Will we run down the hill into an empty stadium
Aug 13, 2020, 10:12 AM

if the ACC continues to move forward with the season but fans are not allowed?
That would be the weirdest thing ever. I take that back. This is 2020. That would be ONE of the weirdest things ever.
I saw the MLS is allowing some fans in some stadiums. Looks like they're leaving it up to local guidelines for each venue. Sure would be nice to have at least SOME fans in our stadium - both for the game day environment and for the local economies.
A related thought - I doubt College Gameday will be on the road this year. The whole draw of it is the big crowd that shows up, but unless there's a protest involved (for an approved topic), crowds are discouraged. This is gonna be one WEIRD college football season.

They can put cutouts of the students on the hill so it won't look so weird.

You do it 100% the same. Don't change one freaking thing. Let it be weird. It's normal....weird would be not doing it.

I hope you are right but between the buses and the "huddle"

at the top of The Hill, I am just thinking that someone is going to decide there is more risk than reward. Again, hope I'm wrong.

Yes. Music and possibly crowd noise will be piped over the PA system.

With Renegade coming out into an empty stadium. But then, they've pretty much been doing that the last 2-3 years anyway  (sorry, had to go there!)

I say build steps from the locker room to the side of WEZ and install a SLIDE to the South Sidelines...Now THAT would bring Musburger back to the broadcast booth...

we probably wouldnt do buses so it would be weirder
Aug 13, 2020, 10:50 AM

we would walk up the hill just to run back down. Im betting they arent going to load up buses and cram all the players into a confined space or get even more buses for social distancing just to run into an empty stadium.

If they dont want the team, coaches, etc. crammed onto buses, that's a long walk for the pageantry to no crowd.
Maybe they'll temporarily move the locker room back to Fike and just take the short walk down the hill?

I'll bet the bus company would make us a real deal on 8 or 9 buses instead of just 3. Their industry has had a slow spring and summer.

If they do the cutout route, maybe let those of us who have tickets make our own cutouts to be placed in our seats?

Will they allow season ticket holders to have cutouts in their empty seats?

intimidating moment for the other team.
Any military strategist will tell you that the unit that holds the high ground has the advantage. Clemson coming down the Hill symbolizes that.

Will they have any of the Tiger Band in the Stadium? Except for percussion, none of its members will be wearing masks while performing. Piped in music would be sound like a baseball game.

Email your picture and seat location, they will use the technology used for the Yellow 1st Down Line to place everyone in the stadium and set up a 61,000 (# of season tickets) person Zoom call to broadcast over the loudspeakers!

No, since I am not on the team. You said, Will we be running down hill? Maybe the team
will though. Go Tigers!
