West Virginia.
I'm guessing for Clemson they'd be closer to 66k than to 52k.

52k by middle of the second.
18k by the third.
Back to 10k by the fourth.
Numbers could fluctuate depending on how badly they're losing per quarter.

52k is more than I would have thought. Capacity is about 68k it looks like.

I was watching a game recently, before they lost, and there were a lot of empty seats visible. To be kind of fair, it was a Thursday or Friday game. But still, I don't think the city supports the team that strongly. Either that or it was a highly skeptical fan base.
Then again, Miami was ranked in the top 10 and they couldn't fill more than 60% of their seats. Call me old fashioned but don't stick your U hands in my face saying "The U is Back" if your fan base can't attend games to support the team.

In all honesty, many of them likely put all their resources into the Steelers. Clemson and coots don’t really have a local NFL team to compete with. Got to play their team on the field, not their crowd. GO TIGERS!!

As a lifelong Cowboys fan

who attended many a Cowboy game in his youth,
I'd STILL go to Clemson games over those games.
Clemson offers a vastly superior UX.

I’ve been to 2 Cowboys games in 27 years in Dallas. Tickets were offered through business and it would have been career limiting to turn them down. So I went.
It felt like 3 1/2 hrs of hard selling, with brief interruptions of football. They had everything under the sun going on in there. Football was the sideshow. Total waste of time and money IMO.

I enjoyed a lot of games in Texas Stadium.

The one with the hole in the roof so "God could watch his team play."
Back then, it was about the football. Then Jerry bought the team.
I've been to Jerry World once -- for Clemson/Notre Dame.
$30 cheeseburgers. Vodka shot bars. Wine tasting venues. Beer gardens with stripper poles.
Pottersville.
College football is vectoring in the same direction. When they start selling booze, pretty much everything else will follow because "the dollars. Always the dollars." #Casino
I hope Clemson holds on and keeps it family-budget-friendly as long as they can.

Had the most expensive and worst hotdog I’ve ever had in my life there. I don’t know how you can messed up a hotdog, but they found a way. I think they might’ve actually scraped up a dog from the highway and put a slice up it, uncooked, in a bun.

Early reports indicate that both of them will be there.

Size won’t matter. Obnoxious meter will be off the chart. Pro stadium so beer will be flowing and the students get pretty greased up. Just try and sit with other Clemson folks.
