Death Valley


Sep 13, 2018, 5:13 PM

Having now been to so many stadiums around the country in the past few years, I feel it's time for some improvements in Death Valley. I'm not suggesting throwing a half a billion at it the way A&M did (though their results are definitely first class). It is time to invest a few million for some upgrades. Things that come to mind are new scoreboard (keep the tail), new videotron, add escalators, enclose the sides, etc. I realize this would take away seats but since it's rarely jammed full anyway - bucket seats might be a nice improvement. Add wi-fi strong enough for 50-60,000 users. I'm sure there are a lot more things....

I don't mean for this to be controversial or to even argue over the specifics I listed. They are just ideas. The fact is at most schools football attendance is down and dropping. We haven't experienced that but our rankings have kept our attendance up. We do have to look to the future though and make sure our stadium has the right things to keep folks coming back.

It just needs some all around sprucing up to give it a more current feel.

Rising ticket prices justify a decent seat.

There is something to be said for a nice seat, that isn't going to be reduced by a fat person on either side of you. Arm rests with drink holders are nice too, since spilled sodas from the person a row or two above you aren't exactly fun either.

Wifi? They've already got signal boosters and I've noticed a huge increase in signal this season.

Plus, why would we want every single person on wifi the whole game. If you want to do that, stay home.

Sep 13, 2018, 5:22 PM

Well several schools have put in enhanced wi-fi systems to encourage especially younger people to come to the games. If you're asking me personally, I don't understand it but there are people who study these things so I'm just going off that. I believe Mississippi State just did it.

Add Jess Neely, a HOF coach who took us to our first bowl game. Dabo would be added obviously.

Also a weekend like this is exactly why the oculus was built, just in case the GPS gets knocked out.

Bet A&M didn't think of this first.

I agree with the scoreboard and videotron.

Agreed


Sep 13, 2018, 8:28 PM

After seeing UT austin and Kyle field dv needs modernized a tad. If best is standard we need to step up on our most prized athletic structure.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I agree. We're a top football program and a great school.


Sep 13, 2018, 8:35 PM

Our stadium should look and feel a bit more polished. It's not bad now, but it isn't super impressive either. I agree with new scoreboard, new video screens, and bucket seats. Changing the seating would reduce capacity a lot, so it might mean adding additional seating to compensate for larger seats. I'd be for it though.

I would also like to see more variety in food options. Nothing wrong with popcorn, hot dogs, and fries, but I think it would be fun to have more area restaurants have setups in the concession area to offer a wider variety including some healthier, higher quality options.

I think football will always be popular at Clemson, but with all of the games on TV in HD, ticket prices going up quickly, and more interests and distractions to potentially keep people from going to games, upgrades are needed.

We have played in numerous nfl stadiums with chair back seating and the atmosphere is fine. I’m not sure why so many don’t like the idea. Heck half the stadium is rented seat backs anyway. I totally agree for $60-$100 per seat we need a new scoreboard, chair backs, updated concourses and local restaurants serving bbq etc.

Sep 14, 2018, 8:03 AM

Be careful what you wish for because if all these additions are made, our $60-$100 tickets will morph into $100-$150 tickets.
