Eugene E. Stone III Stadium is a soccer stadium located in Columbia, South Carolina on the campus of the University of South Carolina. The 5,700 seat ground is home to the USC Gamecocks soccer teams.
Stone Stadium was built in 1996 thanks to a USD$1m grant from Eugene E. Stone III, a Carolina graduate.
The nickname "the Graveyard" comes from the stadium's proximity to House of Peace cemetery.
