Blatt PE Center Rugby Field

Picture
The Rugby Field at the Blatt PE Center is a secondary pitch for the Men's Rugby Team.

Did you know? The Blatt P.E. Center is named in honor of Solomon Blatt Sr, South Carolina alum and former Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives. Solomon Blatt represented Barnwell County for 54 consecutive years in the South Carolina House of Representatives, serving as Speaker of that distinguished body for 32 of those years. Following a life-long career in the legislature, he was honored by the Council of State Governments as the longest serving state legislator in the nation.


Gameday Information

Please arrive for games at least 15 minutes prior to kick-off, both to ensure you make it to  the match on time and to enjoy our pre-match festivities. Matches may be cancelled, many times may be changed, or opponents may be  changed at any time, so please keep up-to-date  with us here at uscrugby.org. We ask that our spectators respect our field rope and stand at least 5m away from the pitch at all times in accordance to USA Rugby's safety regulations.

Pitch Rules

1. No  alcohol of any form is allowed on the pitch, open or not. 
2. In accordance with University of South Carolina wellness policy, tobacco and other  smoking products are not allowed on the pitch.
3. No dogs or other pets are allowed on the pitch.
4. No one may play golf or in any other way advertently harm the playing surface.
5. Failure to abide by these rules, or any rules posted on the playing surface, may result in a fine or removal from the facility.

Parking Information

1. The host team generally suggests parking at the meter spots along Wheat Street and Sumter Street, as the City of Columbia does not assess meter fines on the weekend.
2. Do NOT park in the Blossom Street or Bull Street garages if you do not have a pass for these areas. You will be towed if you do so.
3. Additional street parking is available on Assembly Street, which is two blocks from the Blatt P.E. Center Rugby Field, and near the SWTFC Rugby Field. Visitors may reach the Blatt P.E. Center Rugby Field by taking the Access Bridge across busy Assembly Street and then walking down Wheat Street. As is the case along Wheat Street and Sumter Street, the City of Columbia does not enforce its parking meters on the weekends (Saturday & Sunday). 
4. Please be aware of any areas labeled 'No Parking.' USC and the City of Columbia will not hesitate to tow illegally parked vehicles.
