Heading to Williams-Brice for the Gamecocks’ home opener? Here’s what to know.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – The No. 10 South Carolina Gamecocks kick off their home opener against South Carolina State at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Here’s what to know if you’re heading to Williams-Brice Stadium for the game:

Tickets are required to enter the stadium and can be found in the official South Carolina Gameday App. Add your ticket to your wallet; service outside the stadium can be slow.

New this year, USC says season alcohol sales are being moved to separate stands throughout the stadium. Fans purchasing alcohol must have a valid horizontal ID.

Two ADA-accessible nursing pods have also been added at the west ground level by the guest service kiosk and first aid room as well as the east lower level by the entrance to sections 19 and 20. Each pod is accessed by the Mamava app, which is able to notify users when the pod is available.
