Swinney can’t wait to see fans, stadiums full again
Is there any coach in college football more excited about fans returning to the game than Dabo Swinney?
There answer is probably no.
On Monday, Swinney was handing out Coke Floats and taking selfies with students on campus, as temperatures hit around 90 degrees in Clemson. Swinney was grinning from ear to ear in the August sun, but with the start of the 2021 season just 12 days away, he would not have had it any other way.
You can bet Swinney will be smiling on Sept. 4, when the third-ranked Tigers hit the field at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte to take on No. 5 Georgia in the Duke’s Mayo Classic. The game is expected to be a sellout, with more 75,000 fans in attendance.
