DEACTOWN Fan Zone presented by Forsyth County Farm Bureau Insurance
Festivities begin each home game at the new and expanded DEACTOWN Fan Zone presented by Forsyth County Farm Bureau Insurance on the lawn outside McCreary Tower. This is a great destination for all fans with premium tailgating options, live music, video screens, local drink selections, fun and a variety of food trucks and vendor options.
Activities in this space adjacent to the Deacon Statue will provide experiences for fans of all ages, from inflatables and kids games to a new beer garden space featuring the Lowes Foods Beer Den. Enjoy the new space while watching games from across the country on a new 20ft video wall within the Lowes Foods Beer Den. The DEACTOWN Fan Zone will also feature giveaways, balloon artists and face painting. Officially licensed Wake Forest merchandise from a variety of best-in-class brands will be available for purchase.
The DEACTOWN Fan Zone will open three hours prior to the game and close 30 minutes before kickoff as fans make their way inside Truist Field to see the Deacons take play!
