Backyard Bistro has some limited public parking but will fill up early.
NC State football guide says this: GENERAL PUBLIC PARKING IS LOCATED IN THE WESTCHASE OFFICE COMPLEX ($15) (WESTCHASE BLVD. AND BLUE RIDGE RD.) AND NC STATE VET SCHOOL PARKING DECK (CVM) ($15).
That's kind of far IMO.
2 years ago we parked in the parking lots of the office park just west of Backyard Bistro at the corner of Edwards Mill and Kingdom Way. Still a decent walk but lots of Clemson folks there.
Also Triangle Clemson Club is doing an event in Cary with a free shuttle to the stadium:
