Like I said, you are nothing but a smart a$$ and troll. It takes 40 to 45 minutes to Clem depending on where you go. I've got my most recent trip history saved. Grow up boy and stop the stupid trolling.I dont doubt that. It takes my grandmother 10 mins just to get out of bed.
Doesnt change the fact its 29 miles.
This is as dumb a post as I've seen in years.Lol wow
The game is in greenville for one reason only. Clemson coach jack complained about it being anywhere else because of travel. That is a fact.
Ray is too nice let them host 2 games in the upstate.
This guy is a total clown!!!This is as dumb a post as I've seen in years.
Never said Greenville rules!!! Can your little pee brain read boy? So ignorant!Tailgatecock....You're hilarious! Greenville doesn't rule over anybody, much less Charleston. The whole state really has an inferiority complex, when it comes to Charleston. Seventy-five percent of the history of this state occurred in Charleston. Number one tourist destination in North America, four years in a row. Number three food city in the country. People really would laugh at you, if you claimed that Greenville competes.
So 2 hours from greenville?Come by and see us Saturday. Birthday festivities will ensue. We're leaving the house at 630. Meeting the group at Chapin shortly thereafter. Should be up there 830ish at the latest.
Than stop the stupid posts and smart ass remarks.yawn. Come on children. Lets talk about the facts here and stop the personal attacks.
What stupid post?Than stop the stupid posts and smart ass remarks.
Read my posts! Good God. I just made the trip and it was 45 minutes and your response was something about your damn grandma. Grow up!What stupid post?
Where i google the distance between cities? That what you seem to melting down about now.
LOL im not making this stuff up old man. Just because it take you longer to do something doesnt change the facts here.Read my posts! Good God. I just made the trip and it was 45 minutes and your response was something about your damn grandma. Grow up!
God almighty you are one strange dude. Google your crap all you want. I went to dung Valley. 45 minute trip per my app. Been to WB to many times. 1hr 20 min no bad traffic. Argue your Google numbers all you want. Make the trips yourself and then you will look even more foolish than you already are. Don't respond to any more of my posts or I will email the mods. Get lost!!!!LOL im not making this stuff up old man. Just because it take you longer to do something doesnt change the facts here.

