Gamecock Park

I felt so important! It was so quiet with no players out there everyone leaving because school had ended and it was so peaceful and I just stood there and took it all in .! it was so overwhelming I wanted to just cry at how amazingly beautiful it was and a how powerful it feels! I felt like a Queen for about 15 minutes! Thank you to the very nice man that let me come in and look, and thank you to the University of South Carolina for everything you do for our students our children our state and keeping us proud!So as I entered into this paradise, all I could think of was how fortunate I am to be able to stand in the middle of that practice field completely alone not a noise around no one but me taking it all in and it was simply moving! For a brief moment, and I mean brief, I felt sad that I had to share the experience alone and wished that I had my husband and children with me. So the next best thing you asked? I decide to video call my husband and he picked up and I said wait for it, wait for it, and boom I started showing him with my video camera on my phone all that goodness! And I promise you he was jealous! And that made me feel so good lol lol. University of South Carolina Gamecocks spared no expense when creating the new practice stadium! My son has been going to USC for over 2 years now and has NEVER BEEN INTO the new practice field! My hubby, also being a huge Gamecocks diehard fan, got the surprise of his life too! I drove to Columbia from Charleston South Carolina to help my son & his girlfriend move out of there 3 bedroom apartment. Since school year has ended, they will be home for the summer and asked for help . I never though I would be going on a Field Trip !! LOL!! When we left to head back to Charleston, my son asked me to stop off at a store down the road to get a few things, & of course, Krispy Kreme ( Since Charleston is taking there sweet time Building one here), & then it happened!!!
I looked up and BOOM.!!! THERE SITS ... Carolina Gamecocks Football Stadium in all its glory! I was freaking out to be able to be that close to it, that I almost missed the thing that is soooooo much talked about, & has not yet been entered into or seen by any one in our diehard Carolina Gamecocks loving group of family & friends ... ahhhhh... The Practice Stadium!!! I stood out front of the doors attempting to see all I could through the glass. Then all of a sudden a very nice old man came to the glass door and unlocked it! He asked if I wanted to come inside and take a look around because they were fixing to leave and it would not bother them if I wanted to look! I was like what the what!!! U dang right I do!!! Now.. I share my images with you.. Enjoy!

It's awesome getting to set up everything hetr

Very nice place for tailgating and has restrooms. Bring a tent because the trees still need time to grow to give good shade. The Long family operations center is very nice and a great place for the team to workout and practice.

Gamecock Village Tailgate Party vs. Furman! We had a blast..

Loved It!! 1st time going!! Was a surprise for my Hubby!! He was thoroughly surprised and Loved The Experience, even though they lost, lol!

Gamecock Park is one of the most special places in all of college football. The atmosphere is like no other. The food trucks that come out ensure that even if you forgot food on the way to the tailgate, there will be great selections available for you. Everyone is always friendly and the area is always well maintained and looks gorgeous.

Went here for covid vaccine and they have this set up very nicely. Everyone is nice and they are quick on getting you through the process and checking on you throughout your 15 minute wait after the shot.

Went to get our vaccine there. Very friendly folks, well organized. Hoping for herd immunity so we can get back to normal soon. Thank you frontline workers.

COVID VACCINE WAS FAST AND EASY. In and out in about 30 minutes. Everyone was very nice and compassionate and the soldiers doing their duty. Thanks for you service everyone. A great cause!

So impressed with how organized everything was, it was very busy but everything went so smoothly ‼ Every person, no matter what their job was, was so professional, helpful and upbeat. Whoever planned and organized this should run for President.... They have my vote👍👍

We got our vaccine shots there and it was fast and efficient I understand that they will stop doing the drive-by vaccines this weekend and that is a shame as it was so convenient

Went there may 1 to get my first vaccine !!
It was set up pretty well and there was no line !!
Everyone was very nice !!!

New facilities are ridiculous.... There is no better place to tailgate...now no better place excel as an athlete. Almost gave 4 stars because it's a lot of money spent on college athletics, but the builder and conception cannot be denied what they deserve. You have to see it to believe it! 5*

Drive-through Covid 19 vaccination site. Heavy traffic very professionally managed. Courteous professional helpful staff. Great experience!!

The vaccine distribution was well organized the people were all friendly and knew what they were doing Really well done The facility was well used🙂

Very organized very helpful and caring,!! Got my 2nd dose of the vaccine, yay!! 😃

All Aggie tailgate was hosted at this spot. Excellent place to hang out. Added bonus of having the football practice facility open for use of restroom.
