I've had it explained to me that Clemson is like Texas High School Football. ---Northerners don't understand
Clemson's Death Valley Stadium:
In 2012, Bleacher Report ranked Death Valley #1 in a power ranking of all 124 college football stadiums, saying, "...this venue is the best place in the country to enjoy a college football game...There are not many fans in the country that are more passionate about their team than this group. When Clemson is playing well and the game is going good, the noise in here is as loud as it gets in college football."
The storied edifice added to its legend when the first meeting of father and son head coaches (Bowden Bowl I) took place before a sellout crowd of more than 86,000 fans in 1999. Clemson has ranked in the top 20 in the nation in average attendance 22 consecutive seasons. That includes 2001 when Clemson set an ACC record for total attendance. Last season, the streak continued when Clemson averaged nearly 79,000 fans per game
