What if there were a long greenway stretching from the waterway to the stadium, allowing for pedestrian traffic and tailgating? What if there were commemorations of the school’s athletic history along that greenway? What if, as has already been mentioned by many others, there were opportunities for residential and retail development that would make gamedays more enjoyable?
Sounds great but this is some of the same property that they tried to build Green Diamond which was going to be shopping and housing but it's all deep in the flood plan and no one would finance it. The river is still there and still runs out of it's banks so what happened in 25 years to now they can build this. Heck we still have 5 points stores getting inches of water in their stores and cars at the University half flooded just with a heavy rainfall.

I like the idea of a nine hole golf course over there.

Well I'm hearing that funding is already accounted for. If they pull off what they have envisioned South Carolina will be a MUST game to attend. No other school will have anything like this and I'm shocked that this has been in the works but will put us as a destination stop for sure.

That’s the one thing I’d like to know about before any development takes place - what will be done to mitigate the risk of flooding as much as possible? IIRC, that’s one of the factors that killed the Green Diamond project - and I think I was still in college when this was discussed (early 2000’s).
ETA: if the school already has the funding for it, bra-vo! I’m surprised that this was kept a secret for this long…

Billion Dollar stadium area improvement while vast numbers of people no longer go to games or brick and mortar retail. Brilliant
