Columbia, S.C. – The South Carolina Athletics Department will host an open house for all Gamecock fans on Friday, Feb. 13 at the new baseball facility. The event at Carolina Stadium will run from 5:30-7:30 pm and will be an opportunity for all fans to view the new stadium, identify their seat location and to see the entire facility and its amenities. The gates will not open until 5:30 p.m. Friday afternoon’s scrimmage at the baseball facility before the open house is CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC.

Parking at the facility will be available on a first come, first serve basis. The main parking lot is located on Williams Street behind the facility. Season baseball parking passes are NOT applicable for the open house.

Fans are also encouraged to park at Colonial Life Arena with free shuttle service dropping off right at the main entrance to the stadium on Williams & Wheat Street. Shuttle service over to the stadium will begin at 5 p.m. and will be provided from Colonial Life Arena Lot B to the stadium. Lot B is bordered by Blossom, Gadsden, Devine and Lincoln Streets.

Since Carolina Stadium is located in a heavy traffic area, it is recommended that all fans take the free shuttle to avoid any unnecessary delays due to peak rush hour traffic and the possibility of heavy traffic flow on Blossom and Huger streets. Street parking is not allowed on Huger, Blossom, Williams, Wheat or Catawba streets.

A reminder to fans that no food or drinks will be allowed into the stadium.

In addition to shuttle service, several business lots will be available for parking for the open house. Business lots will not be available until 5:30 p.m.
