National Championship viewing party

Clemson has made plans to host a viewing party on Monday night when the Tigers and the University Alabama meet in California to decide the national championship. College Avenue, between Keith Street and highway 93, will be closed starting at 5 pm and re-open at 2:30 the next morning. The game will be broadcast there on two large jumbotron screens. Although the city is suspending its open container law between 7 pm and midnight, there are certain restrictions. Having an open container before 7 o’clock will result in a false start and subject the patron to normal fines. No coolers or alcoholic beverages will be allowed to be brought into the area. Anyone carrying an alcoholic beverage outside, within the gated area, will be required to wear a wristband. Wristbands will be issued only to persons who’ve attained 21 years of eligibility and may be obtained only from licensed alcohol establishments within the gated event site. Any beverage brought outside must be in a plastic cup.
