Last week, before Clemson hosted the Savannah Bananas in front of 81,000 fans at Memorial Stadium, Clemson athletic director Graham Neff stated that the Tigers planned to continue hosting various non-sporting events at Memorial Stadium and their other athletic venues moving forward.
Nothing has changed in that regard since the Bananas came to Tiger Town. In fact, Saturday’s highly successful event was a “big step” in the direction of Clemson holding more non-sporting events at Memorial Stadium, according to Neff.
Neff told Ben Portnoy of Sports Business Journal that Clemson estimates it will net between $400,000 and $600,000 in gross revenue from Saturday’s game.
