I was in Winston Salem this weekend for Easter, and anytime that I am there I love to stop by Groves Stadium to see the progress on Wake Forest’s Deacon Tower.  Check out what I saw on Saturday:

The front of Deacon Tower underconstruction.  This is the side people will see when the come into the parking lot/stadium and the view from Deacon Blvd.

This is the view from inside of the stadium.  They are starting to tear out the bleachers in the middle section to put up black folding seats.

Can you believe the progress?  It looked smaller than NC State’s Vaughn Towers which were finished before the 2005 season, to me.  But it seems like Vaughn Towers doesn’t have any of their operations below the stands, and Deacon Towers starts down below.  It is set to be ready for the home opener this season on Sept 6 vs. Mississippi.  And the final product should be more like this:

For more pics of what it is supposed to look like check out the master plan.
