Greenville, SC: The fan’s guide to the Upstate’s flagship city

South Carolina Gamecock fans were delighted to hear Sunday night their basketball team would be dancing in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2004.

To add even more icing to what’s already a pretty sweet cake, the Gamecock’s first round game is just an hour and 39 minute drive north of campus. At 9:40 pm South Carolina will tip off in Greenville, right in Clemson’s backyard.

Ten or maybe even five years ago Greenville was probably just another place. As a matter of fact there are 30 different Greenville’s in the United States — you can actually find two each in West Virginia and New York.
