Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy looked over to the windows in the cafeteria of the Long Family Football Operations Center. He briefly glanced, with a little bit of a smirk on his face, at the view of Williams-Brice Stadium off in the distance.

Brownlow-Dindy, a transfer defensive lineman joining South Carolina, remembered what it was like to be a visitor at Williams-Brice. Spending three seasons at Texas A&M, he made the trip when the Aggies played at South Carolina in 2024.

The game was tied at 20 going into halftime. But the Gamecocks shut out then-No. 10 A&M in the second half to roll to a 44-20 win, which ended in their second field storming in the last three seasons.

Looking back on that night, Brownlow-Dindy was amazed by the spectacle of how “wild” the atmosphere was at Williams-Brice.

“It was crazy just seeing Stadium go dark and all that stuff like that,” Brownlow-Dindy told GamecockCentral, “and then playing all the songs and stuff; it was wild. I don’t know how else to describe it.”

Brownlow-Dindy, who figures to be an impactful player on the defensive line for the Gamecocks in 2025, played in eight games for Texas A&M. He had the chance to play his home games in arguably one of the premier venues in college football.

Kyle Field, home of the Aggies, seats more than 102,000 people. It’s the fourth-largest capacity college football stadium in the United States. Comparatively, South Carolina has the 18th-largest college football stadium, with a capacity of over 77,000.

While that’s more than a 25,000-seat difference, Brownlow-Dindy has an interesting perspective of how he would compare the two venues.

“Kyle Field, it’s loud. It gets loud, but I feel like (Williams-Brice Stadium and South Carolina fans) were really consistently loud throughout the whole game,” he said. “Even when there were bad plays, the next play they they continue to roar and do all that stuff. It was crazy. It was definitely hard to play in for sure.”
