Re: Most comparable football experience to Clemson?

LSU is probably the best I have been to, and compares to (if not better). I’ve heard Bama and Ole Miss compare, but haven’t been to either. I’ve been to an all the current ACC schools and some BIG and SEC. Every tailgate fan showing has been pretty good to be honest, except BC. They had a good scene right around the stadium, but not much overall. Pitt had a surprisingly great atmosphere. Louisville was fun, especially if you go on a day when Churchill downs is running. Miami fans are bad ( at least since the 80s) and that stadium is not in a great spot so doesn’t have a great college atmosphere. Michigan was really fun, but not better than Clemson. Haven’t been to Ohio State, but assume that’s fun. Would imagine Weat Virginia being solid. A lot of places are different and have pride in their schools. It’s fun to see that joy across the country. Looking forward to going to different campuses in the future.

I’ve been to quite a few stadiums. Notre Dame was incredible. Just because of the iconic scenery and sights. The fan base was pretty rough on opposing teams.

South Carolina makes me laugh. Parking at some random industrial warehouse with a single port-a-John is just sad. The absolutely stunningly gorgeous women are few and far between. Trailer park comes to mind. The worst hospitality of any fan base other than Ohio State (neutral site).

LSU seems eerily familiar just as Auburn does. These three programs have borrowed, stolen, or straight copied from one another. Auburn was a consultant for our football program and mascot. LSU stole our Death Valley after they beat us one year. Fan base was pretty receptive to opposing teams fans.

UGA was weird. A dry county and dry campus when I visited. Great atmosphere with rude fan base. Stadium is pretty nice.

There’s nowhere like game day at Death Valley. I’ve never seen such hospitality when it comes to opposing fans. I couldn’t tell you how many beers and meals I have shared with opposing fan bases. They always remarked that they can never wait to get back to Death Valley because the fans are so friendly. We might be enemies during the game, but, we are all family in the Valley. From the Tiger walk to strolling through Tigerama to strolling downtown or popping into another Clemson Family Tailgate, the experience is hard to beat. Then, 85,000 of my closest friends scream our heads off while our boys rub Howard’s Rock and run down the hill. Although I miss the balloon launch very much. Clemson has the most beautiful women in all the land. That’s what they mean when they say there’s something special in those hills.
