Sometimes neccessity dictates traditions, and in Clemson SC this is on full display. Tailgating outside of Death Valley was introduced and improved upon due in large part to the small town in which Clemson resides.

There are only really two roads into Clemson, so as the stadium and crowds grew, so did the lead time that was necessary to get to the stadium; lead-time that usually encompassed the lunch time hour. With 80,000+ coming to the small college town, dining options and accommodations made tailgating a neccessity.

But in Clemson it never was an unwelcomed neccessity. Dining and unwinding on the beautiful, compact, rolling campus, with beautiful architecture, large shade trees, and a family friendly atmosphere, has become a highly demanded reservation. Fans pay big bucks for prime tailgating areas and the RV crowd rolls in on Thursdays for a Saturday game.

Many tailgates have the efficiency of a school cafeteria, encompassing breakfast, lunch and dinner, while also possessing the menu of a five star restaurant and the service of your locally owned Southern cafe’. And while the food and cocktails is the focal point of the prelude to kick-off, the surrounding activites of the day give the entire area the feel of a giant fall festival.

A football weekend in Clemson is something for the bucket list. Oposing fans are welcomed like long lost friends and first time unafiliated visitors are treated like royal embassadors. Try to make it to Tiger Town for a big game in the fall. You won’t be dissapointed.
