South Carolina Homecoming Traditions We Love
One of the best things about Carolina Homecoming is everything happening around campus leading up to Saturday's game.
Homecoming on the Horseshoe
There's something special about being back on the Horseshoe!
On Friday, November 6, alumni can return to one of the most iconic spots on campus for Homecoming on the Horseshoe, an evening of music, food, and reconnecting with fellow Gamecocks.
It's the perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends and celebrate the memories that make Carolina feel like home.
Homecoming Week Celebrations
The excitement starts well before kickoff!
From the Homecoming Kick-Off Carnival to Spurs and Struts and the NPHC Step Show, there's plenty happening around campus throughout the week.
It's a chance for students to get involved, make memories, and celebrate their Gamecock pride before the big game.
Reuniting With Your Carolina Crew
For alumni, Homecoming is the perfect excuse to make a trip back to Columbia.
Revisit your favorite college spots, catch up with friends, and enjoy being back in the city where so many memories were made.
And of course, you'll need a little garnet and black for the occasion!
South Carolina vs. Texas A&M: Game Day at Williams-Brice!
After a full week of Homecoming celebrations, it's time for the main event!

South Carolina has won its last two home matchups against the Aggies, including a 44-20 victory in Columbia in 2024. Now, the Gamecocks have another opportunity to defend their home turf.
