South Carolina has provided an update its Williams-Brice Stadium project via release... - The state of SC's Legislature’s Joint Bond Review Committee and State Fiscal Accountability Authority gave approval to the next step of the project which includes schematic design and cost estimating. The University will return to the Committees later in 2025 seeking formal approval on the full scope and cost. - The next step in the planning process is the issuance of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a construction manager for the project, which will be issued in the weeks ahead. - South Carolina has chosen internationally known architectural design firm Populous for the project. Populous has worked with the New York Yankees, Kansas City Chiefs, the English Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspurs, Serie A Inter Milan, the University of Texas, the University of Oklahoma, the Olympic Games and the World Cups in the past. A formal engagement with Populous should be completed in the weeks ahead. - As previously announced, the project will initially focus primarily on the West Side of the stadium with some improvements to the student experience on the North Side, while enhancing the experience for all Gamecock fans. Included in the initial plans are premium suites of varying sizes and the installation of club seats. - AD Jeremiah Donati once again highlighted that one of the goals of the project is to "generate new revenue streams that will help provide a sustainable future"
