Legacy Rugby Field at the
Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center
|
 |
Legacy Field at the Strom Thurmond Wellness and
Fitness Center is the primary home of men's
rugby at the University of South Carolina, and
is the secondary pitch for the women's rugby
club. Opened in spring of 2007, the field serves
as a showcase for rugby in the Southeast, in
what many opponents have described as "the most
beautiful field they've ever seen in college
rugby." The field lays adjacent to the
university's awe-inspiring Strom Thurmond
Wellness and Fitness Center and the impressive
USC Greek Village system, with views of the
STWFC pool, the university's 4 year-old Colonial
Center, the historic Carolina Coliseum, and the
horizon-dominating Williams-Brice Stadium. The
field is also a hub for activity as it is
located in the heart of the university new
InnoVista research area, under construction as
we speak. The men's rugby club at South Carolina
is proud to call this pitch home for many years
to come.
Did you know?
The field's first ever event was hosted
by the men's rugby club, as South Carolina RFC
defeated Kennesaw State, 47-10, on February 3rd,
2007. |

Parking Information |
1.
The host club generally suggests parking next to
the Coliseum, located across Blossom Street from
the Strom Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Center.
There are also a number of meter spots along
Assembly Street, as the City of Columbia does
not assess meter fines on the weekend.
2. Due to an unfortunate change of direction, we
strongly suggest you do NOT park in the Greene's
parking lot.
3. Spillover parking is also available along
Catawba Street west of Assembly Street (Sonic
side), next to what appears to be an abandoned
brick building. This is on the other (south)
side of Sonic (away from the field),
NOT the side next to the field by
the railroad track.
4. Do NOT park in the STWC lot south of
Blossom Street or the Greek Village if you do
not have a pass for said lots. You will be towed
if you do so. |
|
Parking Map (USC) |
|
The
hosting club suggests you park in AD2, AD3, AD4,
or AD5, or along Assembly, Sumter, or Main
Street at the parking meters. Columbia does not
enforce weekend parking.
