Williams Brice Stadium – USC Football
Welcome to the 2022 Football Season . . .
It's never too early to plan your game day trip. Is your team playing the Gamecocks this year? If you’re coming for the game, stay in Cayce or West Columbia and avoid the heavy traffic less than 7 miles from the stadium. Discover the best restaurants such as the gorgeous rooftop overlooking the city with instagram-worthy cuisine at Black Rooster, legendary sports bars like D's Wings and Carolina Wings, new craft beer on the rooftop at Savage Craft Ale Works, WECO Bottle & Biergarten, and Steel Hands Brewing outdoor patio. All offer plenty of FREE public parking, a bonus to staying on the #Westside of town.

After you've consumed all those calories, we have plenty of places to walk it off ... public access to 25+ miles of park trails, 90 miles of river, and blocks of antiques malls (yes, shopping burns calories) to enjoy before or after the big game. Stay for the whole weekend with us! All football fans are welcome in our friendly towns, whether from the visiting team or home team fans!
