Than some sterile NFL corporate stadium. Hope it doesn’t take a home game away. Especially right after Dabo says how important home games are.

I’m assuming this will be a Georgia home game, Fabo just said last week that he would never under any circumstance give up any of our 7 home games for a neutral site.

It’ll replace a road game for us. The odd years are the big name non-conference home games.

Yep, we play big P5 away games in even years like at A&M this year. Still have a hole in the schedule for '21. Interested to see if we can get a quality P5 scheduled. Will be difficult.

Would have rather seen UGA at home in '21, then at trip to Athens in '24.

You really don't get how scheduling works do you? Georgia already gave up a home game during our last home and home series to make that happen. They lost something to play is showing they obviously aren't scared. For it to work that way again, we'd have to give up a home game and Dabo said that isn't happening. But continue to sound like a idiot LOL

I guess it's exposure in Atlanta for recruiting (is that something we really even need?) but i would've much preferred a home-and-home series than an 1-off that's basically a psuedo-home game for Georgia.

dawgs are back on schedule but huge letdown that its not a home/home. Wish it had been setup like the Auburn series a few years ago, one there, one here, and one in Atlanta.

Why not home and away. Also would rather game be in Charlotte, much nicer city and area around the stadium for tailgating/bars, and more neutral than Atlanta. We screwed up scheduling with neutral football game against UGA in Atlanta and neutral baseball game against Scar in Columbia.

I see it a little different. It’s great Clemson has become so nationally relevant, and games like this help keep it that way with recruiting and the growing Clemson brand. Great job Mr. Rad, with scheduling the LSU series and UGA chick-fil-a opener.
Ole Miss, Penn St, Texas (Austin) and Northwestern (Chicago) are some home and away opportunities that would be on my wish list for the future.

What's everyone crying about? Sure, I'd much prefer a home & home, but we're getting to play Georgia again! If the trajectories of these programs continue, this will be a helluva matchup.

Mine is off principal because it’s clear what they are doing. Outside of tech, they will no longer play a regular season OOC power 5 at their home turf..and it’s bull ####.

They've already played Oregon State when they had weeden and Blackmon, ND, already have a schedule home and home with UCLA and are in the works with one with Texas. Please, shut up until you can speak without ignorance.

For those of you upset with a neutral site opener...we're going to get PAID. The average payout is $4.5 million.

But Kirby Smart will have been run out of the state of Georgia by 2024 for unethical recruiting practices, and that will be bc he gave the bag man a super size bag of cash!!! He couldn't leave well enough alone, and well enough was the smaller bag of cash that they had been using, and getting away with for years!!!

I think doing this game at a neutral site, IMO, cheapens the rivalry. Just my thoughts.

I guess that Georgia was the only place for a meeting between a Georgia Team, and a Clemson SC team. Why not the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte NC. That is a neutral site for both teams, but I guess that D Rad was having the same feeling as he was having when he agreed that the Clemson and usuc baseball game was a neutral site at Spirit Communications Park that is closer to usuc than their own BB Park!!!
