If you are coming from downtown Greenville, GPS should take you highway 123 into Clemson. If you turn left on college avenue from 123 to go into downtown clemson, you'll see plenty of pay to park options. Can't guarantee they won't be price gouging, and I'd recommend getting there earlier rather than later as these will fill up quickly also.

All of them are full of TVs but I'd probably say Charleston Sports Pub or TTTs has the most TVs

Any bar you can get into downtown will be decent but they will all be crowded. Tiger Town Tavern (TTTs) and TDs are staples but they will be crowded. Study Hall is another one that is downtown that is decent. There is also a Charleston Sports Pub.


I've noticed that Clemson has two places founded by LSU students, Walk On's and Raising Canes.

Is there anything Clemson doesn't copy LSU on?

I think copying two restaurants is a fair trade for allowing you guys to copy Death Valley!

What time would you recommend being at an Area lot to get a decent spot to tailgate? I have a parking pass for C-1.

I don't have a parking pass. I was planning on parking somewhere downtown and walking to the game. Is this a horrible idea?

Hey there LSU fans… I have a parking pass for sale to Lot 13: Neiri Family Alumni and visitors center ( LINK Parking map) It offers a shuttle to the stadium, but isn’t a long walk (0.8 of a mile) either. Adjacent to the lot is the Madren Center (LINK ) and Walker golf course which offers two restaurants and bars along with outdoor seating and large patio area beside the lake. The Madren center also has indoor proper bathrooms unlike most of the tailgating around the stadium that only offers porta potty’s. It a unique spot that has great amenities so one doesn’t have to set up a big extravagant tailgate… even though I know yall like to, and there’s space to be able to do that there too.

It’s a digital pass that I will have to transfer to you, by email or phone. I can also meet you anytime from now till the game if you feel better about making the transaction in person. The passes are going for around $200 right now. Send me a direct message if you are interested

Lots will open at 8:00 a.m. so I'd say the closer to 8:00 the better. I'd say no later that 10:00. C-1 is mainly parking lot but does have two grass medians that run through it. So just depends on what you want. No matter where you park in the lot, you should have room for one 10x10 tent behind your car. But if you prefer to park on grass, even though the medians aren't the flattest, I'd imagine those spots will go first.

I also imagine the spots closest to the exit might go quick as that is a large lot and Perimeter Rd is one of the main ways out for a lot of people so it can be a parking lot getting out.

Not a terrible idea, but I will say you won't be able to park directly downtown. I think I stated in an earlier post, you can get close to downtown. You'll want to come in on Highway 123 and turn onto college avenue (runs right through downtown Clemson) and you'll see plenty of signs for day of parking right before you get into downtown clemson.

Are you saying that we need to make a donation to that church to park there? Or is that part of the IPTAY benefits? If so, it is split between the IPTAY and paid parking? Any idea of how much? Im cool with donating to the church to park... just want to bring the right amount of $
To clarify l, this is an IPTAY lot. It used to be general parking but due to new buildings on campus it’s now for Clemson donors,

Can you walk around with an open beverage on campus on game days?

Downtown Clemson, no. Cops will give you a hard time and ask you to pour out your drink.

All of campus, yes. It’s all tailgating. Campus would be considered anything between Hwy 93 and Perimeter Rd. There will be numerous tailgate lots across these streets so the line is blurred a little. When crossing these streets with an open container just play it cool if a cop is around. They’ll be more concerned with directing traffic.

We're staying across the pond at the Lakeside Lodge which is only 2.2 miles away from the stadium. That's not a difficult walk at all but I don't see a foot path across either of the two bridges. I see a parking garage right behind Chipotle and the Larry Abernathy waterfront park behind the post office has a 10-12 spots. What are my chances of parking at either of these two locations around noon on gameday?

On second thought, I'll probably try to park on Friday night and get an Uber back to the hotel and then Uber back downtown on Saturday.

Is there parking near Walk-Ins that's within 45 minutes? We are not planning on going to the game, but that area looks like there's stuff to do and places to watch...

I live in Greenville. You are going to love the Grand Bohemian. Rick Erwin’s is a good steak place. Walk around downtown, weather should be good this week.

I wouldn't recommend this. I know for sure the parking garage is pay to park, first come first serve on gamedays. You'll run the risk of getting towed Friday night. I'm not sure about the abernathy waterfront park.

Check with LakeSide Lodge..........I believe they may have a gameday shuttle for their guests.
