Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina will overflow with spectators for Saturday night’s matchup against No. 5 Tennessee.
As announced by South Carolina’s social media team on Monday night, the game on Saturday will be sold-out under the lights.
The capacity for Williams-Brice Stadium is set at 77,559 fans.
However, according to ESPN, each of South Carolina’s sellouts this season has been over capacity. With South Carolina’s fifth game of the season moved to a Thursday night, all of the Gamecocks’ home Saturday games have been sold out.
