南卡罗来纳大学球场改造54间包厢全部售罄：二期工程季后开工
南卡罗来纳州 Columbia 的南卡罗来纳大学体育部10月20日宣布，该校 Williams-Brice Stadium「再造计划」的包厢销售已全部售罄：54间包厢，包括30间豪华包厢、12间创始者包厢和12间凉廊包厢，全部卖出，100层俱乐部仅剩少量席位。
南卡罗来纳大学体育部表示，新包厢买家多为 Gamecock Club 的长期会员，平均会员年资达22年。体育总监 Jeremiah Donati 表示，在二期工程开工之前就卖完所有包厢，证明了球迷的忠诚和他们对这个项目的热情；整个改造计划一直按时、按预算推进，达成了迄今设定的每一个目标。2024年7月的一次球迷调查显示，94%的球迷支持球场升级改造。
据校方介绍，一期工程已在2026赛季前完工，包括通道翻新、新洗手间和餐饮摊位、新客队更衣室及学生区初步改造；二期工程将在2026赛季结束后立即开工，新增各类高端席位并完成学生区改造；三期工程定于2027赛季后启动、2028赛季前完工，包括西南角新记分屏、东南角新塔楼和球场外立面收尾。高端席位的销售与募资由 Legends Global 负责管理。（GSM 据南卡罗来纳大学体育部官网 Gamecocks Online 报道）
University of South Carolina Sells Out All 54 Suites in Williams-Brice Stadium Project
In Columbia, South Carolina, the University of South Carolina athletics department announced on October 20 that suite sales for the Williams-Brice Stadium Reimagination Project are sold out. All 54 suites, including 30 luxury suites, 12 Founders' Suites, and 12 loge suites, have been sold, with only limited inventory remaining for the 100 Level Club.
The university said the new suites were bought by longtime Gamecock Club members, whose average tenure is 22 years. Director of Athletics Jeremiah Donati said selling out all suites before construction on Phase 2 begins is a testament to the loyalty of the fans and the excitement surrounding the project, and that the project has remained on schedule and on budget while achieving every goal established to date. A comprehensive fan survey in July 2024 found that 94 percent of fans supported stadium upgrades.
Phase 1 was completed ahead of the 2026 season and included concourse renovations, new restrooms and concession stands, a new visiting team locker room, and initial improvements to the student section. Phase 2 will begin immediately following the conclusion of the 2026 football season, introducing additional premium seating and completing the student section renovation. Phase 3 will begin following the 2027 season and is scheduled for completion ahead of the 2028 season, with a new videoboard in the southwest corner, a new tower in the southeast corner, and completion of the stadium's exterior upgrades. Legends Global manages premium seating sales and philanthropic fundraising for the project. (GSM, based on University of South Carolina Athletics, Gamecocks Online)
