It is the home field of the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers baseball team.

History

Stadium capacity was expanded to nearly 2,200 during the 2008 season, with the addition of a right field deck dubbed, "The Rooster's Nest". With the addition of temporary seating down the base lines, the stadium played host to an NCAA Regional for the first time in 2008. In 2007, the Chanticleers hosted an NCAA Regional for the first time, but due to the limited seating capacity at Charles Watson Stadium, the event was hosted at nearby BB&T Coastal Field.

The field has hosted eight Big South Conference Baseball Tournaments, more than any other venue. It hosted the event in 1990–93, 1999–2000, and 2005–06.[1]

In 2010, the Chanticleers ranked 42nd among Division I baseball programs in attendance, averaging 1,318 per home game.[2]

After years of dreaming, planning, ideas and finally construction – part of a joint $15.2 million project that also included a new softball stadium – Coastal Carolina will formally debut its new Springs Brooks Stadium when the Chanticleers open their baseball season Feb. 13. The new stadium includes 4,000-5,000 expected available capacity, including standing room, and a $700,000 new scoreboard and sound system.
