Casual spectators become avid Gamecock fans the first time they see the Gamecock football team run onto the field to the tune of 2001: A Space Odyssey at Williams-Brice Stadium, one of the largest collegiate stadiums in the nation. Gamecock fans are some of the most loyal in the nation, and students are large contributors to the contagiously enthusiastic atmosphere at all of our athletic venues.
