I'm not sure what info you are referring to, but it is quite possible that the data is the same, because that is the historical record... Nonetheless, I am adding references. More to come. Go Tigers!

Records

Shouldn't there be info on the all time home record at the facility? I could be wrong, but I think one time there was a long win streak...--4.88.127.227 00:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

From 1947 to 1949 the Tigers ran up a 17-game undefeated streak, but that includes all games, home and away... Mark Sublette (talk) 09:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 09:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Memorial Stadium is not the loudest outdoor stadium.

While I don't know for sure which stadium in the world is the loudest outdoor stadium, I do know for sure that Clemson's Memorial Stadium isn't it. In fact it's not even the loudest stadium in college football based on decibel measurements done by ABC and ESPN on the University of Washington's Husky Stadium in the 90's. This has been recounted many times when there are articles on Husky Stadium. Here's a few to help convince you otherwise.

[2] [3] [4]

Husky Stadium was measured in the 130 decibel range by ABC and ESPN. Last time I checked 130-135 decibels is louder than 127 decibels.

Clemson broke 136dbs against BC in 2007

Funny Picture

I was looking at Daktronics, the video provider of Memorial Stadium. They have a picture that makes me giggle.

Quiet, Offense at Work

It's good to know that the offensive unit for the Clemson Tigers will get some peace and quiet when they work, unlike the visiting team.--BigMac1212 00:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Capacity

To whom it may concern: Clemson's official page on the stadium[5] reports the new capacity is 80,301 and the highest reported attendance so far this season is 83,000 vs. UNC[6]. Do not change to 91,800 in the article again unless you can cite some source to substantiate the claim. AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 23:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Why on earth is an Auburn grad so concerned with Clemson? Get a life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.95.18 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 9 May 2007 (GMT)

I'm concerned with accuracy in this encyclopedia. Grow up. AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 23:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Picture(s)?

Anyone have any idea why there isn't one? I'd like to post one or more than one but I'm not too skilled at that sort of thing. Can anyone help? J-Dog 14:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Preceded by

Wasn't Death Valley preceded by Riggs Field, which was in turn preceded by Bowman? Zchris87v 02:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Bowman was the first field, used from 1896 to 1914, then Riggs, which is now the soccer stadium. Mark Sublette (talk) 09:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 09:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments by Clemsonknowitall

At one point when the carolina panther's stadium was being built in north carolina, the panthers played their games at clemson memorial stadium. But after when that was over clemson went on to win a national championship in 1981, have a head coach named John Hiesmen and thats how the Hiesmen trophy was made right in clemson, but running down the hill and rubbing howard's rock beats all those by a long shot just hearing the fans roar with that tradition that is the real history.

Death Valley?

I know it is called by that name (for some reason), but it should be noted that LSU's Tiger Stadium is the "real" Death Valley (other than, of course, the real "real" Death Valley in California). LSU has earned that, Clemson kinda sucks and always will.--172.190.132.46 (talk) 05:43, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Clemson's "Death Valley" gained its name in 1948. LSU's stadium was originally called "Deaf Valley" but later had the name changed in the 1970s. Even LSU's sports information department acknowledges that Clemson had the name first. Facts are fun. Nice try, anonymous Cock fan.--LesPhilky (talk) 15:01, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

What is with the name calling? Since when is this acceptable behavior on Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.89.128.5 (talk) 18:09, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Is Memorial Stadium unique in hosting major league sports from a state never possessing major league teams?

When I discovered that the Carolina Panthers played their debut season in Memorial Stadium, I asked myself this curio question:

“ Is Memorial Stadium unique in hosting major league sports whilst being located in a state that has never possessed any major league team? ”

Although South Carolina is one of seventeen (I think) states that have never in their history possessed a single major league team, were there any other games in MLB, the NFL, the NBA and/or the NHL ever played in such a state, if we exclude Virginia and the Washington-based teams it has hosted?luokehao, August 16, 2018, 03:56 (UTC)
