wallace wade stadium

Great Atmosphere for a Football game....Most of the Vendor food is very good. Crowds lively, enthused and LOUD

We attended Duke's football game vs Virginia and had a nice time. The best part of this stadium is its good sightlines from the seats since it is not very large. We also liked the variety of ethnic foods sold at stands along the concourse about the seating area. Fans actually walk DOWN to their seats as the stadium stands in a sloped area. There are few modern conveniences in this stadium, no overhangs for shade, and nowhere to retreat from rain...fortunately we had a gorgeous day for the game we attended. Despite Duke's winning ways of late the fan base is largely there to socialize as basketball season is what turns Dukies on.

Stopped by for a post season look and field was completely dug up for major reconstruction. Expect it will be back together soon.

As a regular for Duke Football games, I loved the charm of an older stadium. The stadium will undergo a major renovation in 2015 and 2016. It will be done in phases as not to interfere with the football season. I will miss the concession trailers.

Though I am not a duke fan, I admit their stadium is nice. Most seats seem to give a good view and the atmosphere is pretty nice. I like that all the concessions are outside, so you are always in the elements which is part of the football experience.

Beautiful stadium with lots of history. Built in 1929, hosted the Rose Bowl in 1942, and the Grateful Dead played here in the 70's.. That's history! Great place to watch a football game. Hope it doesn't change with the new renovations. Luxury suites, 75 ft high def video board, etc. Welcome to the 21st century Wallace Wade.

Wallace-Wade stadium is a good place to take in a college football game. It lacks many of the amenities of modern football stadiums, but it makes up for that with its history. The stadium is the only site outside of Pasadena, CA to host the Rose Bowl. Wallace-Wade hosted the 1942 Rose Bowl game after officials were afraid of a Japanese invasion of California following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The history alone makes taking in a game at this stadium worth it. Duke has also improved a large section of visitor seating, going to chair back seats as opposed to metal bleachers found throughout most of the stadium. Tickets are very affordable, so if you're in the area plan to stop by and catch a game!

Wallace Wade Stadium is changing it's look. A new track is being built close by so the old track will be removed. They are also in the process of replacing the hard metal benches with Duke blue seats. The plan is, after this years season is over they will start digging and drop the football field about 10 feet and add field-level seating. We get season tickets and will be there cheering on our team. Hope to see you there.

Not the biggest stadium in college football, and not the most iconic stadium in college football, but it's still a great stadium to watch the game. You can see the field very well from anywhere in the stadium.

Great venue for inexpensive sports entertainment. Good variety of food...fun entertainment for kids pregame outside of the stadium.Family package general admission season tickets very reasonable.

A special place to see that is part of a wonderful Duke campus. An easy walk to campus . Parking during school sessions is difficult.

The Wallace Wade Stadium is the home of the University of Duke football team. The stadium itself is located adjacent to the more famous Cameron Indoor Arena where the basketball teams play. Given that Duke is a basketball school, it shows in the size and atmosphere of the Wallace Wade Stadium. It is smaller than most other Division I schools that I've been to with a little less than 34,000 seats. Seating is in a horseshoe with one end having no seats.Getting to the stadium can be difficult for the general public. The parking lots are a good distance away and there are no directions on how to get to the stadium. You will need to follow others and hope that they know where they are going. However it only costs $10 to park which could always be worse. You can purchase parking passes for closer lots, but don't know how much or how to obtain one.The atmosphere inside the stadium was good. Given its small size it never got really that loud. However the local fans seemed to get into the game, particularly when Duke started pulling away against a ranked team. I was surprised with the variation of food options for such a small stadium. I didn't try any, but could find almost everything that would fit my needs. The funnel cake seemed to be the most popular option amongst the fans.The only minor issue was the usher whose attitude showed that she really didn't want to be there. She was supposed to be helping people find their seats, but when I asked her only response was a head nod. I had to press her for which side was best to get to my seat. This was probably an isolated incident and wouldn't hold it against the stadium.If you are looking for something to do on a Saturday and like football, I would recommend going to the Wallace Wade Stadium. The fans were into the game and you could feel safe bringing your kids to the game.

I pick up tickets from an internet website, such as Stubhub, as I can usually buy them for less than face value. The visitor parking is a bit of a walk, but it is acceptable. I try to select certain games where I know Duke will at least be competitive. Wake Forest, Virginia, and whichever FCS team they are playing, are usually good choices. The stadium itself is modest, but it is a pleasant place to watch a game. It is a place where I would feel comfortable taking my family to watch a game.
