How were the Notre Dame fans?

Nice and respectful? Gracious in defeat? Jerks?
I haven't seen anything posted about their fan base compared to others we have hosted in Death Valley.

They are good people - like all fan bases they have 20% bad most of whom never went to ND or are immature college kids.

The ones at Y Beach were fine.

They were very eager to show you they were ND fans, which I found weird (like several of them pointed to their shirt or hat like they expected we couldn't read or something), but had good discussion with a couple after the game where they complained about their play calling while still being complimentary of our football program and hospitality.

happy about the welcoming they received. Of course they were upset with the outcome, but said they would put Clemson up there with any place they've been to. Including the Big House and the Coliseum. They were very impressed with our turnout and said that we have some of the best fans in America. I agree.

Those I spoke with really enjoyed Clemson despite the weather conditions. The majority loved the campus and I believe came away with a positive perspective even after they lost.
Go Tigers!

Lower section UN - Had several around / near us
Right besides us = very quiet, seemed intense, not very socialable
Right in front = appreciative, strongly supported their team, glad he was in a section that stood alot
Down in front to the left = a couple and the guy was way way too drunk but he was your happy silly drunk
Down in front and to the right = quiet for 3 qtrs and then real jack wagons, cussing a lot, dropping F bombs galore, barking at Clemson fans and thought it was going to get ugly. They were about a 7 to 8 on obnoxious scale. Happy to see them leave as losers.
Group near tailgate = very nice and appreciative

there was 2 directly in front of me, one was quiet, the other one a loud mouth redneck from Georgia. He didn't run Clemson down but he bashed ND the whole game. His best moment was in the 3rdQ when he slung his ND hat about 30 rows down to the lower deck. All the people around him had good chuckle over that. After the BJ Goodson pick, he stomped out. I guess he's probably an Alabama, Florida or FSU fan this week. He reminded me alot of most of the FSU fans 2 years ago.

Notre Dame is one of those polarizing teams for a lot of people, but there is no denying that they have tradition and huge fanbase. The fans I saw around me at Game Day on Bowman and greeted elsewhere on campus were pretty great. They were having a good time, proud of supporting their team but not obnoxious or trash talking. Really wish they were full members of the ACC and that we could play them more often. Their fans would definitely bring up the football IQ in the conference.

We sit on the edge of the IPTAY seating and have opposing fans near us each week. Surprisingly, we didn't have as many ND fans as I expected based on some online comments. A few were okay, and some sang the fight song after the late TD's. A few of the younger guys, however, were a bit upset and showed their frustration. Nothing happened that made me want to get security involved, but the type of behavior that can give a team's fan a bad rap.

Absolutely terrible. I posted this earlier in the Chirish thread, but they were a bunch of arrogant, aggressive, rude a**holes who couldn't hold their liquor. Tried to fight me while I was at a bar booth DT talking to friends - what's up with that? Wasn't just one incident too, it happened several times

I concur. The drunk, obnoxious idiots around me were a$$hats the entire game. Drinking and smoking the entire game with no regard for people around them. Before you say "all you had to do was get an usher" we were too far up in the upper deck to try and trudge down to the bottom to get one. They were as bad if not worse than coot fans.

pregame, that they were still easy to get along with. That changed once the game started and we quickly jumped out on them. They gave our team no respect and blamed the loss on poor coaching and us getting lucky turnovers. The turnovers were not lucky. Our boys went out, worked hard, and FORCED turnovers.

They started out cordial in the morning.
They cant handle their alcohol.
It went downhill fast around 2:30pm. I hope the young lady who lost her boyfriend checked the pinestraw area to our left. Last we saw her boyfriend, he was bent over making noises, around 4:15. Must have been something he ate!
