Eric Mac Lain almost got arrested the last time he was in Bank of America Stadium for a Clemson game.
In 2011, he drove to Charlotte with Ryan Norton, Spencer Region and their roommate, Conner Moon, to watch Clemson beat Virginia Tech 38-10 in the ACC Championship.
They were counting down their final days as redshirts, so the group didn’t travel with the team. Each player was allotted a pair of end zone tickets, which were about five rows back from the field.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock, they wanted to join their teammates who were already celebrating a trip to the Orange Bowl.
