The South Financial Group of Greenville, South Carolina, purchased the naming rights to the new facility and it opened in 2008 under the Carolina First Arena name. After the 2010 sale of the corporation to Toronto Dominion Bank, the arena's name changed to TD Arena. The playing surface is named John Kresse Court in honor of legendary Charleston men's basketball coach John Kresse. Originally to be named Carolina First Center, the facility was renamed Carolina First Arena to avoid confusion with the bank's south coast main offices in Charleston which are located in an office building by the same name. The first game played at the arena on November 14, 2008 was a first round game of the inaugural ESPN Charleston Classic between Texas Christian University and Western Michigan University won by TCU 67-63. Perhaps the biggest game in arena history was a 82-79 Charleston victory in overtime over then-No. 9 ranked and defending champion North Carolina on January 5, 2010. The arena not only plays host to Cougars' basketball games, but it also hosts many other campus events, including orientations and campus tours. Also, several high school volleyball games have been held there. ==See also== *TD Garden (Boston, Massachusetts) *TD Bank Ballpark (Bridgewater, New Jersey) *TD Ameritrade Park Omaha (Nebraska) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TD Arena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
