Memorial Stadium, Clemson, Football stadium in Clemson, South Carolina, US.
Description
Memorial Stadium is a football arena in Clemson, South Carolina, that serves as home to the Clemson Tigers and holds more than 81,500 spectators. The playing surface rests in a valley surrounded by seating sections, and the WestZone provides training rooms and support spaces for the team.
History
The facility opened in 1942 as a memorial for university graduates who had died during military duty. Despite protests from coach Jess Neely, who soon left the program, construction went ahead and the site was completed that year.
Culture
The team runs down the eastern hill toward the field after touching Howard's Rock, which sits on a pedestal near the entrance. The band plays Tiger Rag during this moment, and cannons fire as the crowd responds from the seats around the valley.
Practical
The complex includes several zones for special guests, such as the Masters Club and the Bob Bradley Press Box. The Nieri Enrichment Center also offers support services for student-athletes across the grounds.
Did you know?
The playing surface received the name Frank Howard Field in 1974 and sits in a valley next to an old university cemetery. This placement beside the burial ground contributed to the Death Valley nickname that persists today.
