Parking Information

Parking Areas

If you purchased a season parking pass you will be parking in the parking lot that corresponds to the parking lot number and address with which it is associated (Note: while there are reserved parking lots, there are NOT reserved numbered parking spaces in them). If you do not have a parking pass you should consider taking the baseball shuttle that picks up at the Carolina Life Area parking lot B that is located at Blossom, Lincoln, Devine and Gadsden streets. The shuttle will run continuously before, during and after the baseball game for one hour. The cost to use the shuttle is $2.00 per person round trip and there is no cost for parking. Please see the game information chart for the hours of operation. The trip takes less than 8 minutes and the wait time according to most fans is minimal.

If you are looking for game day parking, the lots cost $10.00/$5.00. Please review the 2010 Gamecock Baseball Parking Map (available in late January 2010).

Entrance into Williams St., Wheat St. and Catawba St. is by permit only. You must have a Hang tag to access the various parking lots and or a window decal for Granby Mill Village or the Rapid Apartments.

When traveling near the Carolina Baseball Stadium please be advised that pedestrian safety is of the utmost importance and that traffic will be halted for pedestrians and their safety. Before and after the game, pedestrians will have the right of way at the intersection of Wheat and Williams Sts. and at Williams and Catawba Sts. Your cooperation is most appreciated.

FAQs

Q. We would like to come early on game days and tailgate, which parking area should we request?
If you would like to come early and tailgate, you should request a season parking pass for Lot 1. That's a large grass lot located in left field on the corner of Williams, Wheat and Blossom Streets in the red zone.

Q. Where do you anticipate having handicap parking?
We anticipate handicapped parking at the right corner of Williams and Wheat Street in Lot 3 with approximately 60 parking spaces.

Q. How will parking in business parking lots around the stadium area affect me during game days?
On games scheduled during the weekdays, you will have access to park in the business parking lots beginning at 5:00 pm. With games on Saturday and Sunday, it will not interfere with business hours which should not present any issues with parking.
