🚨Update on Williams-Brice Stadium Gates, Entry Procedures and Arrival Tips from South Carolina prior to the A&M game🚨 Gamecock Nation, We want to address the concerns many of you have shared about the challenges entering the stadium during our last home game against Tennessee and outline the changes we are making to improve entry ahead of this Saturday’s game against Texas A&M. These updates include: All stadium gates will open two hours prior to kickoff (1 p.m.) instead of the usual 90 minutes. Enjoy 50% off several concessions between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. To encourage early entry, we are offering 50% off several general concession items, including food, water, and soft drinks. This offer is valid only between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. at marketplaces and general concession stands throughout the stadium. Enjoy $5 beers between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. In addition to 50% off select concessions and to encourage early entry, we are offering a special $5 beer for Miller Lite and Coors Light (12 oz.). This offer is valid between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. ​Additional ticket scanners and security screening equipment at gates. We have added 22 additional ticket scanners than were available for the Tennessee game to help fans move through the gates more quickly. We are also adding magnetometers to help with screening at key gates. As we prepare for Saturday’s matchup at Williams-Brice Stadium, we are asking everyone to help ensure a more efficient entry process by doing the following: Plan to enter the stadium early. We recognize and respect the desire to enjoy pregame tailgate events and activities as long as possible. We kindly ask that you plan to arrive at the gates by 2 p.m., one hour before kickoff, to give yourself more time to get through screening, find your seat, and enjoy the pregame festivities. During the Tennessee game, more than 40,000 fans arrived at the gates within 30 minutes prior to kickoff, contributing to significant congestion. Arriving earlier will help ease that congestion and give you more time to enjoy the pregame experience. Download your tickets to your mobile wallet before leaving home. We encourage fans to download their digital tickets to their mobile wallet before coming to Williams-Brice Stadium, so they are readily accessible at the gates. Review our "Know Before You Go" information and Game Day Hub. Whether Saturday’s game will be your first visit to Williams-Brice Stadium or you’ve been coming for years, be sure to review our Know Before You Go release for details specific to Saturday’s game and visit our Game Day Hub for additional information to help plan your visit. Thank you for your feedback, patience, and continued support of Gamecock Football. We are committed to improving the entry process and making your experience at Williams-Brice Stadium as smooth as possible. We look forward to welcoming you back home on Saturday! Be early. Be loud. And Go Gamecocks!
