Wake Forest University’s 31,500-seat football stadium now bears a new name.
The Demon Deacons officially unveiled the new moniker “Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium” on Wednesday, June 21.
“Wake Forest University is thrilled to announce a historic, long-term agreement with Allegacy Federal Credit Union, a leading financial institution and a longtime, trusted partner with mutual deep roots in Winston-Salem,” the school wrote in a release. “The new multi-year commitment is the largest corporate partnership in Wake Forest University history, deepening Allegacy’s existing partnership with Wake Forest University by establishing the home of Wake Forest football as Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium.”
The stadium, which opened in 1968 as Groves Stadium, formerly had been known as Truist Field.
Allegacy also will become an official banking partner of Wake Forest Athletics, the exclusive credit union of Wake Forest Athletics, the official wealth management advisors of Wake Forest Athletics and the exclusive banking partner of Wake Forest Football, the release states.
Wake Forest will play six home games at Allegacy Stadium this season, starting with its Thursday night (Aug. 31) opener against Elon. Other home opponents include Georgia Tech, Florida State, NC State, Pittsburgh and Vanderbilt.
