Embarrassing Clemson crowd in PHX.

It's unfortunate this game has to be held in Arizona. Not blaming anyone. Very expensive especially 2 years in a row.
That's a lot to ask for either fanbase honestly.

OSU could fill most venues anywhere in the US without traveling a huge fan base. None of them want to live in Ohio so they move all across the country.

Well buckeyes have it worse if they win.

Because then they have to fly to Tampa whereas we have an easy drive.
Obviously they have many more alumni to pull from.
Just sucks to be playing a road game. We usually aren't outnumbered to this degree in bowl games.

Of course. Just saying it's very unusual for us to be

this outnumbered at a bowl game.
I can't think of one off the top of my head. Maybe the 1st music city against Kentucky?

We did pretty well on the road with our fans outnumbered by a lot this year.

We had to travel to Orlando for the ACC Championship game, plus this game, plus next week if we win. That's a lot to ask and a lot of $$. OSU didn't have to travel to a conference championship game, plus they have a much larger national fan presence.

We are rarely if ever this outnumbered.
It is what it is.

3rd biggest game in Clemson history.
Arguably. But certainly a big one.

I am here and there are 8 in my party. I am pleased to see more Orange here than I expected. Sure there are more OSU but everything considered we are being represented well! Go Tigers!!

Embarrassing? Don't think so. Plenty of Clemson fans here.

Also they had a week more to plan for the trip we had to wait until after the ACCCG and then like someone said they are a bigger school with more alumni. I spent close to 1400 to go to ACCCG and figured it would cost more than that to go to Natty if we are in it so I had to make a choice. I think because of the travel expenses they should move these playoff games to the home field of the highest seed.

Bama fans would have been much less enthusiastic about a trip to Phoenix than they have been by having both SEC and bowl game in their own back yard.
