Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Sept. 7 mystery had lots of tiny clues – the football players in the stadium. As it happens, some sleuths guessed the teams – Wofford College and S.C. State University in a 2006 game – and not the stadium, which is what we expected folks to identify. No matter. We gave credit to all who came up with the teams or Gibbs Stadium, which is Wofford’s in Spartanburg.
Hats off to George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Gwen Strickland of Latta; Addison Ingle of Charleston; Don Clark of Hartsville; Barry Wingard of Florence; Sundra Proctor Smith of Little Africa, S.C.; and Greg W. Anderson of Edgefield.
Anderson noted: “It was built when Wofford joined Division 1 of the NCAA in the mid-1990s. Prior to this stadium, Wofford played in a very old stadium. Several years after this stadium was built, they added a huge scoreboard. It is a very nice stadium and promotes a family atmosphere with the many tailgating spots in and around the stadium. I think maximum capacity is around 10,000-15,000 if you include the general admission seating areas on the grass in the end zones. It is a source of pride for the Wofford alumni.”
