Good Morning! My thoughts regarding Death Valley
Jul 26, 2018, 6:30 AM
|
|
While our stadium is an awesome on-campus venue to watch our Tigers play, it needs some “sprucing up” to meet Dabo’s mantra “ Best is Standard.” The east end zone/hill area needs to mirror the west zone with the exception of leaving a portion of the hill for the team to run down. Then, signage in certain areas could be improved along with the bathroom facilities. Just a few things I’d like to see in the near future. Other than calling me a “coot”and a “moron,” I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas. I just figured we needed a thread that isn’t about QB’s, recruiting or UGA. Have a good day and go Tigers!

Whatever changes are done to the east side, it must not mess with the view into the Valley as you approach the Stadium. That view is what makes the stadium unique. Seeing the video displays and hearing the music gets things rocking as game time nears.

I agree that nothing should spoil the view and with one of the best architecture school in the country, it can be accomplished. The reason I want it to mirror the West zone is I am a fan of symmetry.

similar to the west end zone. That should be a heck of an architectural feat!

I don’t know if it is possible. I realize admitting “I don’t know”on a site where EVERYONE but me knows EVERYTHING is differenr and somewhat troubling but hey I’m a moron. Anyway, I realize I am not an architect nor have I ever wanted to be but I’m sure there is a design that could be pleasing to most. Just my thoughts.

You sound like a "coot" or possibly a "moron".

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I learned a long time ago it is futile to try to disprove a negative. The more you try, the more you appear to be just what they think you are. Have a nice day.

Changing DV. I would like to see the hill stay like it is now because I think that makes us unique and when I was a student I actually preferred sitting on the hill for most of the games.
I would like to see us build an upper deck around the hill to trap some more noise in and with the planned enrollment spikes we’re going to need the additional seating.

must have a full view of our team running down the Hill. Anything in that area which distracts from their entrance is evil. Build what you want but don't kill the best 25 seconds in college football.

You and most of the other jerks that are allowed and therefore encouraged to run roughshod on this site give Clemson a bad name. I’ll admit, the way some get treated here would make most find another site but it gives me a sense of satisfaction just being here.

Here's my vision for the The Hill/ East EZ : I totally
Jul 26, 2018, 7:36 AM
|

agreed it does needs improvement WITHOUT jeopardizing the traditions or any views of The Hill. First on the corner where the students sits I can see overlook gameday restaurant where people can watch the game sorta like the Chop House at the Braves stadium. We can use the old Clemson House sign and put it on top.
Second: add a few more seats to the other corner to balance the end zone out and put a Sky Walk connecting the Overlook restaurant the the North end zone corner.
Last: Add a longer EZ Video scoreboard. and have the sky walk goes behind the video board.
Like to see maybe adding 500- 600 seats total. The Hill is left alone...the views of the campus are not block.
EZ really needs something. It can be done without jeopardizing the traditions of The Hill.
Those are my ideas for the EZ.  . Some of you just need to open your minds a bit.

I'd just like to see us upgrade the seating from the metal benches to actual folding seats. I don't know how that would impact the seating capacity, but it sure would be a nice change!

I hear what you're saying - even the best restrooms in the normal seats sections are not the best. And I laughed when they made a big deal about improving the men's rooms in the upper deck and came to find out that mean replacing porcelain pee troughs with aluminum ones!
OTOH, DV is unique and I do NOT support major changes in the East End Zone. I like the open look at campus.

Spoke to a IPTAY board member recently and the East Endzone is going to be enhanced without losing the Hill. A view of campus might be lost, but new seats aren’t cheap! The whole concept is still in the planning phase.
Go Tigers!

Jul 26, 2018, 7:54 AM

In that we need to leave enough hill for the team to jog down and put in seats for others to sit in during the game. This could be accomplished and easily leave room to view inside the stadium. This will provide seats for Iptay holders /students in the lower bowl with the added ability to see and scream as team runs down the field to start the game.

i agree it wouldnt hurt to spruce up bathrooms. but have you been to games elsewhere. at most places forget about pissing and getting a drink and seeing the 2nd half kickoff. got no problem with video board. if it was bigger, great. i actually watch the game on the field and look at the board for replays. sometime i think some of you want it to be like you are sitting at a restaurant watching on a big screen. the action is actually on the field.

Why only in the lower bowl? Why not the upper deck? There are a lot of folks who sit in the upper deck as well.

I always thought it would be a cool idea to connect the upper decks over the hill. You can keep the road accessible like the visitor side. It would also add a ton of seats, enclose the valley so the noise would be unreal, and we could possibly have the biggest stadium in Merica.

I agree 100%. I haven't gotten season tickets in 5 years. Once we started having babies it got very tough to spend that kind of money, knowing my kids needed things. Now we are playing sports and all my extra goes to that. I just can't fathom paying that much to see them play Furmam, or any other team. Two tickets without a parking pass is $150 on here. Finding 4 together is playing with fire. And if you get a parking pass there is no money for gas, food, shopping, or anything but drinking water before the game and going straight home.

Clemson is seeing an aging fan base which will spend, but to many who get to a game per year even those costs are hard to bear, especially with other expenses in families. I had to drop IPTAY due to large medical bills a decade ago and am considering what level I can afford to rejoin as I also plan for retirement.
I suspect there are others in the same types of circumstances.
