Welcome to the Williams-Brice Stadium page!

Williams-Brice Stadium is the home football stadium for the South Carolina Gamecocks, the college football team representing the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina. It is located on the corner of George Rogers Boulevard and Bluff Road adjacent to the South Carolina State Fairgrounds and State Farmers Market.

Carolina football teams consistently attract standing-room-only crowds to Williams-Brice Stadium. The atmosphere on game days has been voted "the best" by secsports.com (See 9/15/05 at [1].) In addition to serving as the home of the Gamecocks, the stadium has been the site of many concerts, state high school football championships, and various other events. It hosted the annual Palmetto Capital City Classic between Benedict College and Johnson C. Smith University until the last game in 2005.

Williams-Brice Stadium is currently the 18th largest college football stadium in the NCAA and 7th largest stadium among the 12-member Southeastern Conference. [1] Plans for future expansion include adding an upper deck in the north end zone, which would increase capacity to approximately 88,000 seats and would require the video scoreboard to be relocated and the building behind the north end zone containing the football offices to be demolished. Construction could begin following the 2008 season and could be completed in time for the first game of 2010.

It has been nicknamed "The Cockpit" by Gamecock fans and local media, although the nickname is unofficial.
