Charleston Battery (USL-1) (1999-Present) |
Blackbaud Stadium is a soccer-specific stadium located on Daniel Island in Charleston, South Carolina, that opened in 1999. The Charleston Battery call Blackbaud Stadium home.
Blackbaud Stadium, nicknamed Battery Park seats 5,100 people, mostly in two large stands on either side of the field.
The stadium is modeled on smaller, lower-division English soccer stadiums.
A unique feature of the stadium is the on-site pub, called "The Three Lions".
In early 2008 the Battery announced a plan to convert much of the stadium to solar energy. [1] The panels are said to offset as much as 12 tons of carbon dioxide per annum.
