There is no limit to the number of in-game visits. However, fans must present their free concession voucher or show the voucher icon available through the Coastal Carolina Athletics App. Patrons visiting the designated free concession stands will be able to acquire four items per concession stand visit from a selection of hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and fountain drinks.

CHANT WALK REIMAGINED
The team's grand entrance has been reimagined to allow for more fans to see the Chants up close and personal. The Chant Walk now begins at the Chauncey statue in front of the TD Bank Sports Complex, which will bring more fans to one location to provide more noise and spirit for the Chanticleers as they make their walk into the stadium. This more condensed location is sure provide plenty of excitement for all fans, players and coaches.
