Update: Gameday for VT... AND South Carolina
Aug 10, 2012, 1:54 PM
|

About a week ago I posted that my mother who works as sales manager (or something like that, shes in charge of sales at the hotel) at a local hotel in Anderson, told me that ESPN Gameday Live had booked 50 rooms for the week of Clemson VS VT.
She told me last night that they also are trying to book rooms for the week of Clemson VS South Carolina as well.
I had questioned whether they knew where they were going and if this was permenent already and they told her that at any time up until that week they can pull out depending on how the teams play
So as of right now, I Think we've got two night games/Gamedays in Death Valley this year

easy to book and then cut them loose early enough to not get penalized if you dont come in either case

I have a friend who works for College Gameday and I can assure you they don't decide this early. I'm sure we're a candidate game (the options are pretty light that week), and because of our limited hotels they may have reserved some rooms, but it's way too early to even speculate that we're going to get it.

Gameday doesn't necessarily constitute a night game either

Although the situation could be different with Death Valley. Gameday came to Columbia in 2010 when we played Alabama, and we were the CBS 3:30 game.

Being in the hotel industry for a long time I know ESPN had

a lot of trouble finding rooms for the gameday crew at the last minute, even in Greenville. They didn't book in advance.
They might have learned their lesson with this and very well could have booked a couple of blocks of rooms ahead of time just to be safe. It's not easy in a place like Clemson to get a hotel room on a football weekend as we all know!

Since most hotels in Anderson have been sold out for the football season since January, good luck finding rooms.

It may very well just be the normal room reservation for ESPN televising a game. I imagine it takes a pretty good sized crew to televise a game.
