re: Crowd factor

Did anyone go to the 2008 Clemson game at the Georgia Dome? Bama fans filled up their half of the stadium two hours before kickoff. We were hungry and itching to get that game started. Meanwhile the Clemson side was completely empty until right at kickoff. It was awesome to see.

8 years later, the roles were reversed. 4 Titles later, we are just in a different place than other fanbases. The number of Clemson fans in Tampa was simply mindboggling. That explains why the ticket market was so small this time and that there were literally no tickets for sale outside the stadium.
