OT: Attending a game as a neutral

[EngDawg]

I'm going to try and make a game at Clemson this year, will only be my second nonMSU game. Do you guys normally wear MSU gear, or plain cloths in these situations? Has anybody ever been to a game at Clemson? If so, how was it?

White, or if going with friends, sort of what they wear. WHITE.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Agree on white.

Buy a t shirt or hat for the home team. Adopt said team. Emerse yourself and have a blast. Hit up the tailgates/bars (if pro sports) that are team bars.

Thats what i do across all sports at all levels. Ive never had a bad time

I went to an Ole Miss, LSU game in 2003, couldn't find a shirt that said Injury Plagued Tie.

I've been to plenty of neutral games in my life. I've gone to a few Clemson home games. Clemson has a great game day atmosphere. Think going to an away game at Auburn. I grew up in the same town in FL as Clemson superfan Clemson Tom. He always has a huge tailgate there, and always welcomes outsiders. He's nuts but a good time. Also, wear your State gear. It'll make for some great conversation.

Wear your State stuff, it makes for a conversation starter. If you wear white you just blend in and if it's a button down you could possibly be mistaken for a Bearshark.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Take your cowbell for sure.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Camo, of course.

And maybe your John Deere cap.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

I've been to several A&M games that State was not in, and wear my MSU gear. Not as big of a deal though since they are maroon also. I usually get some conversations going though.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Wear some SMU gear to an Ole Miss game. The looks would be pretty funny.

 

[Dogariffic]

"Robertson was right"
Might start a conversation or two.

 

[MedDawg]

Wear your State stuff, it makes for a conversation starter.

I agree with this. Wear your State stuff to a neutral game, unless you are going to root for the visiting team. Then you just look like a dick. Like seeing a guy decked in LSU gear cheering for Auburn against State in Starkville.

Wearing State gear (or any other teams gear for that matter) to a game not involving them is dorky. Wear Clempson gear (or whoever you're there to support) or a neutral color.

When in Rome.

when I go to Texas games I wear a UT shirt. aTm gets on my nerves so I just go with the flow. if they ask me I tell em I'm grindin for my state.

I've gone to tons of neutral games, and I just wear regular clothes. Sometimes, if I'm shopping before the game and find a home team shirt I really like, I will buy it and wear it, but usually I just wear whatever is comfortable. It's funny to see people trying to figure out which team you are supporting, so if I can I will find a shirt that vaguely represents the colors of both teams.

There is no way I would go out and buy an orange shirt just to attend a Clemson game. When will you ever wear it again? I went to the UGA-Kentucky game a couple years ago, and I threw on a red polo just to make my hosts happy.

I was at the "Kick 6" Iron Bowl and I wore a gray shirt with some maroon stripes, blue jeans, and a blue hat. I was sitting in an Alabama section and at halftime people were demanding to know which team I was supporting.

The only time I wore MSU gear to a neutral game was the first ever SEC Championship game in Birmingham. I figured it was fair game to represent any SEC school.

 

[OneParticularHarbor]

Completely agree

Wearing State gear (or any other teams gear for that matter) to a game not involving them is dorky. Wear Clempson gear (or whoever you're there to support) or a neutral color.

At the (of all places) C-USA baseball tournament final in Biloxi in May (Rice vs. USM) there was a guy walking around completely dressed in Bammer gear- and I mean he went full Gump. He might as well have carried a "Look At This Dork" sign around.

Figured I would add, if you're buying tickets outside the stadium, wear home team colors.
