Read Update »

I've heard stories that at some point it was to be paved.

Early 1970s I believe, plans were to make it a parking lot (not sure if whole field or just part of it). Students blocked construction equipment from gaining access to Bowman and R.C. Edwards and BOTs relented.

Or so the story goes.

As a 1973 grad, I can say without hesitation that this never happened while I was in school at Clemson. And I subsequently lived and worked in Clemson until 1998 and it never happened during that period either.

OK, thanks ...

... like I said it was just a story I heard once.

Like many stories, it probably didn't have much if any factual information in it.

I remember when there was football gameday parking on it

they stopped that in the 80's I think.

Id love to see another baseball game on Bowman.

Just a preseason game or something, but it would be awesome to see a Varsity sport played there again.
