Commonly asked questions about Memorial Lot.

What is the deadline to renew and when do spots go on sale to the public?

June 7, 2019 - Deadline to request spot renewal.
June 10, 2019 - Spots go on sale to the public.
August 23, 2019 - Spot assignments will be emailed out.
September 6, 2019 - Parking pass and wristband pickup for 2019 Season.

How much is a space and how many are there?

$550.00 and 210 individual spots.

Why is a spot $550.00?

This covers the cost of all operating expenses of the lot. If you break down the price of a spot ($550.00) divided by the amount of home games (7) divided by the number of wristbands per spot (10) the actual cost of tailgating comes down to $7.85 per person per game. We feel that price is more than fair.

Why do you make people have wristbands?

This is a complicated question but the quick answer is we had two choices: Choice 1, no Memorial Lot. Choice 2, require wristbands. We chose the second option. The University of South Carolina has gotten too big and Carolina Tailgating has gotten too popular to be able to run a lot safely without wristbands. In fact, almost all tailgate lots in Columbia require their patrons to have wristbands for entry to the property.

How many wristbands does a spot get and how do we get them?

Each spot gets 10 wristbands per game. Wristbands are handed out to spot owners the day before every home game. To prevent overcrowding this number was agreed upon by administration and law enforcement. Doing the math if you split a spot 10 ways each person only pays $55.00 for a season of tailgating. That means each person in your group is only paying $7.85 per game to tailgate.

Can we request our same spot from last year?

Yes. An email will go out for spot requests. Purchase your spot and look for an email from administration in the next few weeks.

Can we request to be by our friends?

Yes. An email will go out for spot requests. Purchase your spot and look for an email from administration in the next few weeks.

Do you have customer service?

Yes, if you have an issue or concern shoot us an email. MemorialLot@Gmail.com

How and when do we get our passes?

Passes will be available for pickup from 1030 Andrews Road (Memorial Lot Location) the week before the first home football game. Pickup times are announced via email to spot owners.
