I like the shape and design of the sideline stands. Has a large capacity. I like having an open endzone but dont like having both so open.

loudest stadium in college football! it is truly a great experience going to clemson for a game...the fans are really great compared to most schools out there and the atmosphere outside and inside the stadium is great. of all college stadiums ive been to, this is the best

If you go for a big game its fun, but be prepared to wait a few hours to get out of there. Unfortunately the games against the non-BCS schools and some of the lesser schools in the ACC are really boring because not many people go.

This is what college football should be like everywhere. Go Tigers

The Best stadium in all of college football.
ACS2008 08/04/2008
i've been to exactly 58 college football stadiums and the best fans are Clemson and Texas A&M by far! Clemson is also the best pregame anywhere. Overall 'Death Valley' gets my vote as the best stadium in the country.

I am from Missouri, however my dad is from South Carolina and is a Clemson alum. Being a Mizzou Tiger as a kid, I always laughed at Clemson. When I turned 13, my dad took me to my first game at Death Valley. When I first saw Death Valley and saw the monsterous upper decks, my jaw fell open. On gameday, the area is completeley covered in orange as Clemson swells to become the third largest city in South Carolina. Tailgating is amazing and we were offered food and drink from at least 30 tiger fans. Once inside Death Valley, I could feel my excitment building. When I saw the tigers run down the hill, it was one of the most amazing spectacles I have ever witnessed. I clearly remember the upper decks swaying and shaking from the crowd noise. It was extremely loud. Death Valley is an awesome stadium located in a beautiful part of South Carolina and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, a lake , and pine forests.

Couldn't find a place to park my tractor. On my way in to last game, some dude in overalls threw mud at us. Will never go back!

Clemson is awesome on game day. The new west endzone and the improvements they've made throughout puts this stadium back at the top of the college elites. There is nothing like game day in the valley!!!! I haven't been to many other college stadiums but its hard to believe they can be louder than death valley!!!! Its pretty loud when you can't hear yourself yell!!!! If we beat ga. tech this weekend and you want to witness the best venue in college football buy a ticket to the va. tech game and come on down to god's country and see what all the hype is about. Go Tigers!!!!!!!!
RockH 09/25/2007
One of the best!
AaronBeasley 09/25/2007
I am a S. Carolina Alum and Season Ticket Holder. I dont care what anybody says, there is no better game atmosphere or stadium than DEATH VALLEY, CLEMSON. I will put aside my pride and say; Everytime they board the bus and reach the top of the hill i get chills. It is such an amazing experience. I guess i would have been a Clemson fan if i would have gotten accpeted. Anyway, Go Cocks....I guess

Best stadium to view a college football game pure and simple.
CoopsTiger 09/09/2007
Tradition. Pride. The little Big school that has heart. And that heart beats loud and strong at Death Valley. Tiger Fans' hospitality is awesome. There may be 1 or 2 bonehead fans amongst the crowd, but overall it's good. Always got a shiver with the crowd's energy, the sea of Orange, & Tiger's Roar over the loudspeakers. One of the 1st place I wanted to go after being in Iraqi was Death Valley. Death Valley's mystique & allure did not disappoint. It was good to be home. For those folks hating on Death Valley because your team lost to us, man up & keep your rude comments that have no relevence to yourself. For LSU fans, imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery, right? Take the complement. I've been to BOTH. Clemson Death Valley is louder. Maybe there needs to be a scale at both stadiums to record, once & for all, who the loudest is. Looking forward to LSUs chicken fry when they play USC on the 29th. Go (Geaux) Tigers!

Great Stadium and Fans been to many LSU games and can definitely get louder than tiger stadium. "In the 2005 season, Clemson's Memorial Stadium, commonly known as Death Valley," reached an astounding 126 decibels when a packed crowd of 77,381 fans observed a Charles Bennett sack of QB Kyle Wright during the Clemson Tigers' 3 OT heartbreaker against the Miami Hurricanes. This level easily surpassed the old record of 121 decibels set by LSU fans in Tiger Stadium, which holds 91,600. "
CUTIGERS28 08/18/2007
I am a huge Clemson fan, and i love DEATH VALLEY i went to my first game last year. (NC STATE) and event hough it wasnt a very important game, it was loud! i loved it, and no i am not being biased because i have been to about 10-15 Carolina Panthers games and i love it but its just not the same. and no i cannot judge it to other College Stadiums because i havent been to any other College game but I love Clemson because of the Wonderful lake, trees and mountains. the campus is wonderful, tailgating is great and i cant wait until i go to the Wake Forest - Clemson game this year!! 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 C-L-E-M-S-O-N! T-I-G-E-R-S! Tigers, Tigers, Fight, Fight, Fight!

Frank Howard Field on a saturday afternoon. There is no other place to be. The sound of Tiger Band coming over the hill, The Thunder of the Cannon as You witness the most exciting thirty seconds in College Football.

Memorial Stadium Sucks! The Swamp is the loudest stadium, with the best atmosphere.
jj2651 03/11/2007
great place to watch a game... Worst fans..were incredibly ugly to me, my wife, and kids. A great campus..just wish I'd not been threatened for no reason other than being a visiting fan.
Victor83 02/10/2007
Traffic is a nightmare and the place is in the middle of nowhere. The best entertainment is 1) watching players rub a stupid rock, and 2) watching a bunch of PO'ed redencks throw beer bottles at the opposing team.
jaynefsc 02/10/2007
My favorite place to see a college football game! Clemson, SC is God's country plain and simple. The gameday atmosphere can't be beat. The fans are courteous, the scenery is beautiful, and the tailgating is like something you have never seen. No comparison!
MisguidedAngel 10/21/2006
The name says it all, Death Valley!!
Hunter329 10/14/2006
There is no place on Earth like "Death Valley," when the Tigers take the field. Clemson is one of the best venues for college football in the nation!

