the hill, leave the hill open in the middle for out standard entrance. Win. Win. Kids could slide down the hill( middle section) and due to more comfortable seating, the "hill" will always be full

Allow fans to go onto the field during the game. This waiting around until the game is over takes too long.

2) Giant, suspended disco ball over stadium for entrance during night games
3) My own, personal restroom
4) A canal to the lake so I can park my boat close to the stadium
5) Cash drop from helicopter after every game so ESPN can finally nail why we allow fans on to the field

Death Valley Improvements
Nov 29, 2018, 7:59 PM
|
|
1. Commit to use the video boards more often during games. The fans who buy tickets and sit in the Memorial Stadium should get as many replays as any fan who watches the games on TV.
2. Make radio broadcast available inside the stadium with a local boosted signal so that fans who want to hear play by play can do so.
3. Build several more restrooms inside the stadium and outside the stadium in the bigger parking lots.
4. Build more concession stands inside the stadium to serve fans faster.

Clean attended restroom facilities in the parking lots. More “places to go” in the stadium restrooms. Restrictions placed on scalpers outside stadium. Implement methods to identify and eliminate fake tickets. New larger video screen. Bring back balloons. Bonus IPTAY points for long time consecutive year membership.

-- Better microphone mix for the band. -- Most concessions in Atlanta have had luck going cheaper prices. Let's try that. -- Find a way to fill the hill like it was before. -- Let's add a new Championship banner on the side of the building -- Add another layer on west end zone if we need more seating

Figure out a way to get the hill back to the way it was several years ago. Full and rocking. People should not be able to sit down during the game with a beach towel like they are in the park, this isn’t wake forest or uva.
Larger video screen and scoreboard in general...need this sooner rather than later as we are way behind here compared to a lot of places. If we can’t, at least fix the tiger tail so it moves again. Could this really be that expensive of a fix?
Need something to replace the balloon portion of the hill entrance. Attended every game this season and something just seemed off and missing on the entrance without balloons. It just lacked some the magic and hype of years past imo. The fireworks behind the hill for the Duke and USuCk game helped some, but it is only really feasible for a night game and it was too far away to really make much of a difference.

Add 40,000 more seats to Death Valley.
Build Very lg. Pkg Garages close to stadium.
Add more RV Parking w/hookups.
Add more tailgating spaces.
Tailgating and parking can be further from stadium if enough shuttles are added and are kept running hours before, during and after game.
Have special game day undercover police targeting scalpers and fake ticket sellers. These can be "reserve" police officers of the Clemson University PD. https://www.thebalancecareers.com/police-auxiliary-and-reserve-programs-974454
More concessions and restrooms inside and outside of stadium. Have more brand name concessions such as Wendy's, Burger King, McD's, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, BBQ, Subway, Firehouse Subs. Kentucky Fried Chicken, etc.
Have Family night in Stadium on Friday night before Sat game w/family friendly activities.
Have concerts in stadium on Fri. night before game on Sat.

Upgrade the sound system. Had the opportunity to attend Alabama games a couple of times and their sound system is distributed around the stadium instead of blasting everything from one end of the field. It sounded great.
