Remember when you were a kid and any time it snowed all the kids in your neighborhood would flock to the spot with the best hill to go sledding down? Maybe it was at someone’s house. Maybe it was down the street itself. Maybe you made your way to the nearest golf course. Or maybe you made your way to the football stadium to sled down the bleachers. At Clemson, Memorial Stadium is perfect for some fun in the snow, as the hill inside the stadium makes for the perfect sledding opportunity. Clemson players and coaches made their way to Memorial Stadium last night, and of course head coach Dabo Swinney was leading the fun.

For Swinney, there was just one thing that had to be done.
Most places don't have built in hills for sled riding...

Notice that Clemson had the scoreboard operating during all of this. Not only does the scoreboard alone provide light in the stadium, but it also is boasting about winning the Orange Bowl. Don’t think for one second that video of players and coaches having fun in the snow while showing off an Orange Bowl victory is not a nice recruiting tool. This is an excellent way to show potential future Tigers that Clemson gives you a chance to win and have some fun as well.
