⚾️ Wake Forest Baseball Launches Premium Deacon Deck Seating
New loge-style seating option to add amenities and exclusive perks to David F. Couch Ballpark for the 2025 season.
Wake Forest University Athletics has announced the addition of the Deacon Deck, a premium seating experience at David F. Couch Ballpark set to debut for the 2025 season. The initiative comes as Wake Forest baseball continues to experience record attendance and on-field success, creating an opportunity to expand revenue streams through enhanced game-day offerings.
Key Details
• Strategic Location: Positioned along the right field concourse, the Deacon Deck includes loge-style deck seating with drink rails, providing a blend of comfort and optimal sightlines.
• Hospitality Perks: Deacon Deck ticket holders gain access to all-you-can-eat tailgate-inspired food and non-alcoholic beverages, with in-club delivery service. A private bar will offer beer and wine sales, catering to premium guests.
• Amenities: The deck’s design incorporates lounge-style seating, climate-controlled fans and heaters, high-definition TVs, and exclusive parking access via McCreary Tower lot passes.
• Pricing and Accessibility: Season tickets for the Deacon Deck are priced at $1,400, with sales available through Wake Forest’s ticketing office and online platforms.
The launch of the Deacon Deck is part of Wake Forest’s strategy to capitalize on growing fan interest in its baseball program. The team’s success—an 80-17-1 home record over the past three seasons—has driven increased attendance, including a record-breaking 76,888 total attendees in 2024, representing a 72% growth over the prior year. With eight sellouts last season, the Deacon Deck allows Wake Forest to meet demand while enhancing the overall spectator experience.
This move aligns with broader trends in collegiate athletics, where programs are introducing premium hospitality spaces to cater to affluent fans and corporate clients. These initiatives not only create additional revenue opportunities but also strengthen loyalty among high-value ticket holders.
The Deacon Deck joins other premium additions across the collegiate sports landscape as schools compete to offer amenities that rival those found in professional venues.
