Benjamin Johnson Arena Farewell Season

Celebration Terrier memories of basketball and volleyball since 1981

Wofford Sports Marketing

This season, 2016-17, marks the final season for intercollegiate athletic competition inside the Benjamin Johnson Arena.  The "BenJo" has been home to Terrier volleyball and men's and women's basketball since January 22, 1981.  The programs will move into their new home, Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium, in the fall of 2017.  Throughout the season, we will commemorate the season with special events, promotions, reunions and giveaways.  Each game will features a "countdown moment" with honorees representing former players, coaches, donors and friends of the Terriers.  Fans will be encouraged to share their favorite moment or game inside the BenJo by sharing those stories on social media.  Tag #BenJoFarewell and #MyBenJoMoment for the opportunity to be selected to win a unique commemorative gift during the year!
