Facilities
Coastal's athletic facilities include:
- Brooks Stadium - football stadium located on-campus which seats nearly 10,000. It was designed to be expandable to seat nearly 20,000. The Adkins Fieldhouse is also part of the stadium.
- Charles Watson Stadium/Vrooman Field - Home of the Chanticleer baseball program. The stadium underwent cosmetic renovations in 2005 and an expansion project is planned for the near future.
- HTC Center - Opened in 2012, replacing Kimbel Arena as the home of Coastal's programs in men's and women's basketball and volleyball.
- Quail Creek Golf Course at Coastal Carolina University
- Billy Nichols Tennis Center/Joseph Holliday Courts - Home of the men's and women's tennis programs.
- CCU Soccer Field - Home of the men's and women's soccer programs.
- CCU Softball Field - Home of the Chanticleer softball program.
- Track and Field Facility - Home of the men's and women's track and field programs.
In addition, the Williams-Brice Center, which sits adjacent to Kimbel Arena, offers an indoor pool and various other fitness and recreation options for students.
On April 26, 2011, athletic director Hunter Yurachek said the 127,685-square-foot (11,862.3 m2) Student Recreation and Convocation Center would not be ready for the start of the 2011-12 basketball season. The facility will seat between 3,200 and 3,300 fans and will provide facilities for basketball and volleyball, in addition to the bookstore and over 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of recreation space. A skylight will help reduce energy costs. The "substantial completion" deadline of December 3, 2011 was extended 23 days, but still not met. April 10, 2012 was the new expected date. On August 2, 2012, the university and Horry Telephone Cooperative announced a 20-year naming rights deal. The facility will be called The HTC Center. The grand opening is scheduled for August 20.
In January 2012, the school announced renovation plans for the baseball and softball facilities. These renovations are expected to take place immediately following the 2012 season. The renovations will increase the seating capacity for both stadiums and will provide first class amenities for both the players and the fans.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
