Clemson fans attending games at Memorial Stadium may want to arrive earlier than normal in 2018.

Clemson is implementing a walk-thru metal detector pilot program, the university announced Wednesday afternoon.

Select gates, rotating throughout the season, will have walk-thru metal detector units outside of the stadium, according to a release.

Clemson made this decision “in an effort to ensure that Memorial Stadium is the safest possible venue for fans during the 2018 season and beyond,” the release states.
