MESSAGE FROM DAN RADAKOVICH
Tiger Fans,
What a time to be a Tiger! Were excited to welcome each of our fans
back to Memorial Stadium for the 2017 football season. We know
your passion for, and support of Clemson Football makes a huge
impact on the experience of everyone around Clemson on gamedays
in the fall. We hope this Fan Guide provides valuable information to
make your seven trips to Death Valley enjoyable.
As many of you are well aware, the process of getting 80,000-plus fans into and out of
Clemson on gameday is a challenge and were committed to making it as fan friendly and
safe as possible. Were constantly looking for ways to make your experience better, and
encourage you to contact us with your thoughts at fanfeedback@clemson.edu. Your sug-
gestions, requests and comments have led to numerous changes and improvements youll
nd around Memorial Stadium today as we continue to work on creating the best possible
environment for each of our fans and visitors.
Please take a moment to read through this guide prior to your rst trip back to Clemson, as
weve updated several areas that may be of interest to you in your preparation.
We look forward to seeing you again cheering on the Tigers in Death Valley, thank you for your
continued support of IPTAY and our football program.
Go Tigers!
Dann Radakovich
