    Stadium entrance to Williams Bryce.
    Seth A.

    I attended Williams Bryce Stadium for a South Carolina Gamecocks game against the Florida Gators in October of 2023 and had the time of my life! I haven't been to many college football games, a lot more NFL games but I tell ya, for this SEC East rivalry between South Carolina and Florida, the crowd electricity was at a fever pitch! One of the loudest game atmospheres I have ever been to. Granted, universities like Penn State, Oregon and Texas A&M have reputations for some of the most intense settings in all the nation, but here at Williams Bryce, I was mighty impressed! Here are details about the game experience... Arriving to Williams Bryce, I did not purchase any prepaid parking spot ahead of time. There was really nothing offered on TickPick, Stubhub or Ticketmaster. And this worked out fine anyways. Someone standing in front of a parking lot street corner held a sign saying $10. I chose this lot which was on grass and right along the corner of Shop Road and Abbott Road (next to a DMV) heading towards Williams Bryce. I paid in cash. It was then a casual 1.2 mile walk to the stadium and took 20 minutes. I purchased a ticket for $111 on TickPick which was the cheapest offered. It was in Section 307 and Row 39 on the home side of the stadium but unfortunately, my seat had a partial viewing obstruction and so I had to move somewhere else. Instead, I found an unoccupied seat at the top row parallel to one of the end zones. You may think this nosebleed seat wouldn't be good, but instead it was fantastic! Best of all, I could stand up whenever I wanted without having to worry about blocking the views from the person sitting behind me. So in fact, the last row high at the top was perfect. Luckily, with Williams Bryce pretty much at full 77,000 person capacity for the game, I did not interfere by sitting in someone else's seat. The game started at 3:30pm. They allowed fans into Williams Bryce 90 minutes before kickoff. This gave me ample time to walk around the stadium, explore and get in as many photos as possible. And even prior to fan entrances, there was a cool walking pathway for South Carolina players entering the stadium. QB - Spencer Rattler stopped to say hello to his family and the fans. I enjoyed the players up close like they were celebrities. There was plenty of tailgating going on around the grounds of Williams Bryce. In fact, the South Carolina State Fair was also in town and located right nearby. Another great area to hang out at was the University of South Carolina Gamecock Park. Here people lounged on the grass, threw footballs around, played corn hole and enjoyed their Saturday. It was nice to get a glimpse into what the pregame festivities were like. Lastly, beside Williams Bryce were old train tracks with real train compartments for you to walk in and out of. Plus, they were great photo opportunities. If you're walking towards the game, you sort of can't miss these iconic train tracks and vintage railroad cars. Entering inside Williams Bryce, vendors handed out free towels commemmorating the game. They were awesome. I asked for 3 towels and they gave me a bundle of 6! Best of all, the towels said...South Carolina vs. Florida with the Gamecocks mascot Rooster and the date October 14th, 2023. Overall, Williams Brice Stadium, was very photogenic for a 3:30pm start time. I got some great pics in. But I think the most memorable aspect of it all was the South Carolina music and chant. Any time there was a need to get the stadium rocking before or after a scoring drive, the loudspeakers blasted this music. Lol, I just Googled the song and it's called "Sandstorm". Using Sandstorm along with waving those white gameday towels intensified the noise to a fever pitch. I was having fun regardless that I'm from Florida. Well done for using the song, Sandstorm. What a great way to get the crowd rocking! Laslty, the game was competitive and back and forth. It came down to the final seconds. Florida won 41 - 39. There was plenty of scoring and action so besides the electric crowd roaring till the final moments, the 80 combined points made for tons of memorable plays and touchdowns. In the end, I couldn't have asked for a better game day experience from here at Williams Bryce Stadium at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. Thank you for having me Gamecocks, and hope to attend more rivalry games in the future.

    My 500th review!! And I couldn't be more excited than to be writing it about Williams Brice Stadium. As a sports lover, especially football, my friends with season tickets surprised me with a ticket to the Texas A&M at USC game on Saturday October 22, 2022. This was my first live sporting event since last summer, my first game at WB, and let me tell you how electric this place was. It's a night game. Sold out crowd. Our tickets are at the club level meaning we have access to clean bathrooms, short drink lines, and tons of tables and chairs and TVs inside. But who is going to sit in there on the most perfect football weather night!? Not me!!! With game day towel in hand let's get outside and scream until we lose our voices. And that we did!! The first play was a USC kickoff return for a TD. You could feel the entire place shaking it was so exciting!!! The level of intensity that the team played with and the support from the crowd, the Gamecocks caused the Aggies to have 8 false starts!! With a 30-24 W I was on the best adrenaline high!! So there you have it Yelp, review number 500 from lil ol me capturing my love for USC and the fun you can have at their home stadium! PS I'm officially a good luck charm as they loss the next week at home to Missouri when I wasn't there! ;-)

    Always a great seat there! And always a great time tailgating! They proudly serve good drinks now!

