Coastal Carolina Saturday game postpones kick-off time, anticipating Tropical Storm Ian

Coastal Carolina football fans can rest easy — Saturday’s home game against the Georgia Southern Eagles will still happen but will be a bit later than expected.

The university announced Thursday that the universities and the Sun Belt Conference have agreed to postpone Saturday’s kick-off time until 7 p.m.

The reason for postponing the kick-off time was “in the interest of caution and safety regarding team travel,” the press release stated.

Tropical Storm Ian is expected to begin battering South Carolina coasts late Friday and early Saturday as a category 1 hurricane, according to the latest weather updates from the National Weather Service.

All reserved and single-game tickets for the game on Saturday are currently sold out, as well as reserved game day parking.

The game will still be broadcast live on ESPN+ and on the radio at WRRN Hot Talk 99.5 FM.

Fans coming out to the game should know that umbrellas are not allowed in the stadium.
