Johnson Hagood Stadium

Johnson Hagood Stadium is a football facility in Charleston with seating for around 11,500 spectators and serves as home to the Citadel Bulldogs. The grounds include updated locker rooms, entertainment areas, and the Altman Athletic Center to support players and visitors.

The stadium first opened on October 16, 1948, when the Bulldogs played against Davidson College in its inaugural match. A major renovation in 2005 updated the facilities and prepared it for continued use in the years ahead.

The stadium honors General Johnson Hagood, a Citadel graduate whose military career shaped South Carolina's history, and the name reflects the deep connection between the institution and its notable alumni.

The stadium sits on the Citadel campus and is easy to locate, with parking available nearby for game attendees. Plan your visit during fall football season when the field is in full use and the atmosphere is most active.

Excavations in 1999 uncovered remains of crew members from the H.L. Hunley submarine buried beneath the grounds. This discovery links the stadium to a Civil War chapter many visitors never expect to find here.
