Coastal Carolina home games at Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina, have allowed 5,000 attendees at each game this season. That 5,000 number includes teams, coaching staffs, gameday staff, gameday operations, working media, band, spirit teams, volunteers, and spectators.

So if you’re looking to find a ticket to the first-ever football meeting between the Cougars and Chanticleers, it’s going to be a tough ticket to find. Coastal Carolina’s ticket office doesn’t list any tickets available for purchase.
