Favorite ACC opponents stadium?

I don’t have as long a list as others but I liked Duke for the carnival food. Cool little bowl. Plus I didn’t mind to little crowd.
Really want to go to VT though.

I'd Say GT. We always win, and there are few bad seats in the house. Plus you could rip bong hits in Bobby Dodd and security would not bat an eyelash.

True. If you make it into the stadium without being solicited for crack or outright mugged, you’ve had a great experience. Olympics 1996 were sporty too.

Top of that God Forsaken Endzone!!! I bet it’s been a while since you went there?!!!
I like Wake’s quaint abode . . .
Mainly because we own the Stadium . . . and . . . The Fairgrounds Parking is a sea of Orange . . . and . . . it’s only a 2hr drive

Parking is usually a breeze, and you can walk to the College Football Hall of Fame, which is legitimately incredible for any Clemson fan, plus there never seem to be enough GT fans there to make it a problem.

North Carolina/Kenan Memorial Stadium-Beautiful scenery outside the stadium and on the inside really not a bad view from anywhere,even in the upper deck and I would not consider their top rows in the upper deck to be nosebleed.I always enjoy going there to see the Tigers take on the Tar Heels.

I agree Kenan is beutiful, but for my money, Carter-Finley is hard to beat.
I guess I have been to more competitive games there and the wins are always more satisfying when the team has to dig down deep but comes out on top.
I've been to games there in all of the decades going back to the 70's when I was in grade school.
Lots of fun when we played them when the State Fair was in town.

I think most fans would say that place is one of the worst, if not the worst. Mostly due to the inhabitants.

Yes I always get the image of lipstick on a pig when I think of CFS in Raleigh. Didn't the students urinate in the stands back a few years ago because they didn't want to lose their seat if they went to the rest room?

I went to the 2015 game on Halloween at CFS.
It was awful for a multitude of reasons:
1. All their students left at halftime and didn't come back. Those that I knew attended NC State did so because they wanted to go to Chapel Hill or ECU, or the bars in downtown Raleigh. Idiots.
2. One of their concession stands thought I had a counterfeit $2 bill. I had to pull up the tradition on my phone and literally show them it's a Clemson thing for away games.
3. At the beginning of the game, my dad stood up and clapped when Clemson ran onto the field. There was this hick family in front of us and their 10-12 y.o. kid turned around and gave us the bird. My dad said "Show some class!" to the family. The mom who looked like pre-meth era Mama June, turned around and started babbling in unintelligible ENC drawl that neither of us could understand. My dad just stood up and didn't even give her the time of day.
What was really baffling was their fans not returning after halftime. The game was relatively close and Jacoby Brissett tore us a new #######. I remember Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd literally couldn't tackle him in that game.

Wake for me. Only twenty minutes away and all seats are good. I will take in a game if the Tigers are off and they are playing a ACC game. They serve a might fine barley pop at the stadium along with chick fil a sandwiches. Also made the UNC pep band sit in the top corner of the stadium...lol

Yeah, that top corner puts them SO far from the field. Isn't Wake's stadium about the same size as the Lego version of Death Valley?

Been to every stadium except Miami’s new one. I’d go UNC, FSU, then GT.
UVA is my favorite campus but their stadium is a notch below.
VT’s stadium is fun but in no way #1 in the ACC.

Wake- great seats, easy parking

Duke- nice stadium, easy parking
NCSU-fans were low class
Cuse-fans showed no class when Kelly got hurt.

UNC by far, don't care for the heels but the townies are really nice, much like CU, and a better downtown for turning up a few.
VT fans are loud-mouth rednecks, NCSU fans are jerks, Wake and Duke are nice in a HS way, GT is ok, Tallahassie is still good and Miami is crappy from location to crowd. Boston College and Syracuse are good road trips - not much atmosphere, although the dome is great for basketball. Never been to Pitt.

I've enjoyed Clemson games at Syracuse, Boston College, Virginia, Virginia Tech, UNC, NCSU, Duke, Wake, GaTech, FSU, and Louisville. I have yet to see a game at Pitt or Miami. I will get up to Pitt this coming year.
My favorite road trips have been to Boston College and Louisville.
Way back when the Noles were good, a night game in Doak Campbell was pretty special.
I've been to many games at each of the old line ACC schools. My favorite College Football Stadium is Death Valley by about a country mile.

Been to the following...
Carter-Finley - Been there for several events growing up. The only football game I attended there was either the 76 or 77 game vs Maryland. Maryland's marching band could not come so our high school band was invited to stand in. Of course it helped that Johnny Evans and Ted Brown were from our high school! We got to sit on bleachers on the sidelines...waaaay too close to the action.
Wake Forest - When my nephew was a student he got us tickets to see Clemson play Wake. This was during the Ken Hatfield days. We were literally on the 50 yard line first row right behind the Clemson bench. I yelled at Hatfield so much I would have thought security would have kicked me out. But it was a great venue overall with great fans and good parking.
Kenan - Nice facilities and seats were ok.
For the football experience....Wake.

Really want to go to VT though.
NC State was the absolute worst ACC place I’ve ever visited. Was there a few years back when KB was starting. They had a pre-game “fly over” and I was looking for military jets. Instead, here comes 4 or 5 crop duster looking planes - it was sad. Got called white trash and cheater by some 70 year old guy who was pissed because we won. He proceeded to spout profanity at our group which included a 10 year old kid. We did nothing to provoke him. It was very similar to u of SC in that they try hard to make it exciting but it just isn’t.

1. Miami (old Orange Bowl) - I love these old erector set stadiums
2. UNC - slick stadium though kind of a stale atmosphere.
3. Wake Forest - great sightlines, easy to get in out of.
4. NC State - I haven't been since the endzones were enclosed. It was kind of raggedy when I last went.
5. Miami (Hard Rock Stadium or whatever it is now) - I hate it when a college team plays in an NFL stadium.
6. Georgia Tech - There's no consistency with this one... It's like 4 different stadiums were built at different times on the same site.

Yes, I like that Doak Walker Stadium of FSU's. Not sure why they named it after an SMU RB, but more power to them. It's a great place to work on a sun tan, or read a book when the score gets out of hand.

Louisville, easy to get to, H3LL to park around but the train cars party zone outside is a lot of fun post-game. Very accomodating stadium staff and the fans know winners when they see them (in orange) and are quick to offer up some of Kentucky's finest brown water.
