My New Place for the Week

My new place for this past week was Williams-Brice Stadium, the home of the South Carolina Gamecocks football team. It was very exciting, and I had such a good time!

Apparently I have been oblivious to college football outside of the Big 10 because I was missing out on a whole other world down here!

Williams-Brice is the 20th largest football stadium in the NCAA with its record capacity being around 85,000 (I think; I'm no Gamecocks history buff).


These are the seats in the south stands. I guess I should throw a disclaimer out there...I'm kind of guessing on some of the terminology. I tried my best to pick up on the Williams-Brice "slang" from my roommate and the others around me, but I could've gotten some of it wrong!

Those are the seats in the upper level in the east stands. I am still amazed by how steep the upper level seats are! You can't even really see them in this picture because they're so steep. I just kept thinking how I was glad I wasn't sitting up there so I wouldn't tumble down to my doom!

Way over yonder is the student section. I wish I could've had the full experience of sitting there for my first game, but for some reason I'm having some difficulties with accessing my student tickets (which are "free" btw).

My Gamecock football experience wouldn't have been complete without these two. The girl on the left is my roommate Crystal and the guy on the other side of me is her little brother.
All in all, I had a pretty splendid time. I still bleed black and gold, but I think I might be able to make some room for garnett and black too.
