Cell phone lights at game...BUT BETTER


Oct 20, 2015, 10:28 AM

For those of you who missed it, there was a really cool moment during the BC game where everyone lit up their cell phones as if they were lighters for an encore...

Now imagine if we had the screens from everybody's phone's pulsing orange and purple. For a big third down against FSU. I have been talking to my fellow students about it and they are on board from it.

The real question is if everybody from here would be willing to jump in too. Please let me know if y'all would do this or not, and if there's enough support I'll detail my ideas on how to make it work. It wouldn't cost a thing for anybody

Go Tigers!

I'll be there - I'm game, if you can get enough support.

A better idea even (IMO): Air Horns. If the cowbells are allowed, I say we up it a bit. We have two hands. An air horn in one hand, my 6+ strobing between purple and orange in the other.

Here's a link to a panoramic pic I took. I don't understand though - it looks great on my iPad, but here at work on my desktop computer, I can barely see the lights.

If it doesn't load correctly, let me know and I can email you a high res copy.

Even better than airhorns would be AK47s.


Oct 20, 2015, 3:29 PM [ in reply to Re: Cell phone lights at game...BUT BETTER ]

It's a noted celebratory act worldwide, and I think it would gain attention for Clemson all over the world if all of us brought AK47s and fired them into the air after every big play.

I think it would be way to hard to coordinate with 85,000 people to get them to even get something with an orange or purple background on there phone.

Hopefully after last week we can get them to do just the phone thing again.

As others had said it looked to me like it started in south upper deck stands. I just hope it works again. It would be nice if we could do it every 3rd down.

Create a free app that flashes from orange to purple on the screen. Put something on the board about it before the game and during the game put something on the board saying to turn on the app and hold your phone up. Shouldn't be too hard.

I was surprised at how low the decibel meter read at BC. It seemed to be just as loud (or close) to the GT and ND games, yet the highest I saw was around 105. I wonder if they moved the mic/sensor...

Or if someone doesn't want to download something just take a picture of your orange shirt and hold up. Just tell everyone you know whos going about it, we've got two weeks to spread the word.

on an already orange stadium.

Worth a shot, but not sure how effective it would be.

The LED lights were very bright and distracting in person, but they didn't look that impressive on camera.

Maybe something like this should be done when our offense is on the field to distract the other teams defense. That way we can continue to make noise while our defense is on the field.

Oct 20, 2015, 11:14 AM

during the game!!! This was in TDO. I had a woman tug on my coat to sit down, but I told her no. Then 2 rows behind her an older (in her 80's) told me to sit! I told her I wasn't going to sit, then her husband says "YOU WILL SIT DOWN!". I was defiant to him and said, no Sir, I'm not sitting. Then of course I catch all these snide remarks from behind me. It's not like I stand during the whole game, but the Tigers were about to score! I've felt bad since then, but what has Tiger Nation become?!?!

How in the he!! can you get people to realize that we are not at the movies!!!

I'm surprised that they didn't complain about the cell phone lights, so good luck with this one.

It is your seat, you paid for it. If you want to sit, sit, if not then do not. I almost saw a fight in my section about it the ND game, and thought it to be stupid. If you cannot stand, then stay on your couch in your house.

First, I'm going to go into the stadium and find my seat.

Then, I'm going to turn my cellphone completely OFF. That's right OFF. No selfies, no in-game tweets, no virtual lighters or strobe screens.

THEN (and this is where it gets wild), I'm going to WATCH THE GAME! Every freaking minute of it! If I really am feeling zany, I might yell or clap too!

Just an idea I've been kicking around---not sure if it will take off as it doesn't seem to be too popular.

do it when they play light 'em up. Get someone to build a Clemson crowd prompt app. That way it could be updated and changed to find what works best. Also my battery won't last in the stadium for all 3rd downs. Once during the game would be more impactful.
