WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - When Wake Forest opens the 2015 football season at BB&T Field on Thursday, Sept. 3 against Elon, a new premium student seating section will also make its debut.
Following the 2014 football season, the Wake Forest Athletic Department conducted extensive research through various student groups to determine ways to enhance the student experience at BB&T Field. Much of the feedback included the desire for student social space, or premium seating space.
As a result of the feedback, Wake Forest has added the four premium seating areas on the East side of BB&T Field. To be known as The Deck, the four platforms can each accommodate 40 or more students. The decks are 24 feet by 15 feet and include drink rails. The decks are carpeted for student comfort and private catering is available. Each Deck can be reserved for student groups by calling the Sports Marketing Department at (336) 758-5010.
Wake Forest's survey results also showed a desire by students for more and enhanced concessions points of purchase. In response, the Athletic Department will bring in a number of food trucks from throughout the Triad to provide additional food offerings. The food trucks will be located on the East side concourse and the trucks will vary from game to game.
"Our research showed that Wake Forest students were pretty specific in ways in which we could enhance their experience at BB&T Field," said Associate Athletic Director Bill Oakes. "We appreciate their feedback and we are trying to be responsive to their needs. We will continue to listen and we expect that the 2015 season will yield even more opportunities to serve our student body."
