Will Bank of American Stadium continue to be South Carolina football’s new second home? Or will the Gamecocks head far away to a bowl they haven’t played in for years?
Those are the questions facing USC fans as most of college football wrapped up its regular season on Saturday and Will Muschamp’s squad left Clemson with a 56-35 loss, and there’s still not much clarity as to the answers.
Throughout the latter half of the season, many national media outlets have continued to predict South Carolina will play the postseason in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte at the home of the Carolina Panthers, despite the facts that the Gamecocks opened the 2017 season and will play their 2019 and 2023 openers there and that a short drive to Charlotte would likely mean a dip in hotel room sales.
