What does everyone think of the fireworks?

I'm not a big fan of them. At night they're pretty good, but during the daytime, you can't see them. They also make a LOT of smoke, which lingers literally until the end of the commercial break.
Personally, I would rather just have just big booms, and not all the colors and sparks. Maybe shot something with 6 loud booms for a TD, 3 for a field goal, and 1 for an extra point and 2 for a safety.

Just some loud reports would be fine. Less smoke too.

Or maybe just leave the pretty colors and sparks for night games.

I just think it is a waste of money, we don't need fireworks to make Death Valley look good and I would rather celebrate a score with Tiger Band and C-L-E-M-S-O-N than the boom of fireworks. JMO

It seems kind of silly during day games. Maybe they could fire six of those mortar shell type fireworks for a touchdown and three for a field goal. Then the explosions would be higher up and there probably wouldn't be as much smoke.

etched into the Clemson lore for all eternity. Same with the new mascot. To do away with him now would be blasphemy to all that is Clemson. The net should remain as well. It is now tradition and is the embodiment of Clemson University...

How are the Allstate nets and fireworks a Clemson....
Sep 12, 2013, 11:48 PM

tradition? Many other schools shot off fireworks before us and we were one of the last major programs to add the nets. Those aren't Clemson traditions and they for d@mn sure aren't Clemson lore. The Hill, the cannon, Rally Cats, Tiger Rag, etc., that's tradition. The nets have a corporate logo on them for goodness sake, not one thing related to Clemson.

I am OK with whatever they want to do as long as they're scoring points and not breaking out the fire extinguishers.

6 for a TD, 3 for a field goal, and 1 for an extra point and 2 for a safety
Where on earth did you come up with those numbers?

I like them, especially at night and the fact they are orange and purple. But sitting anywhere near the west side of the stadium during SC State game the wind was blowing in from the west and rained down ash all over us. I kept reaching up and being like, "When did I go to the beach and get sand in my hair?". Then it dawned on me when I took a sip of my coke and realized the "sand" was in there too. More fireworks= more points for my Tigers!!! And I hope there is a lot more ash in my future!!! GO TIGERS!!!

The cannon, the fans, the players, the band. Excitement.
There is no reason to add excitement artificially to an event that is spontaneously and truly exciting.

Personally, I love them. The beginning of the UGA game, with the players coming down the hill and then those going off on the other side - I thought the entrance was amazing. Seriously.
