onto I-85 South towards Durham, N.C., and Atlanta. Continue on I-85
South into North Carolina, and feel free to make obscene gestures to
the welcome signs as you cross state lines (provided your passengers
are of appropriate age). Stay on I-85 South and then merge onto I-40

Previous Trips to Wake Forest
Team A-Game traveled to Wake in 2001 and 2009. We parked for free on
both cases in the lots surrounding Lawrence Joel Coliseum. Not
too
much of a home lot advantage for the Deacs, although in 2009 we partied
with a great couple families of WF football players. Some of the best
home-team fans we've ever hung out with, and some of their barbecue was
outstanding. Also in 2009, we found a few neat bars downtown for Friday
evening festivities. The biggest dagger about Winston-Salem
is that it is a good hour or so west of the general
Dook-UNC-N.C.
State
area, but it is still well within driving distance from College Park.
Despite the smallish stadium (recently renovated and looks very nice),
it's worth the trip. —PK
