Safety of the players, spectators and staff is our main concern at South Carolina United FC. No weather event is more dangerous than lightning. Because of this threat, we have installed the Thorguard Lightning Prediction System. This system can provide advance warning of a lightning hazard, allowing you the time to seek shelter. 

You will be alerted by one loud horn blast that will last 15 seconds. Upon hearing the horns, everyone should see shelter immediately in permanent buildings or vehicles.  When this occurs, a strobe light located with the horns will activate and remain active while under a weather alert. Every attempt should be made to seek shelter in a safe environment. The Thorguard system will determine when conditions are safe to return to your previous activities.

Three 5-second blasts will indicate that everything is all clear and the strobe light will cease operation. 

Horns and a strobe light are located on the roof of the of the SCUFC Southeastern Freight Lines, SCUFC West, and Polo Road Concession Buildings.

ALWAYS AVOID THE FOLLOWING: Athletic Fields & Bleachers, Open Areas Bodies of Water, Doors & Windows, Isolated Trees, and High Elevations.
