Multiple Safety Enhancements Added at David F. Couch Ballpark
To make it easier for all fans to get to their seats handrails have been installed in all stadium aisles at The Couch. Prior to the start of the North Carolina series, the protective netting was extended out to cover all fans in general admission seating from potential balls leaving the playing field. Additional security cameras will be added to ensure the safety of fans attending games this season. For a full list of upgrades to The Couch, click here.
 
Dominant at The Couch 
.Deacon Nation showed tremendous support at David F. Couch Ballpark in 2023 as last year's season attendance of 57,814 fans set a new program record. Fans kept the momentum rolling, setting a new season ticket record for the 2024 season that more than quadrupled the 2023 season ticket number. After a season record-setting attendance during the 2023 season, Deacon Nation set the tone in the season opener against Fordham, setting a new regular-season record with 3,514 Wake Forest fans coming out to support the Deacs. It shattered the previous record of 3,023 in last year's game against Virginia Tech. Deacon Nation has continued to show up in waves. Wake Forest recorded a sellout in all three games of a weekend set in the top 15 matchup against North Carolina. Over the course of the three-games, a program record 10,542 fans helped set a new all-time weekend attendance record. With a clear home-field advantage, Wake has gone 70-16-1 since 2022 at The Couch, including a stellar 29-3 mark on their way to a program-record 54 wins in 2023 and 15-6 to start 2024.
 
Strike Early. Strike Often.
One of the keys to the Deacs' success last season was scoring first, as Wake Forest went 40-5 in games where they got on the board first. Under Tom Walter, Wake Forest is 287-113-1 when scoring first, including 14-5 to start the 2024 season.

Outgun the Opposition
Since Corey Muscara joined the Demon Deacons in 2022, Wake Forest starting pitchers have outlasted their counterparts in 122 of 158 games. During that time frame the Deacs are 101-20-1 going 49-7 in 2023, 32-10-1 in 2022 and 20-3 to start the 2024 campaign. On the flip side, Wake Forest is 15-21 in the 36 games that opposing pitchers have had a longer outing.

2024 Wake Forest Baseball Tickets
Non-conference tickets start at $5 and ACC tickets start at $10.

New for the 2024 baseball season, Wake Forest University faculty and staff members will be required to claim complimentary general admission single game tickets for themselves and their immediate families at the David F. Couch Ballpark ticket office on the day of the game beginning 90 minutes prior to first pitch. Staff members may only claim up to four (4) complimentary tickets.
