My wife, parents, and I had a great time at the Wake Forest vs. Georgia Tech football game on…read moreSeptember 23, 2023 at Allegacy Stadium. It was a lot of fun. If you're looking for something fun to do on a fall Saturday in Winston-Salem, go to a Wake football game at Allegacy Stadium. They put on a great gameday experience. The official name of this stadium is a mouthful: Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium. The name change became official on June 21, 2023: https://bit.ly/3RFO0Fk. It reminds me of the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl (2017-2022): https://bit.ly/3LEekvI. In recent years, this stadium was named Truist Field at Wake Forest (2020-2023) and BB&T Field (2007-2020). Allegacy took over the naming rights from Truist in 2023. At the time of writing this review, I found two other listings related to this stadium on Yelp: 1. Bridger Field House at BB&T Field https://bit.ly/3LAsMon 2. Truist Field https://bit.ly/3LAsHkz I tried to clean them up and consolidate everything into a single listing by submitting business edits to Yelp, but the moderator(s) left the listings as-is. Oh well. Yelp's mods and accurate business listing info have always been some of the company's biggest weaknesses, but I digress. I attended my first football game, on any level, at this stadium. Back then, Allegacy Stadium was known by its original name, Groves Stadium. It opened in 1968 and was known as Groves Stadium until BB&T got the naming rights in 2007. Wake played Clemson. I can't remember if it was the October 27, 1990 game, when No. 19 Clemson won 24-6 (attendance 25,317), or the October 31, 1992 game, when Wake won, 18-15 (attendance 21,839). I do remember my dad driving us to the game in our family's old Dodge Ram van, my friend from elementary school that we took with us (he later went on to play basketball for Virginia Tech), and sitting/standing behind the Clemson bench. Another one of our friends, from High Point, joined us and heckled one of the Clemson players. Fast-forward 30-plus years and it was me driving my dad to the game. My parents met at Wake in the 70s. I grew up a diehard Demon Deacons fan. However, I ended up going to Georgia Tech and switched allegiances. So, this most-recent gridiron matchup between Wake and Tech was a matchup between our alma maters. It's been a fun family rivalry. I still support Wake and they're my No. 2 team behind Tech. And I love the ACC in general. It had been many years since I visited this stadium. It looked good. The game was a sellout with an announced attendance of 32,528. The listed capacity of the stadium is 31,500, making it the smallest of the 18 football stadiums in the conference as of 2024 (including future members Cal, Stanford, and SMU). SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium is second-smallest at 32,000 and Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium is third-smallest at 40,004. I think Allegacy Stadium's size is appropriate for Wake Forest based on the school's enrollment, alumni base, and fanbase. As of 2023, Wake has the seventh-smallest enrollment among 133 FBS schools and *the* smallest among Power-Five-conference schools. This was my first time seeing in-person McCreary Tower (completed in August 2008) above Gate 1, the Deacon Statue in McCreary Plaza (dedicated in October 2008), and the southeast end zone video board (completed in October 2011). While these things are now 12-15 years old, they still look good today. I remember Deacon Hill (grass hill / berm seating) behind the southeast end zone and the Bridger Field House behind the northwest end zone. I still think it's bizarre how the Demon Deacon rides out on a motorcycle. What's the story behind that? I think that's been a relatively-new (21st century) tradition for Wake. I think the Ramblin' Reck is way cooler. ;) But seriously, overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere, from the team intros to the eclectic music - everything from Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics to Welcome to the Party by Diplo, French Montana, and Lil Pump - to the timeout, in-stadium, and video board entertainment. I liked the video board graphics and animations (e.g., the Winston-Salem skyline bouncing up and down) and the stadium and phone light "shows." We sat in Section 12, Row S (visitors section) and had a great view of the action. There was a congenial vibe among all the fans. Everyone seemed to get along and be having a good time. Football games are a great place to bring the whole family. Park across the street at the LJVM Coliseum. It's easy and convenient. For us, it cost $30, cash or credit. We used Waze to navigate to the coliseum's Deacon Blvd entrance, from the east (left turn into the entrance), and we didn't run into any traffic that way. Any entrance should be fine. We arrived about 30 minutes before kickoff and the lots around the coliseum were already pretty full. There was a lot of tailgating going on. A tunnel goes under Deacon Blvd so you don't have to worry about crossing the street.

This was such a fun stadium! We watched Wake Forest play Cal. Lots of fun energy at the game!…read morePlenty of food and drink options. Parking was also really easy.

Went to an almost rained out Dash game as my first experience. Unfortunately this meant they didn't…read moreseem to have their full concessions open and turnout was a little low since I think they proceeded with the game at the last minute. However they did a really good job keeping the crowd going and keeping spirits high even with a small turnout on a rainy cloudy somewhat chilly day. The stadium has pretty up to date and good quality facilities and is very roomy. I went on a Thursday which is a "Pups Run the Bases" night, though I didn't bring my dog because it was my first time there and wasn't sure how busy/chaotic it would be. Turns out it is a very roomy stadium with lots of open grassy corners to stretch out and walk a dog. Even if it was packed it wouldn't have been too difficult to navigate. They also have a nice bar/restaurant area, a children's play area and for some reason a large chicken coop. Which makes be wonder both "why?" and also "why not?" at the same time. They also had a bat-retrieving dog that wore Doggles during the game which is pretty much one of the top ten coolest things I've ever seen. It's a nice stadium with good facilities and lots of fun amenities no matter the event. Would recommend

It's a nice spot to visit anything of year. The seating is comfortable. The staff are…read moreaccommodating. The food is priced for an events stadium which is expected but it's pretty good.
