Williams Brice Stadium
 Columbia, SC

Nicknamed "the Cockpit"  Williams Brice Stadium is the home of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. In the early 1930s discussion began on the possibility of building a new stadium for the football team. Built with federal funds a new stadium was built by the 1934 season. The Gamecocks began playing at the stadium then known as Municipal Stadium on September 23, 1934 against Erksine. The stadium had a capacity of 17,600 when it opened.
 
Since its opening there have been several significant expansions, many coming in the 1970s. Before the 1970 season over 14,000 seats were added along with the installation of Astrotuf. These renovations were possible because of the $2.5 million left by the estate of Mrs. Martha Williams Brice. Because of her large donation the stadium was named in her honor. An additional expansion occurred before the 1972 season when the capacity of the stadium was increased to nearly 54,000 with the addition of the west side upper deck. Ten years later, the capacity grew to 72,400 when the east stands were constructed. The latest additions to Williams Brice Stadium occurred in the mid 1990s. Before the 1995 season, $9.9 million was spent on the west side with the construction of luxury suites, club seats and a new press box. One year later the $13.5 million south end zone project was completed. This added new club areas and the upper deck. Today Williams Brice Stadium is a massive stadium with a seating capacity of just over 80,000. Future plans call for an upper deck to be added in the north endzone increasing the seating capacity to 88,000. The Gamecocks have one of the best stadium in the nations to play at.
