Clemson Traditions

The Traditions

The most iconic tradition in college football lives here: "The Most Exciting 25 Seconds in College Football." Before every home game, players board buses at the west end zone, ride to the east side, then run down the Hill while touching Howard's Rock — a piece of Death Valley, California, gifted to legendary coach Frank Howard.

Pregame Rituals

The entire stadium erupts as players flood the field, and cannons fire in celebration.

In-Game Moments

During games, watch for the crowd-wide cadence call when the Tigers have the ball, and the Tiger Rag fight song that reverberates after every score.

Must Experience

The balloon release after the first score is a breathtaking visual tradition.
