No one does GameDay like Clemson football fans. Here’s a look at a comprehensive breakdown of tailgating, GameDay experience and much more.

I was fortunate to have been able to attend the Clemson vs. Texas A&M game, a Tigers home contest. First off, the State of South Carolina is simply beautiful.

Yes, it is in the south, which equates to being a very hot place seven months out of the year. But it also has four seasons and this time of year some of the trees are turning colors just like the rest of the eastern portion of the United States. Lots of curved land in this part of the country as well.

Near Clemson is also quite a bit of water with lakes everywhere including Lake Hartwell, which has over 1,000 miles of shoreline. So the summertime also means an abundance of water activities that do not have anything to do with the beaches on the Atlantic Ocean.

Going to a game is more than simply paying for a ticket and showing up. There are things that must be done prior, during and after GameDay. Below is a guide to properly enjoy a home game.

We’ve broken this guide down into four parts: Pre-GameDay, Tailgating, GameDay and Game Experience.
