The best seats for Univ. of South Carolina home women's basketball games "will come at a higher price this season," according to Josh Kendall of the Columbia STATE. For the first time, the school is "requiring fans to make a 'seat donation' for the right to be in certain seats at women’s games." The charges "apply only to courtside seats" at Colonial Life Arena. The donation fee "will be $400 annually for the first row in courtside sections and $200 annually for seating in the lower rows." The change "will affect roughly 320 seats, less than" 2% of capacity. The women's basketball team has "led the nation in attendance each of the past four seasons" (Columbia STATE, 7/7).
