Tailgate opening times and concert start times will be announced closer to each event and may vary based on kickoff times.
The Stacks is a full-service tailgate destination located in the new greenspace created on the former motor pool site, a short walk from Memorial Stadium. The Stacks will feature live performances before six of seven home games this season, along with The ACC Huddle airing live before the North Carolina game on Sept. 19.
Admission to the concerts is free.
“Clemson Saturdays already start hours before kickoff. What we have not always had is a place built for those hours — one destination where you can hear a band, eat well, find your people and walk to the stadium. That is what The Stacks is, and the music is our invitation to come see it,” said Michael Drake, CEO of Clemson Ventures.
