Ive had some time to think about the baseball game in Death Valley

And I still think it’s a terrible idea. Clemson is better than this.

Thank you.

Has anyone said how much we expect to make? I suppose it will be a big day in terms of beer sales as well.

When you’re operating a semi professional sports business using a university’s name every revenue opportunity is on the table.

I said just about the same thing to myself last night. Clemson is being used to just make money. We’ve all known for some time that “it’s a business.” The baseball game in The Valley is just a PT Barnum moment. You almost have to have alcohol and go “bananas” to witness. What’s the world coming to?

81,000 ticket sales disagree with you. Concessions alone will bring big money. I’m glad you aren’t the AD!

A wise man once said no publicity is bad publicity. The entire sports world is talking about banana ball at legendary Memorial Stadium aka Death Valley. Genius marketing move. Broke the world record for ticket sales to a single baseball game in history. There’s no negative to this move.

If he was the AD we would be in the Big South going toe to toe with Wofford. But hey at least Clemson is still the same ol' Clemson from the 50s!!!!

The crazy old men on T-Net are yelling get off my Valley! What's the harm? You are going to re-sod anyway. We are going to see more of this in the future -- special events in athletic facilities. Concerts coming back. Need to keep the dollars flowing.

Basketball should be encouraging events like that to make money so they are not dependent on football.

This will be big positive exposure for Clemson

The founder of the Bananas, Jesse Cole, was extremely effusive and positive about Clemson when his team played our baseball team. He's a huge fan of Clemson, and, even though a lot of you guys don't know about the Bananas or care about them, they're a big, new phenomenon in sports right now and have a huge following and fan base. This will be nothing but positive for Clemson. The university will make money, but the exposure we get will be significant as well.

This will be a big event for families and people who don't ordinarily get to Clemson - they'll see the campus, spend money downtown, and such.

I see it as a win-win and think it's a great idea. We're the only college stadium they're playing in, I think. The rest are pro venues.

Go Tigers!
