As the game day went on, the lot became full and they opened up a 2nd lot on a dirt/ gravel road. For our afternoon game, we were lucky to score another spot in the main lot near the entrance. Parking is a Game of Luck. The venue was kept clean and orderly. Staff was very kind upon arrival. This venue is not appropriate for large tournaments due to the lack of seating and parking. Otherwise, I don't have complaints. I brought my stadium seat for extra comfort and made the best I could out of the experience. For those traveling far, Bojangles is nearby and easy to get to for Breakfast or lunch. If not, they have a Concession stand called "Ben's Boys" who serve plenty of options, even Smoothies. The only thing missing that would be helpful is a Parent's Lounge with a charging station and comfortable seating in the area not being used for the other sports courts. This would be a classy touch. We travel far, spend a lot of money, and deserve to recharge.

As a graduate of High Point Central High School, I made many visits to the High Point Athletic…read moreComplex as a student and fan of the HPC Black Bison football and soccer teams. Both of my older sisters also went to HPC. One of them was a cheerleader and got injured in a fall during a routine at Simeon Stadium here. I remember my parents and I were eating dinner at the buffet at Quincy's on Westchester Drive when it happened. The High Point Athletic Complex consists of the Ed Price Baseball Field (500-650 seats), eight soccer fields (the biggest one with 600 seats), a track and football field (1,500 seats), a multipurpose practice field, and A.J. Simeon Stadium (10,000-15,000 seats). The latter is home to both the Central and crosstown rival T. Wingate Andrews football teams. The City owns and operates the entire complex, except Simeon Stadium, through its Parks & Rec department. Guilford County Schools owns and operates Simeon Stadium so the football stadium is technically not city property. We made headlines my freshman year at Central because the kicker on our football team was female: Snow Brenner. She went on to play soccer for Duke and is now an orthopedic surgeon. Her younger brother, Wich, was my year (class of 2000) and he was the kicker our senior year when we won the North Carolina 2-A state championship. Central went 15-0 that year (1999). Wich went on to kick for Texas Tech. The year prior to winning the state championship, I recall the disappointing playoff loss we suffered at home to eventual champion Shelby. The year we graduated, the team we beat to win the state championship, Southwest Onslow, won the title. During that time, the PA announcer at Simeon Stadium was Larry Craven. I recognized his voice because he was the news director at 1230 AM WMFR (High Point). Simeon Stadium on Friday nights in the fall was the place to be for high school football. I took one of my cousins from California, who was visiting colleges on the East Coast at the time, to a football game here and she loved it. Parents liked to get tipsy in the parking lot/field too. I'm glad I got to experience it and I still like to tell people how my high school won the state championship in football my senior year. As for HPC soccer games, my friends and I had too much fun, especially with the opposing teams; Lexington City Schools being among them. Shenanigans were had and I'll leave it at that. :) Note: Depending on where you look, the seating capacity numbers for the complex's facilities can vary which is why I have some ranges listed above.

There were several places to get drinks from as well but we did not get around to trying.

However they did a really good job keeping the crowd going and keeping spirits high even with a small turnout on a rainy cloudy somewhat chilly day. The stadium has pretty up to date and good quality facilities and is very roomy. I went on a Thursday which is a "Pups Run the Bases" night, though I didn't bring my dog because it was my first time there and wasn't sure how busy/chaotic it would be. Turns out it is a very roomy stadium with lots of open grassy corners to stretch out and walk a dog. Even if it was packed it wouldn't have been too difficult to navigate. They also have a nice bar/restaurant area, a children's play area and for some reason a large chicken coop. Which makes be wonder both "why?" and also "why not?" at the same time. They also had a bat-retrieving dog that wore Doggles during the game which is pretty much one of the top ten coolest things I've ever seen. It's a nice stadium with good facilities and lots of fun amenities no matter the event. Would recommend

