The last year was tough for a lot of people, and for teachers in particular. As our community strives to return to as much normalcy as possible, South Carolina Athletics is once again proud to honor educators by partnering with the UofSC College of Education and the South Carolina Department of Education to host Gamecock Football Teacher Appreciation Day. The University is offering discounted tickets for all educators, school staff, and their families for South Carolina’s football game against Vanderbilt on Saturday, October 16.

“We missed having Teacher Appreciation Day in 2020 due to the pandemic,” said Blake Woodward, Associate General Manager for Ticket Sales. “Last year was challenging for all, but especially for teachers. This year we look forward to recognizing teachers once again in Williams-Brice Stadium for their hard work and dedication.”

The Gamecocks were unable to provide the offer last year due to limited seating during the COVID pandemic, but the previous year the Gamecocks had more than 3,000 educators attend.

“Come this October, we are excited to have teachers in the stands for Teacher Appreciation Day,” Woodward said. “We plan on inviting all South Carolina District Teachers of the Year to be honored on the field.”

Tickets are only $30 each, a discount of $20, and educators do not have to be members of the Gamecock Club to buy the tickets. In addition to the discount and on-field presentation, educators will be honored on the video board inside Williams-Brice Stadium. Sections where educators are seated will also be highlighted on the video board during the game.

Educators can buy as many tickets as they need at the discounted rate to enjoy the game with family and friends. They can also share a unique link with others that will allow them to sit together while ordering separately.

While the ticket sales for Gamecock Football Teacher Appreciation Day are aimed at educators in South Carolina, teachers and school staff in neighboring states who are willing to make the trip to Columbia for the game are also allowed to take advantage of the discount.
