Question Regarding Kids First Game
Aug 24, 2016, 8:08 PM

I am taking my daughters to their first game. My eight year old is dialed in and has a solid grasp of the roster and loves Clemson Football. My 12 year old not so much(Intellectual due to Mother).The eight year old made me promise her a 2016 game in Clemson while I was leaving for Zona. We will be going to the Troy game and I was looking for suggestions pre-game.Here are some thoughts/ideas:
1. Tiger Walk (what time will that be with a 12:30 kick?)
2. Watch Dad drink beers at Esso while they view from behind the ropes
3. Stare at the Oculus and pay their respects for at least an hour
4. Take them to Sloan Street for a 5* dinner Friday night
5. Show them the newly renovated Littlejohn(they have been to numerous hoops games)
6. Go to Macs and talk about the good ole Hatfield/West days
In summary, I usually park then drink/eat/drink but I need a different gameplan. I am open to any suggestions or hearing any success stories regarding kids really soaking in the Clemson Vibe on gameday. They know it is my favorite place to be on a Football Saturday and I want them to have a great day. They have already requested a milkshake. Go Tigers!

1. Tigerwalk 2 hours 10 minutes prior to kichoff, Lot 4.
2. Pep rally 1 hour 30 minutes prior to kickoff, amphitheater.
3. Pregame parade 1 hour prior to kickoff, Fort Hill St to Williamson Rd to Ave of Champions (formerly G St).
4. Pregame show 18 minutes prior to kickoff, Frank Howard Field.
5. The most exciting 25 seconds in college football 5 minutes prior to kickoff, The Hill.

Don't forget 2 walk over to Hendrix Student Center after the game for a great milkshake for the kids. (And you could stop in the store, in the same building, to buy some Clemson Blue Cheese, to take home.) The walking wl give some time for some of the traffic to clear. The milkshakes wl mk u n2 a hero, and maybe the kids wl sleep all the way home.

One thing I've always enjoyed is being on the road behind the north stand when The Tiger Band marches around the stadium. The enclosed area and crowd create a great sound, they us ally are there about 45 minutes before kickoff.

As much as my kids enjoy watching their dad pound beers....
There is usually a kid zone with bounce houses and stickers. Last year it was near the baseball stadium, prior to that it was outside Little John. Not sure where that will be this year.

Going to the amphitheatre and following the band to the stadium is lots of fun.
Also, and this may sound weird, but my 9 yr old granddaughter went bonkers over eating in harcombe, to her it was like the biggest food court ever with endless choices and all the ice cream she wanted, plus she loved eating with the"big kids".
