Wonderful evening at the Battery! It is a wonderful venue with numerous food trucks and vendors for food. As someone with dietary restrictions, I was pleasantly surprised to see I could eat! The environment is lovely and it's always a great time coming out to the games! read more

Great team! But...absolutely most CRAMPED seats in any stadium I have been in. I'm a 6ft 200 lb guy and my knees stay crammed into the seat in front of me. Like sitting in a grade school desk. What an incredible step backwards from the old Blackbaud Stadium! We used to have season tickets, but now we only go 0-1 time a season. For this reason only. read more

I had never been to a Battery game and it was so much fun. We arrived right at start time and took a lap to check it out. They have a few bar areas and lots of local eats like Coop burgers (and their frose) and we ended up getting a pizza from Coastal Crust. It took a while but we ordered and came back in 30 mins so it was no prob. We hung out for a while on the side of the field and then went to go find our seats. All the staff were sure helpful and nice except one lady checking everyone's tickets to get to the seats. She was saying that everyone from the other section tries to sit in the main section and so she was checking every ticket to get to seats. It caused a huge bottleneck and people were missing the game because she wouldn't let people in as they were relocating their ticket on their phone or something. Another lady took over and did t seem to care and everything went a lot smoother. And guess what, there was no shortage of seats in that section! The Battery got smoked by Miami but we had a fun time. Pro tip: if you are in the far side of the stadium when the game ends, you get stuck cause they block the walkway to let the players exit. We were over there for 15-20 mins waiting to leave. It was cool that the players stopped to talk to the kids and fans. Maybe make an announcement in the general area that you're about to be trapped. read more

Charleston Battery - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

While this is a minor league soccer team, it is one of the oldest such teams in the country and given that there are no major league professional sports in South Carolina, the team is a relatively prominent feature of Charleston's culture, with a team store downtown. The stadium they're currently operating out of is a beautiful area just across the bridge from downtown which is primarily a college stadium. For a minor league team, it was an awfully expensive ticket, with prices going up at the last minute, which is a new trend that I'm not in favor of. They required a security screening and had significant bag limitations, protecting all of us from the threat of terrorist attacks on minor league soccer games. People just parked in the grass on the side of the nearby road a mile in either direction; the alternative was also given to park (and be gouged for it) at the military museum nearby. The game was a good experience for what it was; Lionel Messi is not showing up anytime soon but it was a fun time despite a surprisingly languid home crowd. There was a pretty wide selection of food trucks and some games set up around the periphery for a brief halftime. I'm not sure there's a better sports team to go watch in Charleston, but it also seems like they could make significant changes to make it a better fan experience. read more

Charleston Battery is a great venue for Charleston's pro soccer team! I've been here twice and enjoyed it. Atmosphere is family-friendly and they have a good range of food and drink options. Good views from the bleachers. Great matches with a supportive fan base. This is soccer as it was intended! read more

We got ticket in the $7 tickets night for the bleachers seat. It was such a spectacular view of the field and bridge during sunset. We loved it . It was also $2 bud light night so yay! So to park the do let you know which parking space and how much it is and where to park. We choose to park in the purple lot for $5 with the view of the Yorktown. We loved it . It was about a 3-min walk from the stadium . We reach about 7pm the game starts 7.30pm. We got ourselves some Home Team barbecue wings and drink and went to sit down. They were about 3/4 more other vendors there, Chick Fil A, Coup Burger, Coastal Crust and Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Popcorn and peanuts are available but no funnel cakes. We got some pizza from Coastal Crust it was yummy ! Game was really exciting t was 2-0 less than 3 mins into the game . Total of 7 goals were scored that night for this game . Game ended we were trying to get out when the guard told us we can use this exit until the players were all off the field. We waited for at least 10-15 mins and everyone started getting a little frustrated because the exit is right there block with two cones and a man. And they were so many people and players still on the field warming down. At last some one burst of and the guard man handled that man. Everyone else just walk out the exit disregarding that man. It was suppose to be a 5 star but the exit chaos really got out of hand for me read more

Charleston Battery - Beautiful sunset over the soccer field. - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

If your a tourist, walking the battery should be on your list if not only from a historical perspective -- but also from a Home & Garden meets Southern Architectural Digest optic. Meaning, the civil war historical perspective is tremendous. Cannons were once ready for an unsuccessful civil war shoreline costal defense as this landmark seawall couldn't prevent the Union from wiping it out, hence the rebuild of Rainbow Row. Speaking of which, try not to forget to look upon the other side of the street to appreciate some of the prettiest homes along the above said Rainbow Road stretch of antebellum homes that run south, forward of the artillery positions. A spacious view of the meeting point where the Ashley and the Cooper River reach each others water, the sidewalk is home to joggers, little kids running amuck, bike riders, dog walkers and other onlookers -- so exercise a bit of caution of your surroundings. Walk it from end to end, take in the sun's healthy rays, breath in the brackish sea water -- best done when the wind is up a bit.. read more

We went to a game last night and it was a lot of fun. Tickets are either $10 or $18 (bleacher seating vs. plastic bucket type seat). The soccer was good, but in my opinion, not exceptional. It's a fun night out. Plenty of vendors selling beer, soft drinks and food - typical sporting event prices. read more

Not a bad seat in the stadium! I grew up playing soccer and had a great time watching the local team play! The Battery is also pretty good within their division and play better at home. Tickets are not expensive either at about $10 each. Parking will be $5 cash. Getting an official jersey will be more than you expect though... The food and drink options are pretty standard and not as fun as the River Dogs, so you might want to check out a restaurant on Danial Island beforehand. Also, if there is another event like a concert, be prepared for some traffic, but it's only really bad when events are double-booked on Danial Island. Side-note: Ties are the end of the game, unless it's playoffs! Black & Yellow, BLACK AND YELLOW! read more

What a GREAT time! The stadium is beautiful! We sat right at mid-field. Every seat is good, the action non-stop, and there is even an area for kids to play in a jump castle. The player came up to the stands and shook hands with the fans! There were fireworks after and it put an amazing touch on this great night!! read more

Daniel Island is a great place for sporting events (who would've thunk it?)! It has the Family Circle Cup for tennis and Charleston Battery for soccer! I love having the option of these places nearby for a fun night out with friends, a date or family. The Battery is a definitely a family friendly place, good option of sports foods (you know, typical junk fare), decent prices...overall good fun! read more

This was a pretty standard soccer stadium. There weren't very many food options, but what they did have was okay. Tickets are reasonably priced and gives you something to do to support your city's team. read more

Charleston's pro soccer team and a damn good team too! They play a couple leagues down from MLS, but they regularly beat the MLS teams, plus they play teams from the Premier League on occasion. Tickets are around $10, which is ok, bout the same you'd pay for a movie, but live action. You can't match the atmosphere when the MLS teams come, especially Chivas USA or Houston Dynamo. Crowd can get rowdy, but it's all in good fun. read more