I think Memorial stadium has some of the best fans in the country. I need to only point out one fact that it is now officially the loudest collegiate outdoor stadium in america at 126 decibels.

Great atmosphere. Hills,a lake,and real saturday afternoon FOOTBALL!!!
Willy Bee 03/27/2006
One of the best college football experiences you can have. Clemson fans have treated us first class for about as long as I can remember. Win or lose, it's a friendly place. Clemson fans roll out the red carpet for visitors.
lsanhstn 02/23/2006
Pretty good stadium and fans for an ACC school. Fans are top notch and the only stadiums louder are a few of the SEC and Big XII state schools. Clemson should be proud of their well deserved reputation of being a tough place to play.
rush4threeku25 02/19/2006
loud crap
Blake Jones 02/18/2006
loudest stadium ever. the only people who rate the place bad are south carolina fans and theysuck "cocks."
GOWVUEERZ 01/10/2006
A dump...pure and simple.
bmshaver912 01/08/2006
Awesome stadium - DEFINATELY best in the ACC - most tradition, best fans, nice structure - BEST ATMOSPHERE ALL AROUND! As a Florida State student, I can honestly say it was the loudest place I have ever been - MUCH louder than "The Swamp."
itsjustbs 01/07/2006
AWESOME stadium...i went to my first Clemson game this year (my senior year)...as i was searching for colleges...I live in Baton Rouge, so I never had a doubt that I wanted to go to LSU, but my parents told me to look around...and Clemson got my attention...the campus is beautiful, but the football stadium!?!?! ALL THE ORANGE, THE NOISE, ITS BREATHTAKING! I have been to PLENTY of LSU games, and let me tell you, I LOVE my LSU tigers, but the title of DEATH VALLEY has to "GEAUX" to CLEMSON! Can't wait to move to South Carolina and attend a university with such great tradition!

woobas 10/31/2005
Of all the stadiums I've been to, this is probably the absolute loudest of them all. The fans get progressively louder as the Tigers move towards a touchdown or are beat back to their end zone, regardless of the score. The sight of the stadium is as startling as the noise that comes from within it. On game day, the seats are almost entirely Orange, Purple, and White. Pre-game pageantry is absolutely killer, complete with explosions, music, a staggering amount of noise, and a loved and supported team.
OutsideBlitz 10/28/2005
I'm a Texas A&M fan, so I was pissed when Clemson beat them. However, watching A&M play at Clemson was awesome. The tiger faithful proved to everyone that they can be just as loud as any school in the nation (except Texas A&M, obviously). Fantastic place to watch college football.
BOSOX1 10/23/2005
Florida, Tennessee, Ohio State, Michigan, etc. all are very huge and very loud but Clemson has so many intimidating factors that play in with the rateitall.com #2 college football stadium. Clemson never runs down the hill until the opposing team has entered the field, that would be so intimidating, fans that are less than 15 feet away is intimidating. When you arrive at Clemson there is always something about seeing that stadium that sends chills down your spine. I was riding in the car taking some Georgia fans to a game at Clemson and an 11 year old kid which was in the car said I wonder why they call it Death Valley and when he saw it he was speechless. A sportsmagazine went around the country to notable football campuses and asked a simple question to some of the students and football fans: What school do you think of when you hear the word Death Valley? 12 of the 15 schools said Clemson (Included Southern Cal, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Nebraska) Maybe because Tiger Stadium is used just as often for LSU's stadium as Death Valley and maybe Clemson deserves the name Death Valley because they have a better winning percentage at home and Clemson's stadium is actually in a VALLEY. Also, about LSU, on their official website, on the facilities page it says to get a link to the football stadium info, it said Tiger Stadium, on the other hand Clemson's official website says Death Valley, come on if your own school doesn't refer to your stadium as Death Valley then don't call it Death Valley. If you have never seen a game at Clemson in person then you shouldn't rate this at all. A word for yall nogamecocks or lamecocks (which ever you prefer), if you can't beat us on the field, don't try to beat us up ;). Because yall suck at that too. Here is a quote from CHris Rix after the 2001 gome in Death Valley: Florida was loud in the Swamp. But, the loudest, not only the stadium, but the lousest place I, have ever been around in my life was Death Valley. I was yelling at the top of my lungs and I couldn't even hear what I was saying. The place was unreal how lound it was. I don't I will ever be in a louder place than Clemson." Ok, this is an update, since going to the Miami-Clemson game this year I can't believe how loud it was. 124 Decibels, I talked to Larry Coker after the game on the field and he said The Swamp was loud, Clemson is deafening. Fans and players alike said the same thing, if you were privilged enough to see the game on television it underestimated how loud it was. For once this is not a hyperbole (exaggeration): you couldnt hear yourself yell. Sorry LSU, Texas A&M, Florida, Ohio State, etc. Clemson is just louder. Do this stadium some justice and rate rationally not biasedly. I also only rate stadiums that I have been to.
