Clemson usually doesn’t visit an opponent’s stadium before a game, but they decided to this time because it’s a new environment for the team.
Dabo said this week that Clemson doesn’t typically go to the stadium the day before road games when arriving in town but it is this week because it’s a new stadium. Wants everyone to get a feel for it. https://t.co/Bu2rkTQVrw

Notre Dame had to alter its original schedule that featured games against teams from conferences that initially canceled the fall season. They were effectively incorporated into the ACC for the season, which led to Clemson’s first visit to Notre Dame since 1979. That explains why they wanted to check out the stadium ahead of the game.
