What is IPTAY Hospitality?

Established in 1934 to give Clemson University's athletic program the support it needed, IPTAY (letters initially standing for "I pay ten a year") has become one of nation's most successful athletic fundraising organizations. IPTAY donors provide millions of dollars in scholarships for student athletes and non-student athletes alike. The organization has also provided substantial support for programs and facilities that help Clemson Athletics continue to remain among the best in college sports. There are more than 17,000 active members of IPTAY around the country who devote time and money to support Clemson Athletics, and they are passionate about their Tigers!

IPTAY Hospitality serves Clemson's most dedicated donors on the most exciting days of the year for Tigers, GAME DAYS! And it's our dedicated team of FANGINEERS that make game days happen.

What is a FANGINEER?

IPTAY Hospitality FANGINEERS play a vital role in the success of the premium seating operation for Clemson Athletics.

FANGINEERS serve as attendants and goodwill ambassadors to individuals, families, and companies that have purchased tickets to premium seating areas while maintaining the operational policies of each space. FANGINEERS are liaisons between premium area patrons, catering attendants, maintenance staff, custodial attendants, IPTAY staff members, and Clemson Athletics personnel.
