Brooks Stadium, Football stadium in Conway, United States

Brooks Stadium is an American football venue with 21000 seats at Coastal Carolina University, featuring teal artificial turf and contemporary athletic facilities. The Marrio and Josh Norman Fieldhouse sits adjacent to the playing surface and houses training spaces along with strength conditioning areas.

Groundbreaking took place on July 30, 2002, on a former Conway High School football site overgrown with wild watermelons. The stadium was dedicated on September 6, 2003, as Coastal Carolina beat Newberry College before more than 8,000 fans. A $38 million expansion, begun March 21, 2017, raised capacity from 6,408 to over 20,000 seats for the Sun Belt Conference and NCAA FBS requirements.

The stadium is named for Coby Garrett Brooks and Boni Belle Brooks, children of Robert Brooks, a Loris, South Carolina native and chairman of Hooters of America. The playing field itself is James C. Benton Field, named in October 2006 to honor the Benton family for a large donation to Coastal athletics.

Visitors reach the venue through the university campus in Conway and can find parking near the facility. Most events take place during fall when the university teams play their home games throughout the football season.

The field itself carries a separate name, James C. Benton Field, given in 2006 after a family donation. The teal artificial turf sets the playing surface apart from the green turf of most college stadiums.
