About Benjamin Johnson Arena

Benjamin Johnson Arena, affectionately known as BenJo, is a historic multi-purpose venue in Spartanburg that now serves as a campus recreation and intramural fitness facility. With a capacity of 3,500 in its heyday, the space has evolved into a dynamic fitness center that supports wellness and intramural activities for the campus community. While public spectator events are no longer hosted there, BenJo remains a prominent landmark on Evins Street, offering convenient access for students, staff, and visitors who are exploring Spartanburg's athletic and campus life.

Whether you’re researching the site for a potential rental, a campus visit, or local history, this page covers practical details about parking, transportation, and nearby hotel and dining options to help you plan with ease.

Important notes: BenJo does not publish a current public seating chart since bleachers were removed during renovations to convert the arena into fitness space. For any future on-site gatherings or special events, we’ll provide the latest information and assist with securing access through the appropriate campus channels. When visiting, leverage nearby lodging and dining partners to make your trip convenient and enjoyable.