Good lord!Oh brother.....This is a waste of time. Every time I mention something, Batgirl starts to talk about her experience. Here's a little tip.....All of the Gamecock and Tater fans don't live between Columbia and Pickens County. What you're trying to tell me is....Clemson University and the University of South Carolina don't really care about their fans on the coast. If we want to see the rivalry, we need to get in our car and drive for hours....just the way it is? Like I said....what a bunch of asshats.
I've never felt Greenville was home field for Clem. Have you ever been to the game? Doubt it. Upstate is freaking loaded with Gamecocks and the baseball game is usually 50% Gamecock fans. Stop the stupid comments unless you've actually been to a game.Neutral game should be in Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Rock Hill, and then maybe Greenville. Shame on us for not insisting this is not moved around.
Just to review: the reasons people put out there why the game was in greeenville EVERY year.
It has the biggest stadium: FALSE it the smallest that put out bids for the game.
It had the highest BID: FALSE it had the lowest bid.
It is a "neutral" site: FALSE the city was used to host Clemson men basketball home games just this year. And has hosted clemson home games in the past.
Its about the same travel for the schools: FALSE its 30 miles from clemson and over 100 miles from carolina.
yawn. Come on children. Lets talk about the facts here and stop the personal attacks.
So 2 hours from greenville?
Guess you dont live in charleston! Shocked to hear this!!!!! LOL
Greenville is not a vacation destination. It is not supposed to be. But it's a heck of a better place to live for me. My daughter's family loves Charleston and they are sailers. I prefer the mountains but enjoy both. I can live anywhere I like and prefer the Greenville area. The only thing I really miss are those Palmetto Bugs. Damn I wish we had a few million of those.
did u say cake we hope to be gathered @ macs by 11- 11-30, hope to catch u.........in case I miss u outside where u sittin' ?Come by and see us Saturday. Birthday festivities will ensue. We're leaving the house at 630. Meeting the group at Chapin shortly thereafter. Should be up there 830ish at the latest.
Actually, it is in fact a tourist destination. Most Greenville tourists, unlike the primarly Charleston allure which is historical or culinary, is due to the exceptional job Greenville does in promoting festivals and events.
For instance, last month Greenville hosted a major cycling road race:
GREENVILLE SPRING SERIES
This Saturday, it is the Reedy River Rivalry. The Drive is promoting the event as a family fun place to be. The stadium, as I said above is modeled in the exact dimensions of Fenway, is a must visit if you love minor league baseball.
Clearly, other factors were at play in Greenville winning the bid against Charleston and MB. The fan experience offered and the lower cost of travel by Clemson were also factors. I don't think it was a foregone conclusion as the Sapakoff piece suggests. He is just bitter. It was a combination of reasons, including the fact that Greenville is actually a very nice place to visit. No reason for Charleston folks to be envious.
Lol you said leaving the HOUSE at 630am. You got busted.Because it's not possible that I'm driving up for tonight's game, and staying in Columbia before driving to Greenville tomorrow. SMH. See...it can be done even if you live on the coast, if it's important enough to you.
Again...enjoy your Saturday at home.
Those 29 miles aren't interstate miles, either. It takes 45 minutes to drive from Greenville to clemsux....unless you're traveling from Easley.Like I said, you are nothing but a smart a$$ and troll. It takes 40 to 45 minutes to Clem depending on where you go. I've got my most recent trip history saved. Grow up boy and stop the stupid trolling.
Nice try. But not busted at all. My PARENTS' house. I live and work West Ashley in Charleston.Lol you said leaving the HOUSE at 630am. You got busted.
Well, key lime pie, but come on by.d
did u say cake we hope to be gathered @ macs by 11- 11-30, hope to catch u.........in case I miss u outside where u sittin' ?
atl-cock....Do you have a problem with reading comprehension? It's not about a BID. It's obvious that Greenville got the game, after offering the lowest bid. How are the other cities going to improve on their bid, when they already had a better bid? Another thing...The Riverdogs don't own Riley Park, the City of Charleston does. My guess is the Pelicans don't own that stadium in MB either. Minor league teams won't be involved in any future bids. This is about the fans in other areas of the state, getting an opportunity to see the rivalry up close. I'm not sure what's so difficult to understand. I can see why the Taters say we have some mental midgets in this forum. You can't fix stupid....so you people are doomed.
Okay, here is another reason why USC prefers Greenville, travel. So you are in Columbia on Friday night, after the game (do not know this for sure) you travel to Greenville to spend the night. Play the afternoon game and go back to your hotel, and travel to Clemson the next morning to play the last game of the series. Now for example, you play in Charleston instead of Greenville. So where is the first game played (needs to be in Clemson or Charleston)? So say in Clemson, USC travels up to Clemson on Friday, plays the game, travel home after the game. Play in Columbia on Saturday afternoon, then travel to Charleston after the game. Play in Charleston on Sunday afternoon, then travel back to Columbia.
So players bus rides are as follows:
Play in Greenville - 4.5 hours
Play in Charleston - 8.5 hours
If you play elsewhere, you need to play during the week. Only have the 2 games on the weekend.
I think we can give this argument up. Those two are so stuck up about Charleston that they cannot get it. I love Charleston. I love Greenville. Its blatantly obvious the game is better off in Greenville. No one here suggests it shouldn't move around, but until somewhere can pull it off the way Greenville does, it ain't happening. Again, I hope Myrtle Beach can in the future, as it would be a good time as well. Until then, see all of the guys and gals with open minds in Greenville this weekend. It'll be a fun game as always!
The only time it wasnt in greenville it was a friday night game in charleston. No one ever had the saturday game beside greenville. Even then you have a huge parking lot where people tail gated in charleston on friday.I think we can give this argument up. Those two are so stuck up about Charleston that they cannot get it.

that not correct the team doesnt stay in hotels. They travel back.Okay, here is another reason why USC prefers Greenville, travel.