    I've been to a-lot of stadiums and I have to say this was one of my favorites. The stadium was very clean and nice. As my family and I walked through the stadium we were impressed with the accessibility. The lines to get food weren't bad, and there were plenty food items to choose from. I loved the fireworks shot off the jumbo screen! So much fun. There's something to be said about a sea of white towels in the air. What an experience. Parking can be a bit of a challenge; then again most places are. Make sure to check out the cock a boose and the village during events, we loved all the pregame activities!

    Williams-Brice Stadium at night is always a magical experience, but with recent additions to the stadium and game day experience, it's the best it's ever been! With the music and light show, there's never a dull moment, even during timeouts and breaks in play. 100/10 for Williams-Brice, one of the best stadiums in all of college football!

    Brice to see you again

    The late Robin Williams and Bryce Canyon National Park teamed up to bring you this stadium, where Dead Poets, Good Will Huntings, and beautiful Utah scenery combine to thrill every inch of you. Yes even that inch. Not really, but this is one of the best college sports stadiums in the country, and also one of the most underrated. It's a spectacular and enormous stadium located in Columbia South Carolina and it's kind of the heart of the city - but kind of not because this city manages to balance being a real big functioning city as well as being a college sports hub. You can see it from miles around and I like that about it. It's visible from the downtown in the valley and I like that even more. It's just a gorgeous stadium on every level. My previous review said: First-Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium - I love Columbia and I love this stadium. Robert was the dude that originally showed me around the town, and I insisted that we first come here. It was impressive empty, but let me tell you that on my 3rd tour, I was lucky enough to be in here when it's full, and oh my goodness. One of the most intense college football atmospheres in the south, and an absolute palace of an enormous stadium. Plus any team known as the Gamecocks is always going to be popular with me since I have such a game c***. I've been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I've toured America as a musician for 7 or 8 years. In that time, I've seen sports games at, or visited when empty (and usually both), at almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I will upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space! ***back to regular review*** It's easy to get in and out of, and instead of leaving the end of the stadium wide open and gaping (like in one of those San Fernando Valley movies), they actually filled it in with a few seats as well as the scoreboard to protect some of the atmosphere. 80k people can come here, and more importantly Columbia is a wonderful city for me to play concerts in and I'll always love it.

    Excellent viewing experience. Jumbotron was large, up high seats still had a good view. Concessions were solid but I do not recommend the pretzel. Bathrooms were somewhat dirty but tolerable.

    Ah, the memories I have of Williams Brice and the Gamecock nation. Growing up in the Columbia area, I remember helping run the concession stands while in middle school, spending hot late summer Saturdays tailgating before there were paved parking lots, and cheering a consistently mediocre South Carolina team. Wow, how times have changed! Since the last time I visited Williams Brice (almost 15 years ago), they've upgraded the facilities, added end zone seating, paved the parking lots, and gotten 100% better on the football field. I was lucky enough to visit when Tennessee was visiting SC this past November. Of course I found myself in awe of the enormous changes in the facilities. However, the atmosphere was everything that I remember it being (yes, even through the lean years). Excellent fun made even better that I was able to share it with my father and two brothers - not to mention that SC actually pulled off the upset, therefore making going to a bowl game a REAL possibility. I would strongly recommend attending a game here if you have the opportunity. Bear in mind that the one thing that didn't seem to change was the absolutely HORRIBLE traffic. The SCHP were doing the best they could, but we still managed to spend the better part of an hour creeping along, although joyously (GO GAMECOCKS!!!) I hope to someday bring my youngest children to Columbia to experience the tailgate ritual (we live in Hawaii). Maybe next year. Thanks for the continued memories Williams Brice.

