What’s unique about Williams-Brice Stadium and the Gamecocks?

The Captain and myself (HarryD) are beginning our SEC stadium tour next week with the home opener in Columbia at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C. We will be traveling the East Coast from Delaware, through Washington, D.C. (dropping off my UGA senior to spend a semester in the nation’s capital), and booking it down to Columbia for SC’s home opener against Southern Miss and ending the week at the UGA home opener.

I was doing some research online and contacted some friends in Columbia and heard about “Cockaboose(s)” and Maurice’s BBQ. Since this is an SEC travel blog and the tailgating and hospitality experience is at least as important as the game I am asking Gamecock fans to weigh in on the special and/or unique aspects of tailgating in Columbia. Williamsbrice.com touts WB as “The best” game day atmosphere as voted by ‘SEC sports’; we want to know why it is “the best!”
We will include anecdotes, recipes, and pictures of anyone who wishes to contribute to the “SECtravelblog”. So Gamecock fans fire up the old computer and join our revelry and appreciation of all things SEC. We look forward to visiting you on Sept. 2!
