Embarrassment


May 24, 2018, 10:34 PM

ACC Baseball Tourney in Durham. I lived in Durham for 10 years and watched the entire conference tournament for two seasons. Probably around year 2000 give or take. Crappy crowd then and ever since in Durham. What a joke for a venue!

Sounds like a good contingent of Clemson fans there tonight.***

"When I was young, I was sure of many things; now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Saviour. He is well-taught who learns these two lessons." -John Newton


The Clemson crowd was great last night.

Miami brought a few fans, but honestly for a late start on a week night, I thought the crowd was fine.

Let's see what it looks like for a weekend Clemson match-up versus a team from the area.

If the place is not packed for (hopefully) NC State on Saturday evening, then I'll agree that there is a problem with the venue.

Greenville drew more than any place ever has and they said it was unfair

I’d love nothing more than it to be in Gville as I live in Spartanburg. But.. I stand by my reasons listed above. Hotel accommodations.. Airline considerations. Size of stadium and metro area.. alumni in and around Charlotte metro area. Just makes sense

That was just an example. There are baseball fans in the ACC. They just don’t seem to travel to Durham. It’s been tried over and over again. There hascto be a better answer. Maybe Charlotte as others have suggested. I don’t know. But Durham is not the answer.

I was at a 2A State softball championship game here in S.C last week and I swear it seemed to have a comperable crowd.

Greenville drew well even when clemson wasn't playing. I sat in the stands for many a duke/GT, fsu/Maryland games. When I say well, I mean it was a noticeable crowd. Georgia tech used to always bring a decent amount of fans back in the Varitek, Garciaparra days. Most clemson fans would about fill the place for the game before and after the tigers played. Fun days of eating ice cream out of the little mini g/braves helmets.
