Special Notice Come Early Clemson Ticket Manager Van Hilderbrand is urging fans to arrive in Clemson early on Saturday for the Tigers football opener with Georgia. Over 83,000 fans are expected for the game, the largest home opening day crowd in Clemson history and the largest crowd ever to see a Clemson vs. Georgia game in Memorial Stadium. Two years ago Clemson had a 12:00 noon start for a Homecoming game with North Carolina and many fans missed the first quarter, never mind kickoff because of the large attendance for the early game. With an early kickoff, fans tend to arrive at the same time. Hilderbrand is urging everyone to adjust their departure time so they can get to Clemson in time for kickoff. Clemson Injury Situation: Out-Todd McClinton, second-team defensive tackle due to feinting spells suffered during preseason. Will miss the entire season.
