Any chance of non-Carolina fans getting an invite into a cockabose or anything like that? Free parking anywhere (willing to walk a couple of miles)?
1) There are so many away fans for SC-UGA games you'll be able to find some friendlies in no time, but even as a UGA fan, who generally gets more hostility than about anyone else would in Columbia, there are always some hospitable Gamecocks.
2) You can try to go up Rosewood and park somewhere in the neighborhoods around there, or the old Sarge Frye baseball stadium parking lot.. but being a UGA-SC game it'll get packed quick.

First of all, our tailgating is different than most places. I'll probably get berated over this but I like ours maybe more than other places. The two main areas are large parking lots. Personally, I think it's better than the small lot areas in most college towns. It's more like one big party with lots of folks passing through vs seeing the same thing all day. If you don't really have anybody to party with, make your way to the Loose Cockaboose bar. This is not an actual Cockaboose. Those are owned by rich folks.That does not mean they wouldn't welcome you in but in now way does it represent how the vast majority of Gamecocks tailgate.

I talked to one of your old QB during the SEC championship game in 2010 and he was telling me his family owned a tailgate spot near the stadium. Talked like these spots do not come up for sale very often. How big of an area is it where people own individual tailgate spots? That would be cool to have a spot that you could pass down from generation to generation.
The guys name was Kyle don't remember his last name but he played for Lou Holtz. His dad was also there and he played on South Carolina's team when they won an ACC championship. Really nice guys and enjoyed talking to them.
