- Today’s photo is from the 1960’s and is the view coming from Highway 93 heading into Clemson.
There are a couple of clues that help pin down the actual date of this picture. Obviously, neither upper deck has been built on Memorial Stadium, which helps date the picture prior to 1978.
Littlejohn Coliseum, although almost hidden in this picture, is visible if you look really closely. Littlejohn was completed in 1968, which dates this picture prior to that time.
Trivia Question
