Fans are currently allowed to access the field at Memorial Stadium after every home game in what’s known as Gathering at the Paw.

Clemson football fans gather at midfield after every home game. Here's why this will change after the ACC's new announcement.

Clemson responded quickly to the news of the ACC’s new field and court storming policy ahead of the 2025-26 academic year. The Tigers were a noteworthy response considering their football tradition of letting the fans on the field postgame.

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips believes the league is on solid ground following settlements with Clemson and Florida State —and insists both programs are satisfied with how things turned out.

Jim Phillips stood in the same spot Tuesday morning that he did exactly one year earlier as he officially opened the Atlantic Coast Conference's preseason football media days. Only now, the message and tone is far different.
