Clemson football: Full capacity for UGA game in Charlotte looking promising

Clemson football fans hoping for a full stadium when the Tigers travel up to Charlotte to take on the Georgia Bulldogs received good news Wednesday afternoon.

There have been plenty of talks for quite a while about what might happen if stadium restrictions are still in place this fall when Clemson heads up to Bank of America Stadium for a neutral-site season-opener against rival Georgia.

The Clemson Insider reported yesterday that sources had indicated to them that there had been discussion about moving the game– potentially to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta- but that the likelihood of the game being moved out of Charlotte was low.

That already-low likelihood seemingly hit near ‘zero’ Wednesday afternoon when it was reported by Spectrum Local News’ Tim Boyum that North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper expects to eliminate all capacity and mass gathering restrictions by June 1st.

It’s looking more and more promising for Clemson football fans wanting to see the Tigers in-person with full stadiums this fall

There’s no doubt that College Football was impacted by limited (or no) crowd attendance during the 2020 fall season.

Even though Clemson football had one of the largest attendances (19,000 for each home game), the truth is that 19,000 still isn’t the same when you feel the energy and passion of Death Valley at full capacity.

Still, Clemson has maintained that the plan for home games this fall is to open back up at full capacity and this latest news about lowered restrictions in the state of North Carolina makes a full-capacity crowd on hand for the game in Charlotte look much more promising.

Things can still change 100 times between now and September, but it does look like we’re currently on the road to normalcy when it comes to crowd attendance this fall for College Football.

It’s a good thing too because this game might turn into the most-hyped season-opener in the history of the sport.
