My vote is for a zip line

YESSSS! And then we could put the palmetto tree below it and hang the crescent from the zip line! It would look like it was floating!

It probably isn't financially possible, especially with all the spending we're doing. However, I have a friend that went to WVU and I remember him saying they had a monorail system on campus.

This is the dumbest idea in the history of civilization. It's always the ones with no money that want all the shit.

Calm down Warren Buffet. I'd gladly chip in to get this monorail started. I'm not on food stamps cheif.

Umm you want to leave The Willy Bee and build a new stadium? Are you mental?
After all the grass they just planted all over the place?

Dude if those backwoods hillbillies can make it happen if then I'd be embarrassed if Ray Ray couldn't get this project done. It's a priority IMO.

A ski lift may work too. Just connect it to the one in the fairgrounds.

Why not just dig up Willy B and move it close to campus? Use the levitation technology from the Palmetto and moon trophy.

I say make it a moving Cockaboose train. There is almost enough track already. I couldn't imagine it being out of the realm of possibility.

Hard enough getting to the Stadium now much less with another train.
Light rail sounds good but cost prohibitive.

Start the Monorail at the Horshoe, than take it all the way to the stadium, Disney World Style. It could make 2 or 3 stops at say, The Russle House, Bates Dorms and the Strom Thurmond building. Then it would loop around the stadium and drop off by the Cockaboozes. You could have the cheerleaders and Cocky on the monorail pumping people up. It might help bridge the gap between the stadium and campus. I know a lot of people have a problem with having our stadium off campus in a warehouse district. I don't, but some people do. STudents could use the monorail to go to class. Seems like an awesome idea.

That engineer obviously got his degree from Clemson

If the engineers could design a couple loop-2-loops and whatnot, it could be used year round as a carowinds alternative. It would help possibly bring it to positive cashflow. win-win

The students could use it to go to and from class. PLus it would likely become a tourist destination. That would help the whole city.
