Clemson Memorial Stadium

Hotels near Clemson Memorial Stadium, Clemson, United States .

Anyone from south of the Mason-Dixon line knows about Clemson Memorial Stadium, also known as Death Valley to college students and football enthusiasts. home of the Clemson Tigers, a football team popular enough to have that stadium packed decade after decade, the stadium is just as much a part of the city's football history as the wins and the losses at this point in time.

According to legend, the stadium was built at the advice of former head coach Jess Neely, who was pretty much a legend around those parts. He said that there was no reason to ever get tricked into building a big stadium, and the university complied. One of the reasons that The Clemson Memorial Stadium is so popular is because it brings back the excitement of 1970s college football, when an intimate, old-fashioned stadium that wasn't sponsored by a cell phone company was the focus of everyone's weekends.

The stadium has grown with the university over the years, with end zone seats and an upper deck being added to accommodate as many fans as possible. The stadium's nickname comes from, depending on who is explaining it, the field's physical location in a valley, or the fact that another college football coach is known for calling The Clemson Memorial Stadium because his team couldn't ever manage to score a point there. Either way, Clemson fans definitely embraced the nickname, and it stuck.

Getting tickets to attend a game at The Clemson Memorial Stadium can be tough, because Clemson fans are an aggressive and passionate bunch. A number of pretty unshakable famous college football atheletes have said that this is the loudest stadium they've ever played in, and the effect of 80.000 Clemson fans bearing down on top of you definitely psyched out a number of famous college players, even those from notably loud programs like The Florida Gators.
