That just depends on the amount of the bids a who has the larger stadium...I know that Oliver C. Dawson holds 22,000, how many does Wofford's stadium holds?

I've always had a soft spot for SC State since my days living in the Palmetto State. Good luck Bulldogs!

Gibbs Stadium capacity is approximately 13000 fans including the seating on two grass berms.

SC State is averaging 13605 in home attendance this year.
Wofford is averaging 7443 in home attendance this year.

Whoever makes the best bid will host games if they are not seeds.

Well if thats the case, you will have a (almost?) guaranteed sell-out for that game. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

And travel-wise they are relatively close to one another. And it would make more sense to have two close teams face each other than send one of those two 200 miles one way and another team 500 miles another.

Make it happen NCAA xnodx

[Fear The Beard]

I am thinking SC State may get rewarded with a trip to James Madison or Appalachian State. Lots of teams in Virginia and the Carolina and it is going to be interesting how the NCAA matches them up. Got App State, Wofford, SC State, Richmond, JMU, Elon......curious to see how it works out!
