They used to do that when the groups were small, but it's gotten so big that they now hold it in Littlejohn. My wife used to go every year but she said the experience in Littlejohn was so watered down, it wasn't worth it.

Absolutely you can get a tour of the football facility but will cost you a $2MM gift to the university

May even get your name on a bathroom stall for that kind of donation.

I was invited to a tour last year, and believe me, it was special. So different than the dark ages when I was on the team. I can see why they wouldn't do tours very often, or at all, because there is much to take away from just how we do it, but if you ever got the chance, take it. I dare say that there are so many facilities that are great, but ours is at the top of the list. In fact, one of the folks on our tour said our facilities are even better than AL, and I'm sure theirs is fabulous, too.

by the general public than it is now.
When it first opened it was simple to get in the parking lot and at the very least enter the "atrium"....the front part w/ the hill/slide, uniform combos, ring displays, national title trophy at the time, etc..... If the right people were at the front desk they'd invite you on an informal tour.
NOW.........it's like trying to enter/tour The White House.

Have you seen some of the bandwagon fans we have? Hopefully this past season took care of most of them.

If you are an IPTAY donor then talk to your rep. He or she may be able to get you in for a short visit.

Some years back I had the 2 grand boys and wife on campus. Parked behind the stadium for Andrew to try out his new bike. Tired of that we walked to the stadium and entered through an open gate. Walked up into the stands and sat on the40 yd line for a rest.
Couple of years later i took the same boys to Furman and parked near the football stadium. Took our football and soccer ball and walked in the side gate of the football stadium. Played soccer for a while and then tried to kick field goals.
No problem at either place either time.
