Brooks Stadium is all ready for Coastal Carolina’s 2017 season opener Saturday night against Massachusetts … for the most part.
The school was required to expand its stadium for its first season at the Football Bowl Subdivision level in the Sun Belt Conference, and the addition of nearly 5,800 seats that bring the seating capacity to about 15,500 has been completed.
On Thursday morning, the school will receive a review and inspection by a representative of the South Carolina Office of the State Engineer, who has to give the facility a certificate of occupancy in order for the Chanticleers to allow spectators for the 7 p.
