Tiger Band, The Hill, Howard’s Rock and Tiger Walk are all great Clemson Football traditions.  Some would argue that the one tradition missing from that list is Clemson Football Tailgating.  Tailgating at Clemson has been perfected into a great combination of fine art and high science.  From what you will cook, what games you play and what entertainment you provide, there is nothing quite like a Saturday of tailgating at Clemson football games.  For the nearly 12,000 IPTAY donors that purchase season tickets where you park is just as important as where you sit in the stadium seven times in the Fall.  The information below is available to you as you complete your 2012 football season ticket application in a few weeks and make your final giving decision before assignments are made in the Summer.

On Friday April 6, 2012, members of the athletic department, both students and faculty, volunteered to help Clemson University Libraries move boxes in preparation for the relocation of its offsite storage center to the Advanced Materials Center on campus. While the student-athletes are regularly recognized for their commitment to service and involvement in the community, the Clemson Athletics administration plays their part as well. Ranging from Athletic Director Terry Don Philips and Vickery Hall advisor Reggie Simpkins, to eight members of the men’s swim team; Clemson University Libraries had a nearly thirty volunteers. Kay Wall, Dean of Libraries, expressed her sincere appreciation for the members of Athletics who volunteered. “The enthusiastic group literally moved mountains (of paper), and we are thrilled to be ready for the next phase of the relocation, thanks to Athletics”. Clemson Athletics places a large importance on service and outreach, from facility tours to school assemblies, but this event really demonstrated the commitment from everyone.
