re: Gamecock fans, question about tailgating in Columbia

Also, if you are a smooth talker and friendly, you will see several private "tailgate clubs" with bands, covered party spots, VT's etc., maybe you schmooze your way in, if you are real slick, you will walk up to the caboose area and party there as well, they are all nice folk, fear not. But you will have no problem walking into the new farmers market tailgate area and partying in the free/open to public area that has tents from many corporate sponsors like TWC etc
