I’m disappointed more fans don’t show up to basketball games

I’m more disappointed when our team doesn’t show up.

What is interesting is that you have a contingent that uses the excuse for Coach Brownell that the fans do not support basketball. There was a time, before renovations, that Littlejohn was considered a tough place to play. Clemson has plenty of bandwagon fans, when they do not expect a boomer sooner episode with their wagon. Coach Brownell seems to have the team heading in the right direction, with the exception of our latest game. If it continues into next season the fans will climb aboard. If not, I don't think that he or his supporters should blame the fans.

Fans are not getting paid millions to coach the dang team and fans foot the bill for the team and facilities. Coaches Players, admin. Etc. Are not footing the bill.
Fans have a right and obligation to demand more for their money. Don't want to hear from the fans then lock the dang doors and play in an empty arena and quit asking fans to foot the Bill's.

I don't understand how anyone could expect us to perform

well being outnumbered like our fans were in Winston Salem last night. Until these unfortunate episodes cease and our fan base turns up its game we have no room to complain.

I didn't realize fans coached and played on the team.
When one goes to a restaurant and pays for a filet mignon, and is served a hamburger steak. One complains to mgr. And one is not likely to return esp. After learning this is common.

Don’t confuse fan attendance and cheers with fan support! It’s one thing to stand and cheer when all is right with the team. It’s another to support YOUR team through bad times. Clemson has many fans but a lot less supporter$ !

How many supporter$ are going to continue pouring their $$ down a rat hole that for decades has been an also ran in it's conference.
Supporter$ support a winner. See Dabo and the FB team.
I have no illusions that Clemson BB is ever going to get better. So, if Coach BB stays another 20 yrs. And the team performs same as past 10 yrs., I WON'T lose any sleep over it. We are no better today than we were when I never missed a game in the early 60's as a student. And the field house was packed for every game.

Filet vs hamburger steak ... good analogy, except

... we have always only paid for “hamburger” in our basketball expenditures.
For some reason, we expect to order hamburger and suddenly see a filet appear on our plate.
The restaurant analogy works both ways.

of a headache to come to the games; it's the worst weather of the year; the prices continue to go up; and the product once they get there is unexciting.
I'm surprised as many people come as do.

If the fans would stop showing up all together for the rest of the season, I can guarantee a new coach by May.

I’m really disappointed in the major IPTAY donors who have those beautiful seats and don’t show up. Looks terrible on National TV when they pan a game and see them half empty (even at Duke and Syracuse game). If you’re not going to show at least give your tickets to someone who will fill the seats.

they have a buffet and a bar right above those gray seats, and there are tables and chairs up there to sit in as well.
The gray seats are just there as an option.
Probably a terrible plan if you want to ever have the appearance of a full arena.

We missed the first game of our five-game pack due to illness. Hopefully we'll get to the four upcoming home games, but we'll be stuck in the upper arena while the empty cafe seats appear on TV.
