The Hill Fix
Oct 31, 2021, 12:24 PM
|
|
The attendance on the hill before game and during the game sucks. It really reflects bad on us. How can we fix it? Just go back to the way it was and sell general admission seats? Student entrance on both sides of hill would help fill up quicker before game. Thoughts?

Winning and playing sound football will fix all of that. What we see on offense will not equate to people dying to see us play. Penalties continue every game. Got to get through this season.

Yep. And the Hill was usually pretty full from 2000-2010 when Clemson wasn't that good so winning or losing is not the problem.

As noted the administration needs to look at how other schools distribute student tickets. They are the a big part of the future of iptay.

Thanks for posting article. They close the walkway too early. This prevents even distribution. I would leave the walkway open until the buses are on they way around then close it off. Also, not sure how they came up with 3000 as the number, but that should be increased

Absolutely not true. There have been problems filling the hill for several years. I think the biggest issue is when they went to only one entrance on the south side. Notice it is always the north side of the hill that is not full when the team runs down.

It was empty last non covid year, and the year before that... ever since they changed the entrance policy... and got rid of the balloons ... you know that saved some turtle in the Bahamas ... no effort to fill the hill, if so they would make the changes to do so.
So it has zero to do with winning or losing ...

Fix the student ticket policy. Students that want to go can’t get tickets. School needs to look at how other schools do it.

I think they are still free but there is a relatively complex lottery system for them to get them.

Idk I don’t get it, I understand it’s been a down year but the valley has always been my favorite place. Even in the dark days always loved being there. Hoping to get back for at least one more game trying to get the wake forest game.

The Hill is for students by the decree of the University. They should know by 30 minutes before the game how many have come in to go on the Hill. At this time, they should sell first come first, serve to sit on the Hill. A lot of people with small kids could afford to get in the game with tickets at face value.

it has hurt the atmosphere and noise factor at a stadium that can be/has been one of the toughest venues in sports.
Why they screwed it up is beyond me, but they need to get it fixed.

Haven't fixed the problem since that article in 2017. Add some more permanent seats to each side and shrink the grassy area a little further. Don't think the students want to sit there anymore. Doesn't make for good selfies.

problem they would have done so by now. Ever since they made the decision for the Hill to be exclusively a student area it has decidedly not been "Best is the Standard". The North Stand side has not been filled since they started this student only policy and it is an embarrassment to the pageantry of our famous stadium entrance.
We've heard every excuse under the sun for why they can't fill the Hill - from students not showing up to references/rumor that the Fire Marshal limited Hill access. Yet not one reporter has ever bothered to interview the Clemson Fire Marshal to get the absolute truth of the matter.
Simply put, filling the Hill is not a priority for the University or they would get rid of the current Hill policy and revert back to what had worked perfectly fine for the prior 50 years. It really does appear that the new Hill policy nothing more than a bad administration decision that created a problem where one did not previously exist.

I can’t say first-hand…but it definitely seems like a messed up system.

As far as there being a major problem… I do think the bottom line is many students are being denied tickets, and then we see wide open space available on the hill. That just seems terrible and fixable.
Could there not at least be some sort of “stand-by” system? Show up with your student ID…and let’s say maybe half-way through the 1st quarter, enough students are allowed in and directed to the hill until it fills in. I know there are potential pitfalls to that, but people get paid to figure these things out.
