Wake Forest Football Gameday Update: Parking Details for 2025 Season
1/27/2025 9:23:00 AM | Football
With commencement of roadway changes and construction due to The Grounds mixed-use development, Wake Forest Athletics has updated parking maps and protocols for the 2025 season.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – As announced in the fall of 2024, Wake Forest University is thrilled to partner with the City of Winston-Salem and Carter and Front Street Capital on The Grounds, an innovative mixed-use development designed to transform the community. Following official groundbreaking in December, an upcoming phase of the project will include route-update for Deacon Blvd. and other parking lot changes for the 2025 football season.
Fans are encouraged to review the updated parking information and understand how these adjustments will impact the 2025 parking process – specifically for ticket holders with season parking passes.
The road changes to Deacon Blvd. will begin on March 26 and be completed by mid-August.
What's Changing?
With the engagement and approval of the Deacon Club Board of Directors, we are implementing this new plan to eliminate Orange Lot C and Blue Lot D. This will result in 1,037 gameday parking spaces that will be reallocated to other available Wake Forest Athletics lots.
With the realignment of Deacon Blvd., a new parking lot will be created adjacent to LJVM Coliseum, labeled as "The Grounds Lot" on the map below. This lot will add at least 500 new spaces for parking on Wake Forest gamedays.

Gameday Impact
Patrons who have previously parked in the McCreary Tower, Gold, Red, and Couch Ballpark lots are able to renew their current lots from their renewal applications at this time. Both parking costs and Deacon Club commitments are due by the renewal deadline on March 31, 2025.
Fans with season parking in the Orange and Blue lots at Allegacy Stadium and the lots adjacent to LJVM Coliseum will be the main parties affected by the aforementioned parking changes. Patrons in these lots are able to request a space in their current lot from their renewal application by adding on the $150 parking pass item. However, while paying the $150 parking cost will guarantee you receive a parking pass for the 2025 football season, it is not guaranteed that you will receive the lot you requested. Please contact the Wake Forest Ticket Office via email at tix@wfu.edu or by calling (336) 758-3322 for any specific requests.
With that, parking locations in these specific lots will be assigned following the conclusion of the renewal deadline on March 31, 2025 based on Deacon Club giving level and priority rank within each giving level. To be assigned a parking pass, your season tickets, season parking pass, and required Deacon Club donations must be settled via payment, payment plan, and/or pledge by the March 31, 2025 deadline.
Annual Seat Rights
In addition to maintaining the correct Deacon Club Membership level, the best way to guarantee your requested lot and not be affected by any parking changes is to sign up for the Annual Seat Rights Program. Annual seat rights can be added directly to your renewal application under "Additional Items > Lock In Your Same Seats with a Seat Rights Upgrade."
Remember, the Annual Seat Rights gives fans the ability to lock in their same seats on an annual basis through an additional per-seat fee. This peace-of-mind initiative enables season ticket holders to keep their same preferred seat location adjacent to Deacon friends and family on an annual basis. Additionally for ease of purchase, payment plans or up-front purchases are available for all who opt-in to the seat rights program. Seat rights participants have the ability to lock in their selected seats for a one-year renewable term, or a five-year option that includes a 20 percent discount on the per-seat fee. To participate in the program, an annual seat rights payment is added on to the season ticket cost, which allows for the same seat renewals each year. New in the process of renewing season tickets this year, you can add on annual seat rights to your seat renewal renewal application.
