CLEMSON – Topping out means reality is setting in for Clemson softball coach John Rittman.
School officials held a topping out ceremony Tuesday morning at the site of the new softball stadium, with members of the coaching staff and athletic department members signing the last beam. In building construction, topping out is a builders' rite traditionally held when the last beam is placed atop a structure during its construction.
The Clemson softball program will play its first game in February 2020 in the new stadium, which will feature 1,000 fixed chairback seats, in addition to berm seating.
