You can learn a lot about your team from warmups; and if you go down to the bottom of the stands you get to see the recruits up close, and just how incredibly big these players truly are.

How the #### am I supposed to protect my $2,000 worth of equipment? That's just not cool. Why not allow, but search?

Use a diaper bag. It will not only protect your gear, but it will also not draw the attention of possible thieves, unlike a big black and red or yellow bag with Nikon of Cannon on it.

My camera with lenses etc is well over $4k (and no I'm not a media person so press pass isn't an option). I don't think the diaper bag thing will work if you don't have little kids going along with it. I am very disappointed in this decision. Absolutely doesn't make sense to allow some women to drag their 3 cu-ft purses in but exclude a camera bag.

The orange seats bolted to stands are slightly wider than
Aug 21, 2013, 10:32 AM

the seat space.
Several of them in a row eventually cramps all the seats without them. Also the seat backs infringe on the knee room of the person behind them.
In short ... they suck!!
I noticed this the very first time they put them in.
If I had a vote, it would be to get rid of all seats with backs and to allow nothing more than a simple cushion for your butt if you need it.
Where do we vote???

And in my experience, people are very rude about you moving in on their space and making things crowded for them, when in actuality, it is their seatbacks causing a lot of the problems. They don't seem to see that.

kids that people bring and don't have a seat for. Pure child abuse when a parent brings a small child into those hot games and try to keep them cool and calm when they only want to sleep. Kids should have tickets and some of the nonsense would stop. Give me a fat #### who sits still and watches the game anyday!

OK, so, in the past (including last year) "cinch sacks" have been let through the gates, especially if they were for/on kids. I've been told in the past those don't qualify as backpacks or "carryall-type bags". Does Clemson have any guidance on this particular issue? Or any of our esteemed Tigernet founts of knowledge?

carry in place of a purse. I had one ticket taker tell me they weren't allowed because it was a backpack. I told him it was a purse. Finally I asked the Cop, and the Cop said it was a purse.
But, I think they need to define "backpack" vs "drawstring backsack" or something....

the coronal mass ejection hits that knocks out the national power grid, and we have not prepared for it.

partly because I dont take anything with me to the game other than my cell phone, and camera which I keep in my pockets. I understand people with kids getting upset at this, because I wouldnt want some rando event staff guy going through my diaper bag or stroller. How about we address the parking issues in most of the lots because those guys and women are out of control.

Because you maybe caring a mega ton nuclear device in large wallets, purses, camera bags, and pant pockets and such. I appreciate looking after our safety, but at times they carry it just a bit to far. Like small coolers, this isn't for our safety, it's to keep us paying 5 bucks for an F-ing drink of water. I firmly believe that the light small canvas size coolers should be allow with Ice and sealed bottled water. The ticket prices are insane as it is, but to force us to pay their asinine prices for water only reeks with gross greed. What good is a law against price gouging if it doesn't apply to private companies or person doing it in stadiums and such other private events. I'm pretty sure that Title 39-chapter 5 is suppose to protect everyone from unfair pricing. 5 bucks for a bottle of water IS unfair when they stop us from bring in our own water.
