History
Littlejohn Coliseum was first opened in 1968.[2] Littlejohn was named after James C. Littlejohn, class of 1908, who was Clemson’s first business manager and was involved in the building of various other athletic projects, such as Memorial Stadium.[3] Along with basketball, the Coliseum has hosted concerts by Rod Stewart, Huey Lewis & The News, John Cougar Mellencamp, Ozzy Osbourne, David Lee Roth, and many others.[4]
Renovations were done in the winter of 2002 that saw the Clemson teams play at Civic Center of Anderson for November and December of that year.[5] In 2011, Clemson announced a $50 million athletic building plan. As a part of this plan, Littlejohn Coliseum was renovated. An additional practice facility was built at the southwest corner of Littlejohn Coliseum. Cost for the project was estimated at $5 million.[6] The renovation was completed with an opening ceremony on October 14, 2016. The construction project cost a total of $63.5 million.[7] The renovated studio included the new Swann Pavilion, which includes a 13,000-square-foot (1,200 m2) practice gym, team suites, a film room, weight room and lounges. The renovation also upgraded the stadium entrance, exterior, and added two new LED boards. To fit in the new facilities, the basketball floor was rotated 90 degrees, and the arena capacity was reduced to 9,000 seats.[8][9]
