For the second time this season, the venue at a South Carolina game had problems with the facilities.
There was an announcement in the press box during the first quarter of Saturday’s game with Texas A&M at Kyle Field that if fans needed to use the restroom, they had to leave the stadium.
When South Carolina hosted Kentucky earlier this month, Williams-Brice Stadium experienced problems with water pressure. Athletics director Ray Tanner in a letter to fans responded to complaints over water pressure and long lines at concession stands that all coincided with the Gamecocks’ loss to Kentucky.
Tanner added that City of Columbia Water Works personnel were contacted and began working with university plumbers and staff to resolve the issue as soon as the low pressure was reported.

PA: Stadium has had a water leak, so fans are being asked to not use the bathrooms. Not kidding. Something about USC and water pressure.
