Parking Information Announced for October 16 State Fair Game

Due to the annual South Carolina State Fair, those Gamecock Club members with seasonal reserved parking in the Lexington Medical Center (LMC) Fair Park will not have access to their pre-assigned parking location for the South Carolina – Vanderbilt football game on Saturday, October 16. Impacted donors should note that their parking for the season does not include a hang tag for this game, as fairgrounds parking for the game will be open to the public assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.  
 
The Fairgrounds parking lot will open at 9 am for both fair and football parking. Parking is $20 in the LMC Fair parking lot with cash and credit cards being accepted. Vehicles will be parked on a first-come, first-served basis, with fairgrounds employees handling all parking-related matters in that lot. Vehicles will be allowed to enter through either Gate 6 off Assembly Street, or Gate 10 off Bluff Road. Gates 7, 8 and 9 will be used as exit gates only. No tents, awnings, chairs or grills will be allowed. Gamecock Club hanging tags will not be recognized.
 
Patrons with a handicap parking tag will enter the fairgrounds through Gate 6 or Gate 10. Handicapped parking is available in designated spots only and on a first-come, first served basis. There is no handicapped shuttle available to the stadium from the fairgrounds.
