The Forever Garnet program was designed to enhance your experience with Gamecock Athletics! We want you to continue to make memories with us. One component of Forever Garnet Memories is Game Day Experiences.

These gameday experiences will provide you with access to things that can’t be accessed by most of our fans on a regular day. Throughout the year as more sports begin their season, we’ll add more gameday experiences, so be sure to check this website regularly for updates!
