Clemson Athletics taking unusual steps to dry out grass lots

SUNSET, SC – The torrential downpours of the last two weeks have caused flooding all across the state of South Carolina, including severely damaging several of the grass lots used on game days in Clemson.

However, Clemson University and IPTAY are working around the clock to ensure that the lots will be operable by Saturday’s Homecoming contest against Boston College.

Graham Neff, Clemson’s’ Associate Athletic Director for Business Operations and CFO, talked with TigerNet today at Brad Brownell’s media golf outing at The Reserve and said the weather has been as bad as he’s ever seen, even comparing it to the 2009 season when it rained during every Clemson home game.
