College Park

College Park is a stadium in Charleston, South Carolina. It was primarily used for baseball and was the home of Charleston RiverDogs. The ballpark has a capacity of 4,000 people and opened in 1939. The grandstand is constructed of metal bleachers and is largely covered by a roof. The first few rows of seats between the dugouts are situated below ground level, giving fans the rare perspective seen from dugout level.

Stadium Usage:
Elvis Presley played a concert at College Park on June 28, 1956 to a crowd of 4,000. College Park was the primary shooting location for the 1998 film Major League: Back to the Minors, in which it was called "Buzz Stadium."

College Park hosted some of baseball's greatest players of all time including Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe Jackson. College Park said goodbye to professional baseball in 1996 when the Class A Tampa Bay Devil Rays affiliate, now a Yankees affiliate, Charleston RiverDogs left the stadium for Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, a new facility on the banks of the Ashley River in Charleston.

The stadium was home to 1990 The Citadel Bulldogs baseball team for their memorable College World Series run. That season also began nineteen consecutive years of Charleston hosting the Southern Conference Baseball Tournament, which followed the Bulldogs move to Riley Park in 1997. Charleston's Burke High School will play its home games at College Park for the 2013 season while their own stadium is under construction.

Current Usage:
The stadium is used as a practice facility by The Citadel Bulldogs, especially when Riley Stadium is unavailable, and used by many community teams during the season. Other community events are also held throughout the year. The Citadel has considered using the facility for women's soccer, which the school began sponsoring as a varsity sport in 2001.
