CSU Ballpark is a baseball venue located in North Charleston, South Carolina, United States. It is home to the Charleston Southern Buccaneers college baseball team of the Division I Big South Conference.[1] It has a capacity of 1,000 spectators.[2]

Recent renovations of the facility have improved the backstop, dugouts, and fencing. Also, new bleacher seating has increased capacity, and limited chairback seating has been added for season ticket holders.[1] During the 2013 season, stadium lighting was installed at the facility.[3] The project was estimated to cost $350,000, with the city of North Charleston making a sizeable contribution in return for access to the facility for events. The first night game at the facility was scheduled for April 19, 2013, against Big South rival Presbyterian.[4]
