South Carolina spring game 2025 tickets: Where to buy, pricing, venue details and more

The South Carolina Gamecocks will host their annual spring game on April 18th of this year. Unlike several other Power Four programs, South Carolina has decided to forge ahead with the traditional event despite growing worries about the impact this kind of game has on the tapering of players.

This means that Gamecocks fans won't have to wait until the fall to see some proper scrimmage take place. The good news here is that the attendance for the game will be free for all fans. The school is instead using auctions and hospitality experiences during the event to raise some revenue for the program.

Some of the hospitality experiences already available for sale are sideline photos on the field with Cocky (The school's mascot), videoboard messages, watching warm-ups from the visitor sideline, watching a quarter from the field or viewing the post game fireworks from the field. Tours of Williams-Brice Stadium will also be offered on the day at 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. ET.

Parking will also be free.

Here's what offensive coordinator Mike Shula said about the game:

“I think just more so to let our guys go play. I mean, sometimes, a lot of times, we as coaches think we’re gurus, and we can try to out-scheme each other and this and that.

"You do want to kind of have success. So if there’s any place that we’re having that we struggled with against our defense, we got them on run in the spring game, which our defense got to say, ‘Yeah, that’s a lot of plays.’ But no, you just want our guys to go out there and feel comfortable with what they’re doing and then go execute. So I think that’d be the goal across the board.”
