USC released preliminary plans for a new Stadium Project — a potential $1 billion development undertaking that could change the landscape of the Soda City by modernizing Williams-Brice Stadium and the surrounding area.

On Tuesday, the university issued a formal Request for Information (RFI) to find partners to develop more than 800 acres adjacent to the Congaree river near Williams-Brice Stadium.

🏗️ Here's a quick rundown of the Stadium Project:

Phase one would develop areas adjacent to Williams-Brice Stadium, including renovations that would allow the venue to open for other public events in addition to football games (think: more Beyoncé and Rolling Stones concerts).
Phase two would develop 17 acres around Colonial Life Arena.
USC aims to fund the projects through a Master Development Agreement or a Ground Lease of owned properties to generate revenue without looking to taxpayers, students, or fans.
The timeline is still up in the air, but RFI submissions are due at the beginning of March.
