Review:
The Clemson Memorial Stadium is known locally as Death Valley, and is home to the Clemson Tigers’ NCAA Division I football team. Built in 1942, the stadium has undergone several expansions over the years, and is now the largest in the Atlantic Coast Conference, seating 81,500 fans. Clemson has a 74% winning percentage at Death Valley. The nickname dates back to at least the 1950’s. It’s origins due to the cemetery on the hill that once overlooked the stadium, and a quote from a competing foot ball quote who once said he was “taking his team to Death Valley” where they’d surely lose to Clemson. Clemson Memorial Stadium was home of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers during their inaugural season in 1995, before they moved to their own stadium in Charlotte.
