CLEMSON, SC – Clemson Athletics received approval Thursday from the South Carolina Department of Commerce to welcome spectators at home events for fall sports, including Memorial Stadium, Historic Riggs Field and Jervey Gym. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster outlined a procedure for exceptions to the collection of restrictions in an executive order filed Aug. 2.
“We are grateful for the careful review and approval of Governor McMaster, the South Carolina Department of Commerce and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control for our plan to host fans at our locations this fall,” said athletics director Dan Radakovich. “Our IPTAY and athletic staff have grown weary and have extensively looked at the gameday experience.”
Clemson sought input from external experts in medical, public health and facility planning during the process, such as the University Strategic Operations Group. With the information available today, we are confident in our ability to enable fans to be safe at games, which is incredibly important to our student-athletes, coaches, fans and local community. We will continue to monitor guidance and adjust as needed. “
Clemson Athletics and IPTAY will reach out to donors who have not opted for the redshirt option via email on Friday at 10 a.m. with more details on football ticket and parking availability. Detail on Premium seats will also be addressed immediately.
As part of the plan, the capacity of Clemson’s Memorial Stadium will be reduced to about 19,000 fans, based on six meters of social distance under outdoor seating. Death Valley’s regular capacity is 81,500. Fans will primarily sit in pods of two and four connected guests through the stadium with distance between pods. Many will open three hours before announced start times and tailgating and tents as large groups are prohibited.
In addition, capacity for volleyball at Jervey Gym will be 250 fans, and football games at Riggs Field will be up to about 1,000 fans.
Clemson Athletic officials and IPTAY staff considered 10 different seating configurations for Memorial Stadium. The proposed mixed model offers both the opportunity for social distancing in the stands and the opportunity to include as many IPTAY donors and students as possible during the season. IPTAY donors will be allocated seats in order of giving level and priority points, with caps on the amount of tickets available for each account.
