Opened in 1997, Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park is a Charleston landmark. It’s not just a stadium. It’s a story. Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, affectionately nicknamed “The Joe,” replaced the old College Park. This wasn’t just a simple demolition and rebuild. It involved a land swap with The Citadel. The city got the land for Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. The Citadel received College Park and lifetime playing rights at The Joe, complete with their own clubhouse. The park is named after Charleston’s longest-serving mayor, Joseph P. Riley Jr., a key figure in its creation. The Joe isn’t just home to the Charleston RiverDogs. It also hosts The Citadel Bulldogs baseball team. The park has seen its share of historic games, including a Clemson-South Carolina matchup in 2012. South Carolina won 3-2 in 11 innings. A few years later, The Citadel triumphed over South Carolina 10-8. This victory set a new attendance record for college baseball in Charleston, with a crowd of 6,500 roaring fans. The stadium itself is a marvel. It boasts a capacity of 6,000 and a Bermuda grass field. Imagine the crack of the bat as a ball soars towards the 398-foot center field wall. Or the cheers erupting as a runner slides into home. The Joe offers an intimate baseball experience, with the Ashley River shimmering in the distance. This view adds a touch of Charleston charm to every game.
