U of Scar fans regret building Colonial Life Arena


Jan 13, 2019, 2:58 PM

Instead of building the new arena many wish they had spruced up the old Carolina Coliseum which is now 50 years old, about the age of Littlejohn. For basketball games CLA is mostly one third full at best and is not a very intimate venue. It’s wasted money that they could have used to bring fresh water to W-B to make ice with.

We question if we should have built a new littlejohn. I think what we have is excellent for how we value basketball. We don’t fill littlejohn unless we play a big name opponent. Death Valley is pretty full even if we play Ga state/Southern.

Football is also a huge social event.

Many of the people who attend a football game at Clemson do so because it's an event. They go for the tailgating, socializing, and overall experience. If it were only about watching football, you wouldn't see nearly as many people.

Basketball is a harder sell, because it's all about watching the game. There isn't any real tailgating or social aspect to speak of.

field/floor as well. Awesome teams spur interest and fill venues. Mediocre ones don't. I remember some of the leaner years of football when you could not get face value for a ticket if you had an extra.

It has good shows, but they were better to see at the old coliseum.
