ACC Schedule/Lack of attendance
Jan 25, 2016, 10:07 PM

I see a direct connection with the late release of the schedules and attendance.A lot of people work weekends and have to put in for days off.If vacations are drawn at the end of the year for the next year, there is no way of knowing which Saturdays will fall on home games, thus making it hard to purchase season or even single game tickets not knowing if you could get off. I know this probaly only affects a small percentage of people, but i would imagine a couple of thousand are affected each year.I work 2 weekends a month and off 2.So I try to guess when a good game will be. I can't put in for every Saturday in the fall as you only are given a few choices in the vacation lottery and i have other important days not related to football that i need(I actually know the dates to these and it makes it easy!) This is the sole reason I don't buy season tickets and know of several others feel the same way..So when you seen a lot of aluminum up in the stands in some of these ACC games, just remember, those people made other plans thanks to Swofford

Agreed. Yall can say what you want about the SEC, but they fill up their stadiums. Even Kentucky and Vandy fill up their stadiums now. The poor old sucking coots even fill up their stinking dumpster.

Not to imagine people trying to schedule a vacation or get married. When you see all these"I can't believe he got married on the Clemson vs FSU weekend"...this is the reason why..he didn't know the dang schedule when he proposed in november or december!

Are we going to start this BS again? It doesn't matter how many fans attend a game at wake forest or at Kentucky, they have zero effect on Clemson!!!!! The only thing that matters is what Clemson does, not anyone else.
Also what % of fans who attend a college football game have to turn in for vacation 9 months in advance? .001% maybe!!!

Blue collar people do, the people that work weekends like medical,police,rescue,factory.Not everyone works behind a desk mon-friday. the number is bigger than you think.Vacations are drawn at the end of the last year for most folks.Now i have to figure in Fridays along with Thurdays when "guessing" at the drawing at the end of december

He did say that. Problem is that in a year or two, he will change his mind.

Yorktiger if you don't believe me go to Google and type in a search for yourself, because I'm not doing it for you. I read the interview on this site and more than likely you did to, but it's more fun to ##### about the thought of a Friday night game than to live in reality!

Yorktiger what I saw was a video interview were he was asked the question from at least 10 different reporters. Each time he stated Clemson wasn't under any contractual obligation to play Friday night football games. During some of his answers he stated this was brought into play, because of the former Big East schools now in the conference and the fact they didn't of an issue with Friday night games.
So I ask you yorktiger why would clemson Play Friday night football games if they're under No Contractual Oblong to do so? It would cause the cancelation of Friday classes, disrupt the normal campus and city routine, anger the fan base, and cause a decrease in revenue. So why would they do it? They are required to do a Thursday game during the duration of their current contract. So in order for there to be a Friday game clemson would have to agree to do it.
But you keep on stating clemson will have to play a Friday night home game, just like you stated Clemson had to move to the Big XII to compete with the SEC schools.
