Though Clemson sold out its allotted 20,000 tickets to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, the remaining 54,000 will more than likely be wearing Purple & Gold when the ACC’s Tigers face the homestanding LSU Tigers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Baton Rouge, home of LSU, is just 82 miles down 1-10 from New Orleans. So, it will feel like a road game for the Tigers from the state of South Carolina.
“This past game, honestly, there was a ton of Ohio State people there, so it’ll be — it might be a little bit more LSU than Clemson compared to Ohio State-Clemson, but even that game was probably 70-30 or close to it out in Arizona,” Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence said.
