About the Project – Benefits

Achieving Long-term Football Success
We’ve already enjoyed firsthand some of the benefits from our dedication to the football program. The ACC Championship and recent bowl game victories have given us a taste of success to come, but we still have work to do in achieving our goal of becoming a consistently preeminent football program.

We envision a future where every Wake Forest home game will be played in front of a sold-out crowd of passionate Deacon fans. Such a program will bring vitality and visibility to both the Athletic Department and Wake Forest University. Investing in our football facilities provides long-term return and sends a strong message about Wake Forest Football’s viability and commitment to excellence.

Benefits of a Successful Football Program
Success on the football field will translate into many benefits for the football program, the Athletic Department, the University, and the community at large, most of which will be a direct result of increased attendance and increased media exposure.

Increased media exposure surrounding a successful football program will help to:

• Promote the University and increase the number of qualified applicants
• Promote the local community
• Aid in the recruiting process for all sports by providing evidence that Wake Forest is committed to winning championships

Increased attendance at games will help to:

• Positively impact the local economy
• Increase alumni involvement
• Create a more electric atmosphere for enhanced fan entertainment
• Build a more intimidating home field advantage for our team
