South Carolina baseball increases capacity at Founders Park for rest of 2021
South Carolina baseball’s players and coaches have made no secret of how much they’ve enjoyed the team’s home field advantage at Founders Park this season — and starting this weekend, it could get even bigger.
USC announced Monday that it would allow for increased capacity at Founders Park for the rest of the 2021 season, going from 1,938 to 3,350 as statewide COVID-19 protocols are eased.
The change comes just a few days before a massive series — No. 1 Arkansas is set to face the No. 11 Gamecocks starting Thursday in an SEC showdown that could have postseason implications.
The new capacity represents about 50% of all bleacher and fixed-back seats, the athletics department said.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
