About the Project – Overview
Renovating BB&T Field
The renovation of BB&T Field marks the beginning of a new era for Wake Forest football, but this exciting project requires a significant financial investment.
We have secured funding for the first three phases of the project and have already seen the positive impact your support has made on the success of the football program. The final three phases of the project require additional funding and include upgrades that will benefit every person enjoying a game at BB&T Field.
In order to continue raising funds for our football stadium renovation, we are introducing the Football Seat Rights Program for the 2008 season. Participants in the Football Seat Rights Program will have the opportunity to make a donation that will secure the location of their 2007 seats for an extended period of time. The Football Seat Rights Program will help us realize our fundraising goals as quickly as possible.
