Coastal Carolina is hosting an NCAA regional for the fourth time in its 16 all-time regional appearances, and just the second time on campus.
The Chanticleers also hosted in 2007, 2008 and 2010, and they are hosting at Springs Brooks Stadium, which opened in 2015, for the first time.
“I’ve been coaching 33 years and worked a whole lifetime to get a stadium that’s one of the best stadiums in the country and to achieve some of the things we’ve achieved over the last 10 or 15 years here at Coastal Carolina,” CCU coach Gary Gilmore said.
