CONWAY, S.C. – Beach vibes will meet the lights of Brooks Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 12, as Coastal Carolina football welcomes Fordham for its 2026 home opener, presented by GFL, with a White Out and Beach Bash, free concessions and a spectacular three-part drone show lighting up the sky throughout the game.
Following the successful debut of a drone show at Brooks Stadium last season, Coastal Carolina is expanding the experience in 2026 with three separate shows throughout the night, creating a game-day experience that will bring the beach to the sky above Teal Nation.
The drone show, presented by Sky Elements, will feature a combination of beach-themed visuals and Coastal Carolina imagery, with synchronized drones creating animations and displays above Brooks Stadium.
The first installment will take place between the first and second quarters, followed by a second show during halftime and a final show between the third and fourth quarters.
Fans are encouraged to embrace the beach theme and join Teal Nation for a White Out, creating a sea of white throughout Brooks Stadium as the Chanticleers open the 2026 home schedule.
And the experience doesn't stop with the entertainment.
The CCU Kickoff Meal Deal is back for the 2026 football season, providing complimentary concessions to all ticketed fans at every Coastal Carolina home football game. Fans can enjoy hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and fountain drinks at designated concession stands by presenting their game ticket through the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers App.
The free concessions program will continue through the end of the third quarter, meaning fans can enjoy free stadium favorites throughout the game before the final installment of the drone show takes over the sky between the third and fourth quarters.
With a White Out in the stands, the beach coming to life in the sky, three drone shows throughout the game and free concessions for every ticketed fan, Coastal Carolina's home opener against Fordham promises to be a night unlike any other at Brooks Stadium.