Poeple in this thread said just that. Go back and look.Nobody said anything about stadium capacity.
Nobody said anything about bid $$$.
It is a neutral site. It's apparently tough for you, but please do not confuse a basketball arena with a baseball diamond operated by different organizations.
Of course Greenville is closer to Clemson than it is to Columbia (at least I think you meant Columbia when you stated "Carolina"). Where did you come up with that addle-brained piece of geography?
If the USC athletic department felt that playing in Fluor Field would compromise the neutrality, they'd have pulled out of the deal.
Yes, the initial idea was to rotate the game around the state, and I can appreciate the significance of doing so. I might suggest that if you would truly like to see the game move around (and not just complain) that you contact the Riverdogs and Pelicans front offices expressing your interest and support. Suggest they send representatives to Greenville though 2018 to see what's appealing so that they can make better bids for 2019 and beyond.
Greenville is a neutral site. If it were a home field advantage for clemsux, the Carolina fans would be sitting on the lawn and only have access to the worst seats. Plus, we'd be heavily outnumbered. Neither is true.The only time it wasnt in greenville it was a friday night game in charleston. No one ever had the saturday game beside greenville. Even then you have a huge parking lot where people tail gated in charleston on friday.
That friday night game in charleston was the best game in the series in many, many years.
that not correct the team doesnt stay in hotels. They travel back.
That the reason clemson was crying about the game in charleston because they did have to stay in hotels.
Poeple in this thread said just that. Go back and look.
We could play the game in clemson and if they offer the ticket sales the way they do in greenville we would have more fans. Doesnt change the fact its not a neutral site.
The game is in greenville for one reason only. Jack didnt want to go anywhere else.
That why it won with the lowest bid and the smallest stadium.
This same thread get posted every year and it always go the same way.

The OP wanted to know why Greenville is considered a neutral site. As mentioned, Carilina fans usually outnumber the clemsux fans. Plus, Carolina has equal seating. It's not like the Carolina fans are stuck with the leftover tickets (like it would be at clemsux). Just another thought.
Another thing, thank God Greenville is not in Pickens county!
It should be as follows:
Even Year: Carolina, Greenville, Clemson
Odd Year: Clemson, Charleston, Columbia
Greenville, SC - The Clemson University baseball team will hold the final game of its 2015 Orange and Purple Series at Fluor Field, home of the Greenville Drive, on Sunday, November 8th at 2:00 PM. This marks the third consecutive year the Tigers will conclude their annual intrasquad series in Downtown Greenville. Admission to the game is complimentary, and the Main Street gate at Fluor Field will open at noon before the teams take batting practice.Greenville is a neutral site. If it were a home field advantage for clemsux, the Carolina fans would be sitting on the lawn and only have access to the worst seats. Plus, we'd be heavily outnumbered. Neither is true.
If clemsux played all of their home games at Flour Field, then it wouldn't be considered a neutral site. The only urange & purple and tigger paws are worn by the clemsux fans, not on the field or seats or plastered all over the stadium. They don't control the music or the the PA system.
As for jackleg, I don't think he had that much power. He was a crybaby, but Tanner stood up to him.
Correct. It does go the same way every year. People make reasoned, logical comments, and then someone like yourself makes wacko comments which have no basis in reality.
Bet clemson fans would be okay having the game in cola at sprint field. Yeah i bet.....

LOL
The fan fest that hosted throughout the state? Yeah exactly the same. LOL Love the spin in here.The Orange and Purple games serve as Clemson's intrasquad series to cap off team practice for the fall. The baseball team will be divided up into two squads and play against each other with bragging rights on the line.
The clemsux team is playing each other & it's free. It's basically practice and they're letting the rednecks come watch. That in no way gives clemsux a home field advantage when we play them there. We have just as many seats as clemsux, front row seats, etc. Plus we don't have to drive over those stupid paws on the road and arent subjected to urange and purple and tigger paws all over the stadium.
This is basically a clemsux baseball version of Carolina's Fan Fest, which was also at Fluor Field.
It takes more than proximity to clemsux to create a home field advantage.
You're doing some pretty good spinning, yourself. An open practice is not the same as playing every home game..a real game...against other teams, on your own field. And do you think clemsux would let us hold our Fan Fest in their stadium?? Haha.The fan fest that hosted throughout the state? Yeah exactly the same. LOL Love the spin in here.
Everyone gets it. people in the up state of course dont see the problem. Sure clemson fans would have no problem the game being hosted in cola at the very large sprint field.
Who the hell wants to go to Charleston? Charleston sucks!
