VIDEO: Clemson crashes ‘Saturday Market on Main Street’

With Littlejohn Coliseum undergoing major renovations this academic year, Brad Brownell’s Clemson Tigers will play their entire 2015-16 home schedule off campus. The Tigers will play their games in Greenville at Bon Secours Wellness Arena, and with this being the case the program is doing what it can to spark interest in its temporary home.

Last Saturday four Tigers, Jordan Roper, Jaron Blossomgame, Donte Grantham and Josh Smith, hopped in a bus and descended upon Main Street in Greenville with plans of “crashing” the town’s Saturday Market. There were games for those in attendance, and the cheerleaders and mascot were there as well.

Above is video of the day in Greenville courtesy of Clemson Athletics, and pictures from the event can be seen here.

This is a good move by Clemson, because given the difficulty of the ACC they’ll need to establish some semblance of a home-court advantage while playing in Greenville. And even if their preseason trip to Greenville doesn’t lead to skyrocketing season ticket sales, engaging the community is an important first step in making sure that Bon Secours Wellness Arena actually feels a little like “home.”
