With college football season officially over, we are all left reminiscing until next fall. Clemson was voted as having the best tailgates in the south. There's a few things that makes our pre-game festivities the best.

1. Orange. Lots and lots of orange.

We aren't kidding when we say Clemson fans bleed orange. You'll see orange outfits, tents, cars, flags, and much more. Pretty much everything in the city is covered in orange and tiger paws.

2. Purple

We have to have something to use when we run out of orange.

3. The RV lot

The motorhomes roll into town on Thursday or Friday and start their tailgating weekend early.

4. Clemson themed cars

While most cars have their Clemson magnets and a tiger tail hanging from the back, some cars take it to the next level.

5. The Kappa Sigma tailgate

It's impossible to walk from downtown to the stadium without passing the Kappa Sigma tailgate. It's usually filled with a live band and lots of students getting ready for the game.

6. The best set-ups

Every tailgate is equipped with TVs, satellites, grills, and lots of coolers.

7. Tiger paws painted on everyone's faces

It doesn't matter if you're a little kid, a college student, or an adult- tiger paws are the best accessory to every outfit.

8. Esso Club parties

This restaurant has been a part of Clemson for almost 85 years. Every game-day weekend they always make sure to have lots of food and live music.

9. Cornhole games

This game is the only true way to figure out who the "King (or Queen) of the Tailgate" is.

10. Dedicated fans

Clemson fans are some of the best in the nation. They drive from all over the country to tailgate before the game and cheer on the tigers!
