SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY (WSYR-TV) Saturday’s highly-anticipated matchup between ACC rivals Syracuse and top-ranked Clemson is officially sold out.

A capacity crowd of more than 49,057 will be on hand at the Dome to watch the Orange and Tigers. It’s the ninth football sellout in Dome history and first since the 1998 season opener versus Tennessee.

The Orange are the last team to beat Clemson in the regular season, winning 27-24 at the Dome on Oct. 13, 2017. Since then, the Tigers have won 19 straight regular-season games.

Syracuse is riding a streak of its own, having won six in a row at home. The Orange were undefeated at the Dome last season.

Kickoff for the game is set for 7:30 p.m. on ABC with Syracuse University alum Sean McDonough ’84, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor on the call.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early to avoid potential delays. Parking lots open at 3 p.m. and Dome gates open 5:30 p.m.
