Joseph P Riley, Jr Park

Charleston


Home of the RiverDogs minor-league baseball team and the Citadel team. The stadium is a namesake of a longtime former Charleston mayor who regularly attends games, but it is more often referred to as 'the Joe.' On ladies night anyone wearing a skirt gets in free. Bill Murray is a part-owner of the RiverDogs.
