IIRC, ABC so badly wanted exclusive rights for the 82 game (featuring the last 2 national title winners) that they bought lights or somethign for us so it could be the first televised night game at sanford. Or something like that, probably fuzzy on teh details.
That game and weekend were unbelievable.The game was Labor Day nt and the 1st at Sanford for the new 82k expansion I believe.(edit it was '81 on the expansion my bad)
School hadn't started but EVERYBODY was already back on campus and the parties started on Friday and Saturday and lasted into the late hours Monday.It was my wildest FB weekend ever.
Clemson was our biggest rival back then bar none.The '83,'84,'85 and '86 games were ALL tight and seemed to come down to the last minute.

Correct on buying the lights. I don't know if in full, or in lieu of normal game payment, but I clearly remember the network buying the lights.
