South Carolina will release a different limited-edition YETI Rambler Tumbler at each home game this season! On Wednesday of a home game week, the design will be announced and a purchase link will drop in the Forever Garnet App.
To make concession lines move faster, alcohol sales will be moved out of their current locations and will be sold in separate stands throughout the stadium.
We’re adding two new satellite gameday store locations in addition to the store inside the Bignon Gameday Center.
Two nursing pods have been added to the stadium to better accommodate nursing mothers and the next generation of Gamecocks.
Williams-Brice Stadium is now a certified sensory inclusive venue! Sensory bags will be available for checkout at the Guest Service Kiosks.
Forever Garnet Memories are back! Fans can continue to enhance their game day experience by taking advantage of our auctions, experiences, and Friday stadium tours.
