Tour Tuesday: Memorial Stadium 🏈⁣
Memorial Stadium is where the Tigers play! Since its opening game in September 1942, our football stadium has seen 328 Tiger wins. Here are a few more interesting facts about the stadium: ⁣
-Its seating capacity is over 80,000. ⁣
-Its nickname, “Death Valley,” comes from the 1940s Presbyterian College head coach Lonnie McMillan, referring to repeatedly losing to the Tigers in Clemson.⁣
-Frank Howard Field is named after the legendary coach and his 39 years of dedication to the Clemson coaching staff. ⁣
-The football team’s tradition of rubbing Howard’s Rock as they run down The Hill began in 1967 after the rock was given to Coach Frank Howard from a friend who picked it up in Death Valley, California. ⁣
-Memorial Stadium has ranked in the top 10 in the nation for stadium experience. ⁣
-This season, the stadium flaunts a brand-new 7,125-square-foot video board. ⁣
