This parking is a JOKE. Who can I call?
Aug 4, 2016, 10:30 AM

I've always, ALWAYS had my two Avenue of Champion spots together, but this year it seems that the administration has decided that I should be parking between two cars for my personal space, and halfway down the avenue for my client space.
This is insane....so not only do I not have enough room for the caterer to set up his spread behind my Rover, but now my clients have to walk 50 yards just to get to my spot?
Is there some sort of arbitration procedure I can enter into?

about and stand in the shade of the North upper deck, please just keep a 10 foot radius around my spot(s).
Also, I still think we should put electrified railing along the top of the upper deck, to keep UDP kids from dumping drinks on my vehicle.

~85,000 strong, but does Clemson want to associate with some of the chaff any longer?
Pushing away some of the undesirables would mean shorter lines at Fan Day as well, raising the enjoyment level for those that remain - you know, the high rollers that foot the bill.
There's a lot of good in parting ways with the unwanted.

I mean, how many $1 cheeseburgers does McDonalds have to move to make the same money as 5 Guys?
I don't want Fan Day to become elitist, but I think a $250 entry fee would eliminate some of the bandwagon jumpers, and they could close it early and offer a Heisman level and above donor's reception in the evening so we could bring our kids to get autographs without all the heat and lines.

I'd go to the state or county fair.
Listen, I'm sure these are good, church going folk that pay their fair share of taxes. Truth is you probably haven't been in their tax bracket since middle school and at the end of the day when you're adding things up, their business is more trouble than it's worth and opens Clemson up to undue risk.
If Drad hasn't seen your forward-thinking ideas, it's high time he did.

Aug 4, 2016, 12:22 PM

it's really not, and is very inclusive.
Part B of this plan would involve re-opening the Astro theater downtown, and doing a live feed to the game for fans who can't afford tickets to Death Valley anymore....the best part, tickets would only be $10. So it's just like game day, in Clemson, surrounded by fellow fans, for LESS.
This really is a win-win.

I got FED up with them last year when I couldn't get my spot aligned with my lower south deck entrace portal. I had ONE SIMPLE request and that was for them to rotate the stadium 354 degrees. But noooooo. Wouldn't do it.
So I gave up my AOC spot. Heck with 'em. Donated all that money to CU Equestrian and requested them to add a donkey to their fleet of animals. Now I'll just pull my yacht up to a private dock behind Esso and get a ride on horesback to the stadium while the mule totes my supplies to the AOC.
I'll see you at the games this year again, Obed. Mind bringing a few extra chairs? As always I'll bring the Strawbaritas for your wife and the Kobe steaks for the group. Still confirming but I think my Sushi chef will be on retainer again this year for the group.
Go Tigers!

If someone snaked your reserved Handicap spot at Ryans you'd be upset too yes? Now imagine if you had no legs AND paid a lot of money for that spot?
