A quick Williams-Brice survival guide:

  • Police advise fans to use I-77 — accessible from I-26 and I-20 — to get to the stadium.
  • Gameday shuttle services are free to students with proof of a Carolina card.
  • Bring cash. We suggest anywhere from $20 to $60. Many nearby businesses, churches + residences sell spots in their parking lots.
  • Post-game stadium traffic will have priority. See the pre-game + post-game traffic flow patterns.
