Directions:
The best gate to use from West Columbia will be Gate 2 located on Forest Drive at Exit 12 on I-77. The gate is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The address for your navigation app is 4120 Moseby St, Columbia, SC 29207.
Driving time:
Drive time to the gate is roughly 20 minutes depending on traffic.
After getting through the checkpoint, there is an additional 10 minute drive to Hilton Field.
Be sure to arrive early! When our son graduated, we missed the beginning of the ceremonies because we were unprepared for the volume of traffic and parking.
