Athletic facilities at The Citadel are among the finest in the Southern Conference.
Home football games are played in historic Johnson
Hagood Stadium. Originally built in 1948, the stadium is currently in the
midst of a major revitalization project.
McAlister Field House,
which houses the Athletic Department staff and several
coaches’ offices, was built in 1939 and renovated in 1989. Seating 6,000 for
Bulldog basketball games, McAlister Field House also serves as home of the
volleyball team as well as the site for graduations, concerts and a variety of
other events. New women’s locker rooms are currently being added to the Field
House.
Next to McAlister Field House is
Vandiver Hall
which opened in 1991 and
provides the Bulldog soccer, baseball, wrestling, golf, volleyball, cross-country
and track and field teams with a modern and well-equipped facility. Dressing
and locker rooms, a golf driving range, a wrestling room, and a baseball batting
tunnel are a few of the features of Vandiver Hall.
Seignious Hall,
which is located directly behind Vandiver Hall, houses the
football coaches’ offices and the football locker room, along with a top of the
line training room. Also located in this facility are a spacious weight room and
equipment room.
The Donald C. Bunch Courts at the Earle Tennis Center, site of the 2001
Southern Conference Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships, receive a
significant amount of play year-round. The men’s and women’s soccer teams
utilize WLI Field along the Ashley River as well as Johnson Hagood Stadium
while the track and field teams use a track surrounding one of the football
team’s two practice fields.
In April 1997, The Citadel’s baseball team moved into the new, state-of-the-art
Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park,
located on the banks of the Ashley River. The
6,000-seat park, which serves as home of the annual Southern Conference Baseball
Championship, features the Bulldog locker room, luxury suites, an indoor
batting tunnel and a major league style matrix board. The Citadel utilizes nearby
College Park
as a practice site during the year.
