Clemson University’s renovations to Memorial Stadium are progressing as planned, with the first phase kicking off in November with demolition projects. 

Upgrades to the football stadium include the addition of the WestZone Concourse Club; a new video board, lights and sound; and the East Entry at Howard’s Rock.

“The first phase is scheduled to be completed prior to the 2022 football season. Phase II of the project, scheduled to begin after the 2022 season, includes an update to Lot 5  (Rogers Family Lot) and updates to the team areas of the first level of the WestZone,” Clemson said in an update on its athletics page. 

The video board on the east side of the stadium has been removed to make room for a new one "four times the size" than the previous board. 

The Tiger mascot that graced the top of the video board has been put into storage and will likely reappear in renovations at some point.

The WestZone Concourse Club will create about 600 outdoor seats. Ticketholders will have access to an indoor club space. It will be on the concourse level. 

Changes to the east side required the removal of Howard’s Rock and pedestal; both have been moved to a secure location.

Associate Athletic Director for Facility Management & Capital Projects Eric Sabin is responsible for the project.

The school’s sports website, clemsontigers.com, has a link to a video of the construction updates.