    As college football stadiums go, Williams-Brice is pretty much par for the course. Seats are packed closely together, the concourses are tired and somewhat dismal, and the concessions underwhelming but affordable. But because its 80,000-seat capacity is slightly smaller than other SEC stadiums, you feel a little closer to the action here -- even if the Gamecocks don't give you much action to get excited about. But the stadium's biggest drawback is its remote location -- more than a mile from the southern end of the USC campus, and almost two miles from the heart of downtown Columbia. Surrounded by acres of surface parking and the South Carolina Fairgrounds, Williams-Brice feels like its on the surface of the moon, and is incredibly tough to access on foot. Walking to and from the stadium with my 10-year-old son, I felt uneasy walking in the muddy drainage ditch along George Rogers Blvd, as a steady stream of cars raced by just a few feet away. USC has a beautiful campus, but the football stadium isn't a part of it in any way. A fun environment that would be a lot more fun somewhere else.

    What a nice stadium! Attending a football game is an experience!! Fireworks shoot out the top of the scoreboard. The dedication and pride Gamecock fans have for the team radiate into the atmosphere!! There's a fan zone set up outside the stadium where you can purchase souvenirs. They have plenty of concession stands so the lines aren't obnoxiously long. Italian ice, wings, fried rice, and hot dogs are a few of the items I noticed. The prices aren't awful, typical of a stadium. Water and Gatorade are $4 each. I can see how parking can be a nightmare. We ran into people selling boiled peanuts and bottles of water on the way in and out of the stadium, which was a plus.

    Tailgating before the game

    Nice SEC stadium. I have been here of a dozen times, mostly for Arkansas vs. USCjr games. So this review is from a visiting fan's point of view. Pros Best traffic management of any of the SEC stadiums I have been to. It is easy to get in and get out after the game. Some people may disagree, but don't judge until you have been to Fayetteville, Tuscaloosa, Auburn or Baton Rouge. Parking prices are respectable. $10 - $25 depending on how close you get. Atmosphere for a college game is excellent. The Cocks do it right. The USC fans are very friendly to visiting fans, unless they are winning. They can get a little cocky when they are winning (Men's room) you are pissing in a trough, no individual urinals. Now this does make it more efficient but god help you if you fall in. Cons Tailgating is fragmented. The Cockaboose is nice but those are reserved for private parties. You can have a good time tailgating but it is not centralized where you can really meet a lot of home fans, The stadium is not on campus, in fact it is in an industrial / warehouse area. It's been getting nicer as the years have passed but would be nice to walk around the campus before the game.

    GO COCKS!!!

    This school is awesome went to school here, my hubby & our son graduated from here. I love coming to the football & basketball games! The fans are the most dedicated followers ever!!! Hope we win tonight!!! GO COCKS!!!

    Only been to a few college games, but I am super impressed with this stadium. Well set up, not a bad seat in the place. It holds 80,500 fans and they are a raucous bunch! There is a lot set aside for tailgating and it was filled to capacity. The only thing I am not used to is that beer is not available at the game. Guess we have to make it up at the tailgate! The stadium is a short distance from the campus and the local law enforcement have a good layout to keep traffic moving during game day. Overall, a great day to watch college ball. Go Gamecocks!

    Segra Park is kind of a fun park. It's in the Bull Street District, which is a lot more appealing…read morethan it used to be. I think the park, and the Fireflies organization, does a great job of trying to have something fun for everybody, whether you're a young child, a young adult, or a middle-aged adult. For example, one of the back corners of the park was full of inflatable bouncy houses, which I would have loved when I was a kid. In addition, they had a few bar areas for the adults, my favorite of which was the Wicked Weed Brewing station, which offered a handful of different options from the Wicked Weed brand. Finally, I noticed that a few different corporate groups were having gatherings at the game, which looked like a lot of fun.  Furthermore, I went to a Tuesday night game, which, unbeknownst to me, carried a bunch of deals on various concessions items, such as $2 hot dogs and popcorn, as well as another deal on Miller Lite (although I don't remember the specifics.) For the price I paid for the hot dogs, I was also pleasantly surprised by how good they tasted! I loved how the park had different seating options, such as the traditional stadium seating in between the bases, but also picnic-like tables that you could sit at on the sides. That was definitely good for eating my hot dog and fries! I'd say that the biggest thing lacking in regards to Segra Park is high-quality baseball. While it has everything else that you could want in a park, I don't really feel like the games are that enjoyable, largely because you're watching very low-level baseball, which isn't very compelling. Because of this, I'd probably drop in to one (1) Fireflies game a year, but would likely keep it at that.  All-in-all, Segra Park is a great minor league stadium, I just wish the product between the lines was better!
