GREENVILLE – Clemson University and the city of Greenville formally announced a partnership Thursday to host 2015-16 men’s basketball home games and commencement ceremonies, beginning in August. The announcement took place at the brand new Clemson entrance at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
Clemson’s basketball team will play its home games in Greenville next season – Littlejohn Coliseum renovations begin next month – before returning to the campus to play the 2016-2017 season. During that period Clemson’s commencement ceremonies will also take place in the arena.
On Thursday city leaders, Clemson President James Clements, Athletic Director Dan Radakovich and Clemson head basketball coach Brad Brownell took part in the ribbon cutting ceremony at the arena.
