First Clemson football game advice
Nov 21, 2013, 6:55 PM

Greetings Tiger fans,
We are coming up this Saturday for our first football game at Clemson. Seeking advice on recommended things to do, where to eat and places to visit.
We've been to the campus before but not on gameday, just a quick visit a year or two ago.
Me: A GT alum who has always cheered for Clemson (minus that one game)
The wife: A Kansas born, Georgia transplant who became a Tiger fan about 7 years ago after moving here to Savannah.
Any parking advice would also be appreciated.
Thanks guys

Park at the Y beach off sc93 for around $10.00 (unless they
went up) and ride the free CAT bus. Come in on 123 from Seneca and take right onto 93 to Y beach(second turn on the right about a half a mile after you turn off 123).
There are not many great places to eat in Clemson. Fatz or Copper River in Seneca are pretty good.

There is lots of $20 parking around the downtown area. North Clemson Ave. allows parking on the street side(free).
Go to Tiger Town Tavern before the game and Esso Club after.
Go on the field after the game and take pictures at Howard's Rock. If you are in the upper deck, go all the way up for a great view of campus and lake.

Parking & things & places to see in Tigertown....
Nov 21, 2013, 8:23 PM
|

Hello..try parking about 4 blocks away from downtown near movie theatre or post office (near bypass but up main road that leads up to town), maybe behind bank nearby or in surrounding neighborhoods on left, costing about $10-$20..which will make it easier after game to get home.
Then, walk towards town in minutes so to see shops selling Tiger stuff..then, when at major stop light facing Bowman Field & looking towards Tillman Hall (next to Subway)turn right and head down past Soccer Field, Tennis Courts & large parking lot on your left..and then go one more block (look on your right side) where world famous ESSO CLUB is the place where Brent Musberger goes for beers which are sipped outside among hundreds of Orange Fans..and then simply walk back across the street towards stadium within eye sight.
And, if you've got time go to stadium's East side one hour before game (end where Team's buses come to) and watch TigerBand come down the "outside" hill playing Tiger Rag (at top of that outside hill is the John C. Calhoun home called Fort Hill, which Tom Clemson & wife inherited, and is a national landmark & free to visit inside).
Of course..you could get inside early and get over close to The HILL (under the scoreboard, but know this IS NOT POSSIBLE "IF" your tickets are in the UPPER DECKS) and watch Team get off buses & rub the ROCKchip before running down The HILL.
Good Luck, have Fun..and GoTiGERS!

Roughly two hours before (around 10am) go to TigerWalk. There's nothing better. At the end of the game definitely go down on the field. I always love going down to the field, especially on senior day. After the game, I would recommend grabbing a bite to eat at the Esso Club.
It will be a little cold on Saturday but should be sunny. So definitely walk around the beautiful campus!
Welcome to Tigernet!

*Bowman Field will open at 8 a.m. and will have the largest display of military vehicles in the 20-year history of Military Appreciation Day. The displays will include current military vehicles, vintage vehicles and several interactive displays.
That might be interesting.

Thanks for all this great info. We are definitely looking forward to a great time with what I've always considered great fans.
Something y'all might enjoy....my wife became a Tiger fan while watching the 2006 game with me, when Spiller and Davis ran all over my Jackets. New to the area she needed a team of her own.
See y'all Saturday.
