A few suggestions

Mar 11, 2013, 8:25 PM

First of all, are you FSU fans or just college football junkies who like to travel around to different stadiums? The only reason I ask is because I would recommend slightly different things for your visit depending on team allegiance. But anyway here we go:

1) Stay in downtown Greenville the night before. Really nice city and Clemson hotels are astronomically expensive on game weekends. They have a cool waterfall park as well as a great restaurant/bar scene downtown.

2) If you're looking for bbq, go to the smoking pig in Pendleton, SC off of hwy 76. I've been eating bbq all my life and this is the best place I've ever been. It's about 10 minutes from campus and is open for lunch and dinner thurs-sat.

3) The Esso Club is a must when visiting Clemson. ESPN named it the #2 sports bar in America and it is absolutely the place to be on gameday.

4) Parking... here's where my recommendations might differ based on fan allegiance. If you're driving to Clemson and plan on bringing tailgate stuff I would suggest buying a tailgate spot off the internet because Clemson tailgating is legendary. If you're flying and renting a car and don't plan on bringing tailgate stuff, I would park in public parking for free and spend a little more time at the Esso Club or one of the bars downtown. Also, Clemson is known for treating visiting fans like guests so if you unfortunately find yourself wearing nole apparel, walk around the tailgates and enjoy all the free food and beer you'll be offered.

5) Game experience. I would recommend trying to get some tickets in the lower deck to get the full experience of the Clemson atmosphere. However, a big game like FSU is gonna be expensive finding tickets but definitely stay away from the professional scalpers as they jack prices up higher than normal. Look for average fans selling tickets and maybe look online before you get here. Also, make sure to be in your seat at least 30 minutes prior to kickoff to see the team run down the hill. I promise it's something you'll never forget.

I hope this helps and if there's anything else you need feel free to respond to this thread or tmail me and I'll do what I can. Go Tigers
