First-Time Visitor Fan Guide: #NDvsCLEM

FIRST-TIME FAN GUIDE

We want to welcome each of our first-time visitors to Clemson this weekend, including Notre Dame fans and Tiger fans visiting for IPTAY Day. We’re excited to welcome you to Memorial Stadium.

Our athletic department and the entire Clemson Family prides itself on our hospitality and the unique experience that is gameday at Death Valley.

To assist you, we’ve compiled information that should be helpful as you find your way around Clemson.
