Clemson Game Time

[WhatTheHeel?]

When do you think they'll release the kickoff time for the Clemson game? We're going with some friends and would need to book a hotel room if it's an 8:00 p.m. kick since we're about 2.5 hours away, not including getting out of the stadium and parking lot.

I worry about waiting too long on booking a room since I imagine this game is/will be a sell out?

It all depends on UNC and if we can keep winning...The only other big game that weekend is UVA vs Notre Dame and it’s time is set for 3:30.

They usually announce game times two Mondays before the game. Today they announced the time for App State, which is 3:30 pm. Clemson will probably be announced next Monday.

An 8:00 kick off would be great since that probably means we are 4-0. I just want no noon games.

I’d say there’s less than 1% chance it’s a noon game. Clemson is in the Bama tier with a prime 3:30 or night game every week unless maybe against an FCS team. If we beat wake there’s a pretty good chance it could be another night game.

OP I’d go ahead and book a hotel now. You can always cancel prior if it doesn’t end up being a night game and you don’t want to stay the night.

I always go to the truck stop and ask for something to keep me awake. Only costs about $4 and I am home by 3am. . It takes about two days to fall asleep, but you don't have to pay for a motel room!

Saban is royally pissed that Bama has a Noon kickoff versus Southern Miss on sept. 21. So TV could do it to Clemson as well.

But USM is not in a Major conference, and does not have a Hall of Fame coach.

Thanks everyone. I'll try booking a room (if it's not already too late) and check the cancellation policy.

I don't get to many games. Last time I went to a Clemson game, we lost 10-8. It was the year Kelvin Bryant had something like 15 touchdowns in the first three games and then got injured against Georgia Tech. Been a while...

Many places have a generous cancellation policy that will allow you to cancel up until the day of your stay. Definitely good advice to go ahead and find a room. Good luck!

I booked a Microtel Inn at the junction of 85 & 40. My wife didn't want the Red Roof Inn, even though they'll leave the light on for us. And I didn't want to stay in Durham... Had to pay $13/more for a free cancellation room, but $90 wasn't too bad and it's still cheaper than RRI.

Well done! I never use motels because of the price. $90 sounds incredibly good!

That's Motel 6. How could you forget Tom Bodett?

You do come across as more of the back alley type.

Dang that's right. Where is the embarrassed smiley?

LOL Don't drink. Good plan otherwise.

Its a good price because it's not in Chapel Hill. Those were almost all full. Except Red Roof Inn. Where they DON'T leave the light on for ya.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Red Roof Inn. Where they DON'T leave the light on for ya

That's probably for the best.... you DON'T really want to see what's in those rooms, do ya?

I saw that and I cancelled the reservation. We'll be in our own bed after beating Clemson.
