and used the infrastructure money to Bus the college kids in.
I fear Clemson will never have consistent basketball crowds in Clemson.

I'm actually here. It's a good turnout just that new lounge is holding people rather than them going to their seats. That section will always look that way because if that.

Yep the club is always gonna look empty because the people stay up top. I don't like that.
But otherwise I thought the turnout was awesome. Crowd really into the second half too.

It has not been full for the past several years and the seat fee took it's toll. I've been going since 1955 but did not buy season tickets this year and don't plan to go to any games.

Kind of hard for it to be full last year

you know, not playing there and all. So you give up your tickets the year we have probably our best team in years?

So you refuse to go to any games at all just because you're mad about a fee?
That's not the players fault, but they are the one being penalized by that mindset. Just saying.

Looked like a much better than average 1st game turnout ...

The crowd wasn't particularly loud or enthusiastic, but that's always been the story of these early games while football is still in season.

This is our first game in a new arena, against a good team who also happens to be a rival. The game should have been a sellout.
The administration has supported basketball in a big way. Now it's time for our fans to do the same. Our coaches and players work their tails off and deserve better.

I was there, except for the club level it was near capacity.

The high dollar area was maybe 75% occupied. I'm sure all those seats are sold. The owners need to be sure someone uses them.

From tv it seemed decent. You could see the empty seats though but it was much better than what the Usuck game looked. I'd guess about 75-80% full. It got loud too from what I could tell. Pretty nice. It looks amazing who wouldn't want to come play there. Like one poster and BB said if we win they will start coming. When football is over it will be the big event.

props to the students for turning out last night. but let's hope they do that for EVERY game this year, not just the "big games". thought the donor crowd was decent to good. but a lot of folks prob couldn't make it to the hoops game, then back to the football game a few hours later. I'm 2 hours away.. drove to CU last night, got home at 11, leaving today about 10. think folks further away than that prob stayed home. agree, it would be good if those unused tix could be 'recycled' some way. no doubt the club area will look half full a lot. it is a revenue stream, but not sure its worth it.

I'm not sure what you are talking about but it was a great turnout. I think you just want something to complain about and there was nothing to complain about unless you had to watch on the ESPN3 feed which I understand was a complete dumpster fire.
