Having been involved in many higher education conference, training and education facilities, I feel that I am an expert. Through my professional and volunteer experiences, my credentials include being very active in the SigEp Fraternity, Student Government Association, and Interfraternity Council at UNC CHARLOTTE, serving as President of the New York Chapter of the Transportation Research Forum, and being a very active member of the American Public Transportation Association, which took me to conferences and meetings at many higher learning institutions including NJIT, the University of Illinois Chicago, the University of South Florida in Tampa, and the Georgia Tech Conference Center in Atlanta. I have also been to many convention centers and hotel and commercial meeting rooms. Without knowing the pricing, but assuming the NC State McKimmon Center is competitive, I have to say that the facilities are nice and seem to be a good bet for any conference, training exercise, or meeting. The facility has a very nice academic feel while still being inviting to industry, students, and people attending seminars, like me. It strikes a good balance between a professional conference environment and a welcoming campus atmosphere.

Rivers freshman year) On this day, actually night, 7pm kick, it was a good night to evaluate this venue. Through the years the University has done an adequate job adding, enclosing, building, and ultimately enhancing the fan experience. It only seats a modest 55k, but there is not a bad seat in the house, and it is raucous. It definitely was on this Saturday night, partially because they debuted a light show that was awesome. Concessions have come a long way too, with the addition of food trucks and alcohol service. One caveat, be prepared to pay with credit, no cash accepted. On a personal note, I attended with one of my BFF's who I had not seen since he attended the Demon Deacons game in November '18. Suffice it to say, this experience was so much better than the aforementioned. (A member of my party at '18 game who was sooo inebriated, insolent, and a total embarrassment. She has been summarily dispatched). Also, we won on Saturday, unlike in '18. If you get a chance to run with the wolves at the Carter check them out.

We arrived 1.5 hours early, and we were very surprised to see hundreds of people already there. We got to our seats and then decided to grab some dinner. We had looked at the website ahead of time for our options. However, some of the options were not easy to find- for example, the hot dog place is actually inside where the seats and arena is, instead of around the concourse with all the other restaurants. The mac'n'cheese place was on the third floor and a bit confusing to find. However, the bratwurst was delicious, the nachos near section 103 were tasty (the chicken is a bit spicy), and the burnt ends mac'n'cheese is a very generous portion and stays warm all the way back to your seat. The entire arena was very clean, including the bathroom. The attendants everywhere were all nice and very helpful. Getting out was actually really easy as well. There are tons of parking attendants ensuring traffic flows well. We were quite impressed at how smooth the entire experience was.

I have had 2 daughters play a couple seasons with Wake FC, before moving on to other clubs. My…read moreoldest played several years ago and had an "ok" experience with the team/coaching/competition, etc. Back then they had no keeper program, except for Friday's where they just had 2 classed every Friday where they divided all the club keepers into 1 of 2 classes. The classes were way too crowded for much if any 1 on 1 coaching. We paid for private lessons as a result. We moved her over to NCFC at U13 where they provide 2 Keeper trainings a week with just 3-4 girls the same age group, so she got much better keeper coaching. Her team coach also played professionally on an international team. Our youngest daughter came out of "retirement" to play for a Wake FC classic U12 team for 2019-2020 season. Even given past experience with Wake we figured we would give them another shot as their practices were more convenient to see if our daughter was going to be committed to competitive soccer this time around after retiring at age 7 after 1 season. Our team coaching was OK, but often completely incorrect techniques taught about keeper position specifically which is not necessary unusual with coaches that played other positions. However this is why other clubs provide classic teams with 2 keeper specific trainings a week. While Wake FC does have a keeper coach now, they also assign him teams to coach so he cannot focus all his energy on keeper coaching, so most kids got left out of any real keeper training. Halfway through the fall season Wake FC brought in another keeper coach to run a couple trainings a week. Those trainings were a complete waste of time as the classes were again too large to provide technique correction so kids just out there practicing bad habits. It was quite painful to watch. We paid extra to attend weekly trainings with the largest club in the area, NCFC where coach to kid ratio was like 3-4 kids per coach, so kids got individual instruction. One of the main disappointments was Wake FC allowed an unqualified parent with no coaching credentials to help coach the team and run practices while the main coach was often not there. I know several parents complained, and nothing happened. So it was not surprising that the team played kick and chase soccer like a rec team and some basic fundamentals of soccer were not taught. I think we won the possession battle maybe twice in the whole season. I think some of the girls that moved to the another club with our daughter got more position/possession coaching in first day of team camp than they did all last season at Wake FC. Which makes sense, as there were two coaches on the field with maybe 12 girls and those coaches had played professionally and coached at NCAA level. I can't speak directly to boys program at Wake FC, but I can say that while the main keeper coach at Wake FC is good, he just can't provide the quality I think you would expect for classic fees as just one guy with teams to coach as well. So I would recommend other clubs in the area if your kid is serious about being a keeper and you don't want to supplement club fees with personal training fees. Team coaching is hit or miss with any club, but a club that would allow an unqualified parent who didn't even play in school much less have a professional career after, is a bit suspect for me on what they might be willing to get away with for quality of coach. There are other clubs in the area where coaches are required to get additional trainings to keep up coaching licenses and also have pretty deep professional playing and coaching experience here in the US as well as in Europe, so kids can learn to play the right way early. Though if you live in Holly Springs area Wake FC is super convenient, and could be a good way to dip the toe into competitive soccer, and allow kids to build relationships with local kids. This is why 2 stars instead of 1. Ting and Womble fields are convenient and good for Holly Springs. The Middle School and High school fields can be rough at times, but that is good practice too.
