THIS

I've never had the desire to sit on a steep muddy grassy hill...but some people love it.

I had to sit on the hill for my first game as a student because by roommate wanted to keep pregaming and we made it in there late. I had no sympathy for him as he puked between his legs while we were sitting there.

I prefer this. Especially with the seats above it. Right colors too.


I sorta think it will look more like the hill at Wake, and I like it!

I think you're right, that that's what we'll end up with but IDK man, having a grass hill just screams "small time" to me.

Until our donors grow in either number of donor or get a couple of whales our staff is doing what they can.

Regrading the hill for seating wouldn't be a top option if the money was there.

I agree that's probably what it'll look like and I agree it screams "small time". The base of the hill is going to be about 20 yards from the endzone. Put some stinking seats across the thing and make the place look like a be real FBS stadium.

Waiting for someone to say “does Clemson’s hill scream small time???” That’s different, it’s built into their lore and identity. For everyone else it’s still small time.

Nothing is more "small time" than empty seats.

Exactly.

People like the hill. Wake, Virginia, Clemson and every horseshoe stadium has it at one time had a hill. Nothing small time about it.

Anyone comparing the hills at Clemson & App is delusional. Had a booster, not Frank Howard, not put that rock on a pedestal in the endzone what little remains of that bank it would be covered in seats.

Most relevant part of your comment; "at one time".
