SEC Tailgating: Where should you go in each town?

South Carolina (Columbia, SC)

Gamecock Park: One of the most electric tailgating scenes in college football, Gamecock Park is where you’ll find many of the gamecock faithful before the game begins. It fills up quick so if you’re planning on setting up, get there early.

Cockaboose Railroad: 22 cabooses are placed on tracks near the stadium that have been renovated into condos that serve as tailgates to those that reserve them on gameday. Even if you don’t have one reserved, it’s quite a sight to see.

Tennessee (Knoxville, TN)

G-10 Parking Garage: “G-10” is all you have to tell a Vols fan and they’ll know right where you are. This popular parking garage amongst Vols fans is one of the primary spots on gameday for tailgating. Go all the way to the top level and you have a beautiful view of the stadium and the Tennessee river. Go to the bottom level and you have easy access to tailgates sprawled out right next to the parking garage. This scene is so popular that country singer Morgan Wallen mentions it in his song “Had me by Halftime.”

Volunteer Village: A family-friendly spot for tailgating on gameday. You’ll hear live music, food and plenty of activities to get you ready for the game.

Vol Navy: Like The Grove in Oxford, the Vol Navy is another legendary tailgating scene on the Tennessee River alongside Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. You’ll find hundreds of boats floating on the river tailgating. Last year on ESPN’s College Gameday, host Pat McAfee joined the party and backflipped into the river.
