Excellent!! I've been saying this for two years. If Williams Brice isn't an option, SCSU is by far the next best choice. Twice the capacity of Benedict's stadium.

Now, they just need to manage the parking. There are very few paved lots near the stadium, but there are three grass fields adjacent to the stadium that are lined off as parking lots. There are two more about 1000ft and 3/8 of a mile southwest of the stadium. To the north, there are some small paved lots 1/4 mile north of the stadium at the arena and admin building, and more grass fields 1/3 of a mile north near the softball field.

I don't know what the traffic pattern will be, but if they try to funnel everyone into one or two entrances to collect parking fees, it will continue to be a nightmare. I understand they need to cover the costs of the games, but don't do it with parking fees collected at the entrance, just raise the price of a ticket or sell parking passes in advance.

I didn't mind having the games at Benedict since My Beaufort Eagles Football Team made it to the 3A State Championship Game for 2 straight years there. :mrgreen: 8-) ;). But SC State would be a little closer to us and I wouldn't mind the State Titles Games being played there. I am still hoping to see all the games back at Williams Brice Stadium though.

Best thing that could happen is for the SCHSL to get out of the way and let the people that run the stadium take care of parking. These people know how to get folks in and out and how to handle parking. I'm sure they can even coordinate a shuttle service to and from the gate. Last year was a complete circus with power tripping SCHSL people running the show. We all know that will not happen.

Anything is better than Benedict. I just hope that they allow charging one price for three games like they used to and let the crowd in for multiple games. That was the feature that made WB the best

If they continue to have the games
on different days. Might as well go
back to the old days having the
championship game for each division
at the school stadium.
