The Clemson Tigers own college footballā€™s greatest entrance when they sprint down The Hill after rubbing Howardā€™s Rock. Itā€™s been dubbed the, ā€œMost exciting 25 seconds in college football,ā€ and if youā€™ve seen it, let alone in person, youā€™d be obliged to agree.

Being one of the most dominant programs in the last few years helps a tailgate, also. After capping off an undefeated season in 2018, the Tigers ran the table in the postseason to finish 15-0 ā€“ the first team to do so in the College Football Playoff era.

The tailgating doesnā€™t stop when the games start, though, as Clemson continues to allow pass-outs which grant fans an opportunity to leave and re-enter Memorial Stadium. Theyā€™re subject to security screenings, but thatā€™s the price you have to pay.

The Tigers host Georgia Tech, Texas A&M, Charlotte, Florida State, Boston College, Wofford and Wake Forest in 2019. Another undefeated home trek could place Clemson atop the ACC.
