Memorial Stadium, Clemson, Football stadium in Clemson, South Carolina, US.
Memorial Stadium houses the Clemson Tigers football team with a capacity of 81,500 seats and features the extensive WestZone complex for training facilities.
The stadium opened in 1942 to honor Clemson graduates who died in military service, despite opposition from departing coach Jess Neely.
Players enter games by rubbing Howard's Rock and running down the eastern hill while the band performs Tiger Rag and cannons fire.
The stadium contains multiple premium areas including the Masters Club, Bob Bradley Press Box, and Nieri Enrichment Center for student-athlete support.
The playing surface, named Frank Howard Field in 1974, sits in a valley next to a former university cemetery that influenced its Death Valley nickname.
