The renovations at Spring Brooks Plaza at Williams-Brice Stadium are complete, and that means it's time for students to return to the stadium for Carolina football. Before you make your way to the game, here's some things you should know:

  • Students are encouraged to arrive early to home football games and stay until the end. Students that stay until the end will receive a voucher to redeem for one loyalty point the week following the game.

  • The new "Student Gate" is located between the Floyd Football building and the Northeast Entrance directly across from the fairgrounds (crossing George Rogers Blvd.). The gate opens one and a half hours prior to kickoff and will close at the beginning of halftime.

  • It is highly encouraged that students utilize UofSC shuttle services to get to the game. Shuttles are free for students with a Carolina Card. Service begins three hours prior to kickoff and runs until one and a half hours after the game with limited service throughout the game. Shuttles depart from the Coliseum and Russell House and drop off at the front of the Fairgrounds on Rosewood Drive. Students should walk through the Fairgrounds and cross George Rogers Boulevard to get to the Student Gate.

  • Should students have an issue gaining entrance into the stadium, the Student Ticketing Coordinator and office staff will be located at the box office located in the new Bignon Gameday Center (located between the Northeast Entrance and Key Road).

  • Students that claim a lower deck ticket will have to have their Carolina Card to gain admittance into the stadium. Students that claim an upper deck ticket will need to bring their printed ticket to gain admittance into the stadium. Student seating in the lower level is located in between Sections 23-34 and is general admission.

  • For accessible seating, please contact the Student Ticketing Office after you are awarded a ticket. Accessible seating is located in Section 419.

  • Most of all, yell loud and proud for your Gamecock football team.
