Game Day Advice for SEC Lurkers

There will no doubt be a lot of new fans attending games this season. If you've recently traded in crimson or garnet Christmas pajamas and plan to show up for a Clemson game, you are certain to have some legitimate questions concerning stadium etiquette. The following FAQs are my humble attempt to help make your experience as seamless and pleasurable as possible.
How much should I pay for a ticket? Market forces will determine appropriate pricing, but figure face amount plus a some share of the required donation for that seat. Donations are 80% tax deductible, so expect to pay no less than 1/7 of the remaining 20% in addition to face.
What do I wear? Orange is the predominant choice, and crowd shots always look nice with some purple and white mixed in. If you are homophobic, stay away from purple - it's too close to pink. (See more under woo hoo question.)
How is traffic? Where do I park? You'll want to avoid the traffic; suggest arriving no later than 45 minutes prior to kickoff. Any later and you may have to park a few blocks away.
Snacks and drinks? Whatever will fit in your pockets without sticking out more than three inches is fair game, with the exception of Dippin' Dots. There is strict enforcement of DD contraband. Seen many a poor fellow dragged down the steps, dots a flyin'. If bringing alcohol, be sure and use plastic containers only. No glass bottles or hard-sided flasks are allowed.
When should I be in my seat? The boys will run down the hill a few minutes before kickoff, so don't cut it too close. Be seated when you hear the cannon fire.
Woo Hoo or no Woo Hoo? This is a matter of preference. For those who are afraid to wear purple, they will woo hoo only in the shower or the privacy of their Ford Rangers. Some folks woo hoo all day. I recommend saving up for big plays: TDs, turnovers, big stops on defense at critical times.
Is it okay to make noise during pre-snap? When we are playing defense, you should make all the noise you can. If someone near you is silent, smack him on the back of the head repeatedly until he, too, makes plenty of noise. (Small female children - say three and under - should not be smacked, but it is appropriate to death stare at said child's momma.)
Can I run onto the field after the game? If you are under the age of 15, or you have no self control, feel free to run onto the field when the clock runs out; however, it is important to know that the older female security guards are the most dangerous. They will pepper spray you, so avoid their personal space at all costs. For best results, gather somewhere between the 35s and hop the wall so you can be first to get the mouthpieces and sweat bands.
Lastly, and most importantly, if you've had too much Zima, wait a few hours before getting into your car.
Hope your visit to Death Valley is memorable. Go Tigers!

RTR. Going for 5 in 9.
This "coots" obsession you guys have is a little ridiculous too. Seems like something an 8 year old might say.
I live in Columbia so I get the gamecock hate, but you guys need to let them go. Your program is so much better than theirs. Why waste your time on them?
