Wofford Basketball Debuts Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium

NFL Panthers Owner Jerry Richardson was at Wofford Univ. on Friday for the opening of Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium, as the basketball arena debuted before a "sold-out crowd." The ivory facade arena was "paid for by donations from Richardson, along with his wife, Rosalind." ESPN's Wendy Nix, a Wofford alum who sits on the school's BOT, would "rank the sparkling new 3,400-seat, spacious venue in Spartanburg right up there with any she has attended." Nix: “To have a facility like this at a campus this size, it’s unprecedented. It’s so exciting. In all fairness, you can have bigger and you have grander, but I don’t think you can have better anywhere in the country" (GOUPSTATE.com, 11/10).
