Event-Day Parking at Carolina Coliseum
Carolina Coliseum is at 701 Assembly Street, 0.5 mi from Columbia centre. The University of South Carolina says visitors can park in university areas classified as Student, Faculty/Staff, Reserved, Any Decal and Visitor/Hourly (sc.edu). Those categories matter on event days, because a lot that appears convenient may have a permit or visitor-use rule.
The university’s parking information identifies five parking zones rather than a single event lot (sc.edu). The South Carolina Gamecocks’ gameday guidance places RV parking at the Fairgrounds on the east side of Assembly Street and at Gate 12 on Rosewood Drive (gamecocksonline.com). That advice is for football gamedays, so RV drivers should use those named locations rather than trying to fit a large vehicle into a standard university space.
Named Parking Alternatives Near the Venue
The university’s parking information lists Visitor/Hourly as one of its parking categories, alongside Student, Faculty/Staff, Reserved and Any Decal areas (sc.edu). For a visitor attending an event near Carolina, those university areas are the most relevant named alternative to look for in the official parking information.
The South Carolina Gamecocks identify the Fairgrounds as an RV parking location on the east side of Assembly Street and also name Gate 12 on Rosewood Drive for gameday RV parking (gamecocksonline.com). The Fairgrounds is therefore a practical alternative for oversized vehicles, while Gate 12 provides a second named access point. The published guidance does not provide a standard car rate for either location, so no event-day car price is included here.
Street Restrictions Around Carolina Coliseum
University parking around Carolina is divided into Student, Faculty/Staff, Reserved, Any Decal and Visitor/Hourly zones (sc.edu). Those labels indicate that access depends on the designation shown for each area, rather than treating every university space as unrestricted public parking.
Assembly Street is specifically used as a reference point in the football gameday parking guidance, which places the Fairgrounds on its east side (gamecocksonline.com). Rosewood Drive is also named as the location of Gate 12 for gameday RV parking (gamecocksonline.com). Drivers bringing an RV should approach through one of those published locations instead of relying on general curb parking near 701 Assembly Street.
Parksy Spaces for Carolina Coliseum Events
The closest priced Parksy option is an outdoor lot on Lincoln Street, 1.3 mi from the venue, at $1 an hour. That distance makes it a better fit for drivers who want a low hourly rate and are comfortable with a longer return walk after a show or match.
Further options include a secure 24/7 gated parking space in West Columbia at $165 a month, a secure gated lot in West Columbia at $165 a month, and a secure 24/7 parking lot in Columbia at $75 a week, each 7.0 mi away.

These monthly and weekly spaces suit storage more than a single event because their listed distances require a separate onward trip.
