Freezing cold in a converted baseball stadium. I'd be skipping that invite like ND.
Clemson playing bowl in Yankee stadium
- Thread starter sclawman77
- Start date
I wonder the Cost to participate in a bowl?? especially a lower tier bowl, Band Cheerleaders, etc etc??
No downside to playing in any bowl as long as you show up to play.
Christmas and New Years in New York? I could think of worse bowls
Me personally, would rather be playing In a warmer climate, or a dome, but hey, minus whatever wind chill, is not a fun way to view (i willl never forget the Papa John's bowl of 2010) Froze my Arse off!!
I can think of better ones too but at the end of the day they're bowling and we aren't.
That was just a horrible experience from pulling into the parking lot to waking up the nest morning realizing it all really happened.
my sentiments EXACTLY......Thanks the good Lord my seats were in the SUN!!
It was always weird seeing the 49ers play in Candlestick Park before the baseball season was over (before PacBell->AT&T->Oracle Park). It's a first down at 2nd base!
They're playing a very beatable opponent & will likely get their 8th win. Their program is a lot better than ours. Face facts. Always has been. Always will be. They care way more.
Terrible stadium for football. If you are sitting on the 50 yd. line you are some 80 yards from the field. Seats closest to field are endzone.
(1958 Baltimore Colts Lead by Johnny Unitas vs New York Football Giants was played in Yankee Stadium. Went into overtime.)
Old Cleveland Brown/Indians stadium was the same way. Just a big oval. "The mistake by the lake"

Dork is about right for you
I've said this before Clemson ever went to that bowl, so its not a rivalry thing.
That is a bad stadium for football. And both teams have to be on one side, right? Its that bowl?

Interesting development.
We sit at 4-8, our HC is making embarrassing statements, we're still looking for an OC, all this after losing to our arch rival, in an very lackadaisical performance, and our fan base is dissing Clemson for getting to play in a bowl.

And I'm sure the teams performance(or lack therof) that day made it feel that much colder!
If only for extra team practice. But it may be expensive.
I think Clemron has had a chip on its shoulder vis a vis USC from the founding circa 1890. Big motivator in many areas.
That is true, but hell we tailgated inside the car, lol. Went out to a friend's tailgate that had heaters, it was STILL unbearable will before the game began. one of the funnier issues, Papa Johns Bowl, RAN OUT OF PIZZA!!
Not at all, in fact your post is stating the obvious
When the Falcons played at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, the setup was the same way. 50 yd line seats were some of the worst.
Fans better take their campers…… rooms are about $600. Per!!
Until 1971. Hard to believe they played pro football in that little stadium.
We would have been tickled pink to go to Shreveport. Stop
No chance of that happening with a losing record, how is that relevant.
If we don’t get a real OC it might not be relevant for many yrs to come
8-5. Hooray. They suck less than us.
You forgot to add, playing in the Bronx! Babe Ruth will be looking down on them thar taters!
Wasn't so little at the time. Seating was vastly reduced a few years back,
Someone wake me when Dablo equates it to playing for a world series. I fully expect it. He is a master of BS spin.
Partially true statement. The seating wsa not reduced per se, but the new Yankee Stadium was a totally new building that was built across the street from the old one. Old Yankee Stadium had 80K seating capacity, New Yankee Stadium can hold 54K for football events.
I remember . Idiots spilling Beer on us at 13 degrees, Papa John the Idiot going out to the 50 years line for applause in his Shirt Sleeves, No Pizza and Terrible Parking......Taters going to hate it when they get their Chewing Tobbaco taken away at the gate.
They were speaking about Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.