If you're looking for something fun to do on a fall Saturday in Winston-Salem, go to a Wake football game at Allegacy Stadium. They put on a great gameday experience. The official name of this stadium is a mouthful: Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium. The name change became official on June 21, 2023: https://bit.ly/3RFO0Fk. It reminds me of the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl (2017-2022): https://bit.ly/3LEekvI. In recent years, this stadium was named Truist Field at Wake Forest (2020-2023) and BB&T Field (2007-2020). Allegacy took over the naming rights from Truist in 2023. At the time of writing this review, I found two other listings related to this stadium on Yelp: 1. Bridger Field House at BB&T Field https://bit.ly/3LAsMon 2. Truist Field https://bit.ly/3LAsHkz I tried to clean them up and consolidate everything into a single listing by submitting business edits to Yelp, but the moderator(s) left the listings as-is. Oh well. Yelp's mods and accurate business listing info have always been some of the company's biggest weaknesses, but I digress. I attended my first football game, on any level, at this stadium. Back then, Allegacy Stadium was known by its original name, Groves Stadium. It opened in 1968 and was known as Groves Stadium until BB&T got the naming rights in 2007. Wake played Clemson. I can't remember if it was the October 27, 1990 game, when No. 19 Clemson won 24-6 (attendance 25,317), or the October 31, 1992 game, when Wake won, 18-15 (attendance 21,839). I do remember my dad driving us to the game in our family's old Dodge Ram van, my friend from elementary school that we took with us (he later went on to play basketball for Virginia Tech), and sitting/standing behind the Clemson bench. Another one of our friends, from High Point, joined us and heckled one of the Clemson players. Fast-forward 30-plus years and it was me driving my dad to the game. My parents met at Wake in the 70s. I grew up a diehard Demon Deacons fan. However, I ended up going to Georgia Tech and switched allegiances. So, this most-recent gridiron matchup between Wake and Tech was a matchup between our alma maters. It's been a fun family rivalry. I still support Wake and they're my No. 2 team behind Tech. And I love the ACC in general. It had been many years since I visited this stadium. It looked good. The game was a sellout with an announced attendance of 32,528. The listed capacity of the stadium is 31,500, making it the smallest of the 18 football stadiums in the conference as of 2024 (including future members Cal, Stanford, and SMU). SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium is second-smallest at 32,000 and Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium is third-smallest at 40,004. I think Allegacy Stadium's size is appropriate for Wake Forest based on the school's enrollment, alumni base, and fanbase. As of 2023, Wake has the seventh-smallest enrollment among 133 FBS schools and *the* smallest among Power-Five-conference schools. This was my first time seeing in-person McCreary Tower (completed in August 2008) above Gate 1, the Deacon Statue in McCreary Plaza (dedicated in October 2008), and the southeast end zone video board (completed in October 2011). While these things are now 12-15 years old, they still look good today. I remember Deacon Hill (grass hill / berm seating) behind the southeast end zone and the Bridger Field House behind the northwest end zone. I still think it's bizarre how the Demon Deacon rides out on a motorcycle. What's the story behind that? I think that's been a relatively-new (21st century) tradition for Wake. I think the Ramblin' Reck is way cooler. ;) But seriously, overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere, from the team intros to the eclectic music - everything from Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics to Welcome to the Party by Diplo, French Montana, and Lil Pump - to the timeout, in-stadium, and video board entertainment. I liked the video board graphics and animations (e.g., the Winston-Salem skyline bouncing up and down) and the stadium and phone light "shows." We sat in Section 12, Row S (visitors section) and had a great view of the action. There was a congenial vibe among all the fans. Everyone seemed to get along and be having a good time. Football games are a great place to bring the whole family. Park across the street at the LJVM Coliseum. It's easy and convenient. For us, it cost $30, cash or credit. We used Waze to navigate to the coliseum's Deacon Blvd entrance, from the east (left turn into the entrance), and we didn't run into any traffic that way. Any entrance should be fine. We arrived about 30 minutes before kickoff and the lots around the coliseum were already pretty full. There was a lot of tailgating going on. A tunnel goes under Deacon Blvd so you don't have to worry about crossing the street.

