Fiesta Bowl - Be creative!


Dec 6, 2016, 11:57 AM

After reading about the creative ways folks are attempting to get to Phoenix at a low cost...I am wondering if they don't teach students at Clemson (and therefore alumni) to think outside the box. I think at least 3,000 Clemson fans can go for free.

Overview of the steps:

1) Question the validity of our 1 point loss to Pitt - because ultimately this could have resulted in Clemson playing in Atlanta, which would be much less expensive for the fans than playing in Phoenix.

2) Raise about $5 million to finance a serious review of the addition of points on the board, spotting of the football, and re-review of penalties - it is destined to fail, but what the heck, we have helped ensure the integrity of the game.

3) When step 2 fails to overturn the outcome of the Pitt loss at a cost of about $100K......

4) Redirect the remaining funds of $4.9M
5) Rent all of the 950 rooms in the JW Marriott for 4 nights at $500/room - Total Cost = $1.9M
6) Charter 3 Boeing 737's to make 9 round trips from Greenville to Phoenix - Total Cost = $1.6M
7) Purchase the best 3,000 tickets - Total Cost = $1.1M
8) Charter deluxe transportation to/from airport(s) - Total Cost = $.3M

That leaves each of you responsible for your own meals, so technically the trip wouldn't be free.

Unfortunately:

1) I am just an 'idea' type of guy and fall down on the execution
2) I am already booked to Phoenix so my interest level in leading this effort isn't 100%


So..someone else is going to have to pick up the ball if this turns out to be a 'workable scenario'!

What makes you think we could have gotten the Peach Bowl ahead of Alabama, sir? With comparable records--that was never going to happen unless we played the Tide.

Going to Arizona makes it more of a neutral situation than Atlanta when Alabama is playing there.

The cost of these playoff games is absurdly high.
