Like most other schools, USC now splits up visitors, putting them in absolute worst seats. 501, 502, 508, 509 are in corners of East Upper Deck. Wear a hat, sun glasses, and/or sunscreen as the sun will be in your face if it's out. 900 sections are the endzone upper deck seats which aren't as bad as you might think considering they are endzone upper deck seats, except that the top 10 rows cannot see the back half of the endzone due to angle, so you could miss a last minute corner of the endzone Prothro catch to win the game. This was actually not a design error but a compromise made during design to get seats as close to the field as possible.
I'm a season ticket holder at USC so I'm in 507, pretty low. Good seats except for the sun. USC boosters in our section will be shocked to see us in our Bama garb Saturday as we normally pull hard for the Gamecocks any other week.
Columbia provides a nice college football atmosphere. If anyone is in town Friday nite stop by Jillians in the Vista. Bama Club of the Midlands is meeting there for food, drinks, games, pep rally, etc.
