Ticket allotment increa
Stadium at
By Todd Shealy
The addition of a new upper deck to
Williams-Brice Stadium should allow every
USC student who has paid his activity fee
a ticket to any home football game,
according to USC's ticket manager. Gary
Goodman said the increased student
allotment of 4,000 tickets should allow any
full-time student, or part-time student who
has paid his activity fee, to get a ticket to
annual sellouts like Ciemson.
I Witn 11,000 tickets available the past year,
Mississippi and Clemson were the only
games to use the total student allotment,
according to Goodman. The 4,000 extra
tickets should cover student demand for the
most popular games, he said.
GOODMAN EXPLAINED that seating for
students, faculty and staff will basically
remain in the lower deck, with the exception
of the band's move from sections 40 and 41 to
corner sections 33, 34 and 35. This move will
benefit both students and the band,
providing students with about 500 choirp
location seats and giving the band better
access to the field. Since band members will
have three aisles to move up and down on
instead of two, the halftime traffic problems
should be lessened.
Goodman said the new upper deck, adding
about 18,000 seats, will be divided amoung
USC students, Gamecock Club members

upper deck's southeast side.
Seating visiting fans in the new upper
deck will make the entire west stands
available for Gamecock Club members,
Goodman said. He added that tickets not
sold to club members or visiting teams will
be made available to the general public, but
he didn't expect many seats to go unsold.
GOODMAN SAID the increase in stadium
capacity has increased the ticket allocation
for block seating. He said he has alreadv
contacted Student Government and Greek
organizations concerning their seating needs,
and hopes to get other organizations, such
as dorms, to apply for block seating.
"We just want all the kids to come to the
games, and with some of the freshmen, the
chances of their coming are 4*etter if they
can sit with their friends," Goodman said.
He added that the more students turn in ID
cards for block seating, fewer will miss
class while standing in line for tickets.
However, he said the best seats will be given
to those students who pick up their tickets
individually.
