COLUMBIA, S.C. –
The University of South Carolina Athletics Department and the Gamecock men’s basketball team is challenging fans to an “Operation Sellout” of Colonial Life Arena for the next home men’s basketball game against Georgia on Feb. 7. Fan attendance has been on the rise throughout the season, but Colonial Life Arena has yet to be sold out. Free door prizes, 2,000 free rally towels and other exciting events are planned in conjunction with the game.

The evening will also serve as Gamecock Club Appreciation Day, the Gamecock Club Chapter Challenge, Life Night for area churches, car dealer appreciation night and a special halftime performance from “Simon Sez” will help build excitement at the venue.

There are several ways you can help make “Operation Sellout” a success. Single game tickets are still available starting at $15 by calling 800-4SC-FANS (800-472-3267) or by going to GamecocksOnline.com. The Gamecock Flex Pack is also still on sale, which includes eight ticket vouchers that can be used for any game, in any combination, at any time for only $98. And finally, several group packages are available by calling 803-576-9077.

Let’s make “Operation Sellout” a success. Go Gamecocks!
