Piped in crowd noise, trashed campus, f-bombs, and no toilets


Nov 11, 2018, 8:47 AM

Man-Alumni Stadium must be one of the worst game day experiences in the country. Great looking venue from the outside, but in serious need of an overhaul. It was my second trip up there, but might be my last. Even the fairgrounds at NC State look great compared to BC!

Never seen high school pep rally antics by players on the big screen by players or by the PA announcer. My son turned to me and said “that’s just weird”. That could apply to the entire experience.....

You more well traveled folks - what is the worst game day experience you have seen??

it is was weird listening to it on TV, before every snap you could hear the BC band playing Journey "Any Way You Want It" It got really annoying really fast.

It was like they had the mic right beside the keyboard player.

Didn't matter what BC did either, 30+ yard loss after a bad snap and it's that keyboard and drum and bass riff over and over and over.

That noise they play nonstop is just awful. Ranks right up there with ringing cowbells for three hours.

I didn’t pick that up, but I did catch them playing “beat it” by Michael Jackson and “hit me with your best shot” by Joan Jett. I thought they got the audio feed mixed up from a high school bball game ..

To be fair, they do have a beautiful campus and pretty decent football team and tradition.
They deserve a stadium upgrade to match that tradition.

Going to the roach in cootlumbia is in a class by itself. Nothing else compares. DooDoo ice. Surrender towels. People vomiting. Flashing the number 1 finger at 10 year olds, brawls in the parking lots, open s e x in tailgates (brings an all new meaning to tailgate), spitting fans, throwing bottles and batteries onto the field at opposing players and coaches, I’m sure I have missed a lot, but that’s a pretty good start.

Never been to BC, so no knowledge of the place.

Worst for me - Maryland before they screwed up & left the ACC (how's that workin' out Twerps?). At College Park, massive drunkenness - like .30 BAC. Was told by thugs to "Get out-a here! Either leave or we'll KILL you!" I'm not kidding.

Tied for 2nd - GEORGIA. Beer/booze actually running down the streets to sewer drains, and truly PSYCHOTIC drunks running up & screaming in our faces. Can't leave out WILLIAMS-MICE. Those people make & guzzle MOONSHINE! They "F-bomb" you to death & I've had food thrown at me every time. Plus, Columbia looks like some Ukrainian industrial city - poor & BLEAK! How they get ANY recruits to sign up & live there - shocks me...

Those are my worst experiences too. awful people everywhere at Maryland and UGA.

I was at a coot tailgate after the 63-17 game and a coot vs coot brawl broke out. It was insanity. I saw one coot throw another one into a lit Weber grill. Ouch! They didn't dare take a swing at the couple tiger fans that were spectating. Lol

Leaving out the obvious dung-heap of humanity that is Williams-Lice - Here is my list of craptacular places to go as an opposing fan:

Georgia: Full of sister-shagging trash people and insanely drunk kids. I hate to bad-mouth anyone for being drunk at a football game since lord knows I spent a lot of my time that way when I was at Clemson. However, drunk or not we all cheered and yelled ourselves hoarse, and kept the violent and obnoxious behavior around little kids and old ladies to a minimum. Georgia fans don't really put in that kind of effort.

NC State: No real issues with the fans, but the place is about the most boring, dreary, and badly-worn "experience" in the ACC.

Miami: Enough said.

...but the all-time hall of shame award goes to, and the voting was unanimous, it ain't even close, folks....

MARYLAND.

To h311 with that place, and I'm 1000% glad they no longer soil the ACC with their particular brand of filth. I have never in my life seen so many adults acting like the absolute dregs of humanity in one place in all my life. I have no idea where these people crawl out from on game days, but I can only assume there is a massive cave complex somewhere in Maryland that is emptied of its denizens. The only thing you could possibly give them credit for is their uncanny ability and willingness to test the aerodynamic and kinetic properties of everyday household items as they are hurled at opposing fans. The campus is a poorly thought out carbuncle stuffed into the ghetto of College Park, Maryland, which is almost an endearing quality as you feel safer walking to your car past the gang members hanging out on the corners than you do walking past a tailgate of Maryland backers.


On a more positive note, here are some places that everyone should go:

1) Auburn. Yes it's Clemson lite and they don't have a lake, but it's a nice campus, cool stadium, and I have always been treated well there.

2) Texas A&M. I hope we play them more in the future. Cool campus, cool traditions, and a lot of really friendly folks that support the heck out of their team.

3) Virginia Tech. Blacksburg is out in the middle of BFE, but it's a fun atmosphere and the fans are generally decent folks.

I am assuming you are not talking about USuck, which would of course always be the worst. Never seen fan behavior that bad, win or lose, and especially when you lose. Their behavior is really criminal. Georgia is pretty awful. Got loudtalked in the bathrooms at halftime when we were up a touchdown. But the absolute worst aside from USuck has to be the Woofies, obnoxious, childish and football ignorant mirroring the cluckers to a disturbng degree. Yes, even Sandstorm. It takes a ton to make me consider pulling for UNCheat againat any team, but the Woofies are getting close. UNCheat would never be overtly obnoxious, they just buy players and lawyers and wine and cheese and strawberries.

Although , yes, reading the thread I remember getting balled up soda cups with ice in them thrown at me in College Park, though the remainder of the experience in 1982 was not that bad. I guess they are semi-yankees.

My experience at BC yesterday: Terribly rude fanbase. Our group had 4 different people yell "F--- Clemson" in our faces. I've never experienced anything like it. We were a group of 6 in our 40's with one kid with us, not a rowdy bunch..we were just walking through campus.
The campus was beautiful when we were there for Gameday, but they absolutely trashed it. Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. It looked like a war zone after the game. There was one sweet old BC fan who stopped to talk to us and he was almost in tears...said he had never seen the campus trashed like it was and said he was so embarrassed. Pretty sure only the Clemson visitors actually threw their trash away, the rest was on the ground. Mentioned he loved his visits to Clemson and was ashamed of how this fellow Eagles behaved.

I was there with my family of 4 (kids 9 and 10) We were in 40yd line upper deck on Clemson side. Seats were great. Stadium is so small, there’s probably not a bad seat in the place. However the stadium infrastructure can’t handle a full stadium. At halftime I took my son to the bathroom and the “concourse” area was so small we could barely get out of men’s room and then couldn’t move in the concourse. It was ridiculously small and borderline dangerous. I spoke with a BC fan and he said that the only games that have that many people are when they play us or NotreDame. I found the fans to be mostly fine and pleasant. One drunk college kid talking smack in bathroom but his buddies kept him under control and I think they would’ve hit him if he had hit the Clemson fan he was talking to. We had a great time in Boston with our kids, and loved seeing all the orange around town. If we come back I would definite pony up and pay to be in lower deck where it looked larger and more comfortable. That’s my $0.02
