Already nationally-renown as one of the top team entrances in all of college football, the South Carolina Gamecocks will be adding another dimension to their pregame ritual in 2017.

New this season will be four flame units, with each unit producing flames in excess of 20 feet, and eight Co2 jets that will create plumes of ‘smoke’ between 20-25 feet long, according to Eric Nichols, South Carolina Senior Associate AD/Marketing & Branding. The flame units will be fired as the team enters the field to the traditional “2001: A Space Odyssey” theme that has become synonymous with Gamecock Football.
