Ted Wright Stadium is a 13,500-seat multi-purpose stadium in Savannah, Georgia, United States. The facility is located on the campus of Savannah State University. The stadium is primarily used for American football and track and field. It is home to the Savannah State Tigers football and track and field teams and occasionally hosts games and events by high schools in Chatham County. The stadium is named in honor of Ted A. Wright, who served as Savannah State's head football coach from 1947 to 1949. The original stadium's construction was part of massive school building project that spanned from 1964 to 1971. The new stadium was built at a cost of $133,665 and John McGlockton, a 1935 graduate was instrumental in securing the lighting at no expense to the college. Prior to the current location of T.A. Wright Stadium, the SSU football team played in several different locations in over 100 years of competitive football. From 1902 to 1940, the Tigers played where the King-Frazier building now stands on the Savannah State campus. From 1940 to the 1969, they played on the grounds that the A.H. Gordon Library sits on today.
