The Lowcountry is set to welcome its first college basketball weekend at Credit One Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina, on September 27. The event, organized by Beemok Sports & Entertainment and TheLinkU, will feature a tripleheader that includes a men's showdown between Virginia and Vanderbilt at noon, a rivalry game between the College of Charleston and The Citadel at 3 p.m., and a women's exhibition matchup at 5 p.m.
A Weekend Designed for Fans
Beyond the games, the weekend will offer a suite of fan‑focused activities. Attendees can participate in Chalk Talk sessions, meet players during team appearances, and enjoy a celebratory atmosphere that highlights the growing popularity of college basketball in the region.
Austin Elrod, founder and CEO of TheLinkU, emphasized the ambition behind the event: to create a unique experience that blends high‑level basketball with community engagement. "We wanted to craft a weekend that not only showcases elite play but also celebrates the culture of the sport for fans of all ages," Elrod said.
Bob Moran, president of Beemok Sports & Entertainment, highlighted the broader significance of the invitation. He noted that hosting a high‑profile women's program at Credit One Stadium reinforces Charleston’s reputation as a premier destination for sports events and underscores the stadium’s versatility beyond tennis and concerts.
