Memorial Stadium - The Beginning
Black and white photograph of the beginning construction of what would later become Memorial Stadium at Clemson. Measures 11 x 14.
Fun Fact: The stadium was constructed against the wishes of the late and former Clemson Head Coach Jess Neely. Just before leaving for Rice University after the 1939 season, he told Frank Howard, "Don't ever let them talk you into building a big stadium. Put about 10,000 seats behind the YMCA. That's all you'll ever need."[4]
