The facility was also brought into full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition to the renovations at Littlejohn Coliseum, the new Huckabee Annex houses a regulation practice court, a 3,860 suqare foot weight room, a 2,240 square foot training room, new men's and women's locker rooms and glass trophy display cases. The ticket office at Memorial Stadium will handle all ticket distribution, including general admission and student ticketing for the Duke and Morris Brown (1/11) games. General admission will-call is also located at the ticket office at Gate 9 at Memorial Stadium (corner of Centennial Blvd. and Avenue of Champions). Fans arriving at Sunday's game will notice pedestrian pathways bordered and designated by orange fencing. These pathways will be well-lighted from the roads (Centennial Blvd., Ravenel Rd., Perimeter Rd.). All three main entrances (North Gate, East Gate, West Gate) will be accessible for Sunday's game. Consistent with Clemson security measures, all bags are subject to search. Future changes and renovations that will be completed prior to the 2003-04 season include the installation of the permanent floor, completion of upholstered seating throughout the coliseum, new way-finding signage and seat numbering, completion of the concessions in the East bow, TV monitors throughout the concourse and completion of paving, landscaping and outdoor lighting. Portions of Littlejohn Coliseum remain under construction, and fans are asked to please dress accordingly.
