re: Gamecock fans, question about tailgating in Columbia

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.
