As someone mentioned earlier, Five Points is a cool little district of bars in Columbia. Weird set up for the campus though. You can't tell where the campus starts and the city begins and the stadium is a little far away from everything unlike Death Valley being in the middle of campus.

Yeah, if Five Points could talk..I can imagine the stories it would tell would be very entertaining. Everybody that went to Carolina has their own share of Five Points stories.

Willy B kinda had to be built where it's situated for several reasons, the main one being that back then the campus was pretty much situated around the horseshoe in the heart of downtown Cola so it was impossible to build it on or near campus bc of the city and the businesses there. The campus now, however, has grown and continues to do so towards where the stadium sits.

Sorry..didn't mean to rattle off a brief history of Carolina!
