CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Citadel Athletics announced the creation of the Blue Zone presented by Bud Light on Thursday morning, introducing a new premium field-level seating experience located in the south end zone of Johnson Hagood Stadium. In partnership with Revel XP, the eight on-field suites will be available for the upcoming 2026 campaign.
 
Positioned just beyond the end line and mere feet from the action, the exclusive seating area offers a unique gameday perspective unlike any other in the Southern Conference. Combining premium hospitality amenities with unparalleled proximity to the field, the new experience places fans in the heart of the sights, sounds and energy of Johnson Hagood Stadium while providing one of the most distinctive viewing opportunities in collegiate athletics.

"We are excited to offer this exclusive opportunity for our fans to experience Citadel Football in an unprecedented capacity," said The Citadel Director of Athletics Art Chase. "Our long-standing, tremendous relationship with Southern Crown Distributors — which has provided us an exceptional sponsor brand in Bud Light — and new partnership with Revel XP have allowed us to enter the world of on-field premium seating at Johnson Hagood Stadium. We are confident members of the Blue Zone will enjoy this unique view of the game from the south end zone, along with the provided amenities."
 

"As the Official Beer Sponsor of The Citadel Athletics, Bud Light is proud to help create unforgettable game day experiences for Bulldogs fans all season long," said Tom Fitzgerald, VP of Marketing at Southern Crown Partners. "Whether cheering from the new Blue Zone or throughout Johnson Hagood Stadium, fans are encouraged to enjoy Bud Light responsibly, celebrate safely, and always plan a safe ride home."
