Williams-Brice Stadium, formerly Carolina Stadium, was first constructed in 1934 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Then, it seated 17,600 Gamecock fans. It has undergone a number of expansions and revisions over the years, with the largest prior to the 1982 expansion coming in 1971-1972. A bequest from the estate of Mrs. Martha Williams- Brice helped boost the capacity then from slightly more than 43,000 to greater than 54,000.

Mrs. Williams-Brice’s husband, Thomas H. Brice, was a Gamecock football letterman from 1922-24, and her family operated the Williams Furniture Company in Sumter. She left a substantial inheritance from the furniture fortune to her nephews, Thomas W. and Philip L. Edwards, much of which they passed on to the University of South Carolina. That included a bequest for the stadium project.

The name was officially changed from Carolina Stadium to Williams-Brice Stadium in dedication ceremonies during the Sept. 9, 1972 opener with Virginia. 1934 Added in 2012 was a $6.5 million state-of-the-art videoboard that sits above the north stands. It measures 36’ x 124’.

The University’s athletic teams have been known as Gamecocks dominant ones on the gamecock, which is the University’s official mascot for for almost 100 years. its athletic teams. At the turn of the 20th century, after struggling for more than decade un- der numerous nicknames, the school’s football team was the impetus of the new moniker. In 1903, Columbia’s morning newspaper, The State, shortened the name to one word and South Carolina teams have been Gamecocks ever since. Those early teams must have been a feisty and spirited group. A gamecock, of course, is a fighting rooster known for its spirit and courage. A cock fight, which was a popular sport throughout the United States in the 19th century, would last until the death of one of the combatants. Cock fighting has been outlawed by most states for humanitarian reasons, but it is still held surrepti- tiously in many areas. The State of South Carolina has long been closely connected with the breeding and training of fighting gamecocks. General Thomas Sumter, famed guerrilla fighter of the Revolutionary War, was known as “The Fight- ing Gamecock.”
