G. B. Hodge Center is a 1,535-seat multi-purpose arena in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It is home to the University of South Carolina Upstate Spartans basketball team.
In October 2009, it was announced that the G.B. Hodge Center will undergo a large renovation thanks to the $4 million donation from alumnus Dolores Anderson. Anderson is a long time fan of the University of South Carolina Upstate basketball team, particularly the men's team. She is the former co owner of Anderson Hardwood Company. This gift is the largest donation to the university athletic department and second largest ever to the university. Plans for the new arena include brand new floors, lighting, scoreboards, locker rooms, and seating. The university believes that the new renovation will help move into a second renovation later that would create a new entrance and new athletic department offices.
