Not sure which direction you are coming from but if you hit 77 toward Charlotte and get on Bluff Rd you have parking on both sides of road. Just depends on how much you want to pay to park. Traffic is easier that way as well.

IMO, Shop Road is a better bet if you want to park in the fairgrounds if you get there more than 2 hours before gametime. Hardly any traffic, and it brings your right up to George Rogers blvd in front of the stadium. You'll have to take a right on George Rogers Blvd, turn right on Rosewood, and pull a U turn, then go straight on Rosewood to get to the fairgrounds entrance, though.

There are spots all over, but you'll have to get there early because of how big this game is. I'm talking 4 hours before gametime. If you're planning on tailgating, you can pay around $30 for a spot in the fairgrounds. The farther you get from the stadium, the cheaper the parking gets, but the farther you'll have to walk. If you're interested in just parking and meeting up with someone or just walking into the game, you can park a half mile or so from the stadium for around $10.
The extra 20 or so is worth it though, because it's a pain in the ### to walk to the stadium. I'm a huge gamecock fan, and even I can say that the layout around the stadium is awful for pedestrians.

Thanks - driving in from Clemson. Will probably get there a few hours early just to check things out. Looking for a easy get-away after the game. Not sure if it's going to be gridlock or not.

It will be. It's a pain in the ### to get out of there after the game. You'll be in traffic for around an hour trying to get to 126. The barriers force you down through Columbia on Assembly Street.

Clemson fans NEED TO SHOW UP!! Their fans have always
Nov 25, 2013, 3:09 PM

been trashy and scum so don't use that as an excuse. When we were winning , no Clemson fans had a problem showing up so lets get back down there and not let their scumbag fans keep us away. We are better than that.

If you park

On the bluff road side you exit through Olympia, if you park on i77 side of bluff you leave on i77. Fairgrounds depends which area of it you exit from to how you leave. Also parking down a road called brookwood right over by Budweiser building. That parking gives you the option of leaving all 3 directions and is more convenient IMO. 20$ on that road

My recommendation would be to park along Bluff or Shop Road
Nov 25, 2013, 4:16 PM

and walk to the stadium.
When you get there, be sure to turn your car around so that you're facing back towards I-77.
Makes getting out after the game a lot easier.

I suggest parking off of Shop or Bluff
Nov 25, 2013, 6:54 PM
|
|
on the far side of the stadium and take I-77 around to I-26 when you are leaving.
In spite of all you read here I think you will have a great time and people will treat you the way you treat them.
