[4] The 1989 season was affected by
Hurricane Hugo, which damaged
Johnson Hagood Stadium as the eye of the storm passed over Charleston harbor before making its way inland. As a result, The Citadel played two "home" games at
Williams–Brice Stadium, on the campus of the
University of South Carolina in
Columbia, South Carolina. The hurricane struck on September 22, 1989, and the Bulldogs did not play a game again in their home stadium until November 4, 1989.
