Clemson has been cranking up the noise in practice the last two days as it tries to prepare for the noise inside The Dome at Syracuse on Saturday.
The top-ranked Tigers will play the Orange at 7:30 p.m., in a game that will be televised by ABC. Syracuse announced at the beginning of the week that Saturday’s game will be the program’s first sellout in 21 years. The Dome, formerly known as The Carrier Dome, officially holds 49,250 fans.
Because the noise is trapped inside and has nowhere to go, it can be extremely loud, especially when their fans start believing they can win, which is what happened two years ago when an unranked Orange team upset then No.
