When Clemson announced on Thursday it will allow a capacity of 19,000 fans at Memorial Stadium, it also asked that those fans refrain from tailgating.
The release stated parking areas will open three hours prior to announced kickoff times and fans are asked to refrain from tailgating during the 2020 season. Tents and trailers are prohibited.
During a Zoom call with the media on Friday, Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich was asked why the school is asking fans not to tailgate this coming season.
“It is really one of those things where we need to protect the environment of the campus,” he said.
