What Time Should You Arrive?

If you only remember one thing from this guide:

Arrive Earlier Than You Think

For most Clemson football games, traffic begins building 2–3 hours before kickoff.

For a Morgan Wallen concert with fans arriving from multiple states, expect congestion to begin by early afternoon.

Recommended arrival times:

• VIP ticket holders: 2:00 PM
• General parking: 2:30–3:30 PM
• Tailgating or downtown dining: Noon–2:00 PM

Waiting until 4:00 PM could easily leave you sitting in traffic while opening acts are already performing.

Parking Options

Official Clemson Parking

Many lots around campus require prepaid parking passes.

Parking lots are expected to begin opening around 10:00 AM.

If you purchased parking with your ticket package, verify your assigned lot before leaving home.

Overflow Parking

A community announcement circulating online indicates that NewSpring Church may again serve as overflow parking, with free parking available on a first-come basis. Fans should verify availability before relying on this option, as plans can change. The location offers ample parking and is outside the heaviest stadium traffic.

Downtown Clemson Parking

Downtown Clemson garages and private lots often offer paid event parking within walking distance of the stadium.

Expect prices to increase as lots fill throughout the day.

Rideshare Information

Using Uber or Lyft?

Clemson has designated rideshare procedures for large events.

Fans may use the rideshare pickup area near NewSpring Church or follow directions provided by event staff after the show. Expect surge pricing and wait times after the concert ends.

The Pontoon Shuttle Option

One of the more unique transportation options being discussed locally is a free pontoon shuttle operating from the Clemson Rowing docks area.

According to organizers, the ride may help fans avoid some vehicle congestion around the stadium and could provide a faster return route after the concert.

Because this is not part of Clemson’s official transportation system, visitors should confirm availability and schedules before making plans.

What Can You Bring?

Recommended items:

• Portable phone charger
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• Empty refillable water bottle (if permitted)
• Rain poncho
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Mobile ticket downloaded before arrival

Cell service can become overloaded when tens of thousands of people gather in one location.

What NOT to Bring

Leave these at home:

• Large purses
• Backpacks
• Coolers
• Outside alcohol
• Umbrellas
• Professional camera equipment
• Selfie sticks
• Weapons

Security screening will slow entry to prevent prohibited items.

Food and Drinks

Memorial Stadium concession stands will be open throughout the event.

For those arriving early, downtown Clemson offers numerous restaurants, bars, and coffee shops within walking distance of the stadium.

Expect heavy crowds beginning mid-afternoon.

Traffic Tips for Leaving

The biggest mistake many first-time visitors make is parking as close to the stadium as possible.

Often, the farther you park from Memorial Stadium, the faster you leave.

Consider:

• Parking near an exit route
• Walking an extra 10–15 minutes
• Waiting 30 minutes after the show ends before driving

That strategy can save an hour or more in post-concert traffic.

Weather Considerations

Late June in the Upstate means:

• Temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s
• High humidity
• Frequent afternoon thunderstorms

Bring a poncho and monitor weather alerts throughout the day.

Final Advice

Morgan Wallen’s Clemson concerts are expected to be among the largest entertainment events ever held in the Upstate. Arrive early, pack light, follow the clear bag policy, download your tickets before you leave home, and have a backup parking plan.

Most importantly, expect traffic, be patient, and enjoy what should be two unforgettable nights in Death Valley.