NJIT Highlanders vs. High Point University Panthers at the Qubein Center…read more I saw that NJIT, a school where I studied engineering before earning my degree in Charlotte, was playing at High Point University on Friday, December 5th at 7 pm. I try to attend at least one Highlanders game each year--usually in Newark, NJ with my longtime friend, an NJIT Alumni, Mike Johnstone. Even after moving to the North Carolina Triangle, I am still committed to seeing at least one Highlanders "Hoops" game annually. This year, the timing lined up perfectly. I had volunteered earlier in the day at the Fall 2025 Senior Design Expo at UNC Charlotte as a Lee College of Engineering alumnus, so the game in High Point was on my drive home. That said, I would have made the trip from Raleigh regardless. High Point entered that night with every advantage--better form, home court, a stronger roster, and momentum; however, I knew I would enjoy cheering on NJIT. High Point competes in the Big South Conference and started the 2025-26 season strong. Going into Friday's game, they were 7-2 overall and were picked in the preseason poll to finish first in the Big South. The Panthers are a solid mid-major program, coming off one of the best seasons in school history and carrying that momentum forward. NJIT, meanwhile, plays in the America East Conference and entered the night at 3-6 overall. Their road performance has been difficult, and historically the Highlanders have faced challenges, with a long-term winning percentage under .400 since joining Division I in the mid-2000s. Still, I was proud to support them. The outcome was expected, and High Point defeated NJIT 89-72. Despite the loss, I was proud of how competitive NJIT was, and I genuinely enjoyed watching both teams--High Point is an entertaining, well-coached squad. About the Qubein Center The Qubein Center is an impressive venue for basketball and university events. It is modern, beautifully maintained, and staffed by exceptionally friendly people--from the ticket office to the ushers. Because I have knee issues that make stairs difficult, I appreciated that the staff proactively offered me a ticket in the back row so I would not need to navigate steps. Access to my seat was seamless: elevator up, escalator down after the game, and no stairs required to reach the accessible men's room or concessions. The section also had non-assigned accessible seating, and the usher kindly allowed me to use one. That made my viewing experience even more comfortable. Overall, the Qubein Center is one of the most thoughtfully designed college arenas I have visited. Parking & Shuttle Bus Experience I parked in a surface lot off North University Parkway (across from Parkway Commons), located directly across East Lexington Avenue from the Qubein Center. High Point University operates shuttle buses between the parking areas and the arena, which made transportation simple and efficient. Even though I hold a North Carolina DMV Disability Parking Placard, I parked in a regular space adjacent to the designated accessible parking. I do this intentionally so that individuals who require van-accessible spaces can use them. The shuttle service was prompt, courteous, and easy to navigate. About High Point University High Point University is a private institution founded in 1924. In recent years it has grown significantly in both size and academic scope. HPU enrolls approximately 5,000 undergraduate students and is known for programs in business, health sciences, pharmacy, communication, education, interior design, and the arts. The university is also recognized for its significant campus investment, student-experience focus, and national rankings for innovation. For the 2025-26 academic year, HPU's estimated undergraduate tuition and fees are in the range of $45,000-$48,000 annually, with total cost of attendance (including room and board) typically exceeding $60,000. About NJIT The New Jersey Institute of Technology is a public polytechnic university founded in 1881 in Newark. It is widely known for engineering, architecture, computer science, applied sciences, and technology-focused business programs. NJIT enrolls roughly 11,000 students, including one of the most diverse engineering student bodies in the country. As a public institution, NJIT's tuition profile is significantly different from HPU's. For 2025-26, in-state undergraduate tuition typically falls in the $17,000-$19,000 range, while out-of-state tuition is generally around $33,000-$35,000. Overall Impression I had a great time attending the game. I was impressed by High Point University, its fans, the professionalism of the staff, and the overall atmosphere the university created before, during, and after the game. The Qubein Center is a standout facility, and the experience was smooth from parking to seating to the game itself. Even though the Highlanders came up short, it was a memorable night, and I look forward to returning.
