Usually, the first home game at Clemson comes with a lot of fan fair.
There is the First Friday Parade, a tradition at Clemson where the cheerleaders, Rally Cats, Tiger Band, along with parade floats, parade from the front of the President’s House at the intersection of Cherry Road and Hwy. 93 and proceed up 93 towards downtown. The parade ends in front of Historic Riggs Field for a big pep rally.
On game day, of course, there is tailgating which normally begins hours and hours before the Clemson Football team makes its way to the stadium for Tiger Walk, a tradition started when Dabo Swinney took over as head coach in 2008.
