Auburn Baseball Game in Columbia

2009-04-06T19:36:00.003-04:00

The Auburn baseball team will be taking on USC on April 17, 18 and 19. Our club will be tailgating and going to the game on Saturday, April 18. The game starts at 4, but we'll start tailgating around 1. We've reserved some space at the corner of Blossom Street and Williams Street, just a stones throw away from USC's new baseball facility.

Parking is limited in this parking lot, and cost $10 per spot, so if you are unable to find a spot there or don't want to pay $10, you can park somewhere else and walk over and join us. We will be providing some food including hotdogs, chips, potato salad, and pasta salads, and we'll have soft drinks for everyone. If you would like anything else to eat or prefer an adult beverage, you are welcome to bring your own.

We weren't able to work anything out with the ticket office, so we'll walk over and buy together so we can all enjoy the game together.

Let us know if you're interested. We look forward to a fun afternoon!
