PRO FOOTBALL SPOTLIGHT : CLEMSON LACKS ONLY TALENT TO DEFEAT FLORIDA STATE
- Share via
Carolina played its final home game in Clemson, S.C., on Sunday. Its 72,000-seat Carolinas Stadium, otherwise known as the home that personal seat licenses built, will be ready in Charlotte, N.C., next season.
To a man, the players said they are happy to be rid of the 2 1/2-hour bus ride from Charlotte to the college campus for home games.
They also will have improved attendance, those mad-cap Charlotte residents having tripped over themselves to buy PSLs, assuring that everyone in the country will one day have to pay a fee for the right to buy a ticket.
All they have at Clemson is a stadium called Death Valley because the home team wins more than 70 percent of the time; Howard’s rock, which every Tiger player rubs on his way to the field for inspiration; and a sleepy little town with a bright orange tiger paw in almost every window.
Who would want to take a 2 1/2-hour bus ride to play there?
