CLEMSON — Opening Day at Clemson might be a little different this year.
The Tigers open the season on Friday against Army, and with Erik Bakich’s military ties and this being Hero’s Weekend at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, expect a strong dose of Military Appreciation througout the three-game series.
“We’ve got Army-West Point coming to town,” Bakich said. “It is going to be an exciting time, Hero’s Weekend, which aligns perfectly with the values of this university and patriotism. With what we did last year, with the fourth inning honoring of our veterans and military and public service personnel, it couldn’t have timed up or aligned better to bring in Army for opening weekend.
