WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Wake Forest University will soon have a new name for its football stadium and a new presenting sponsor for its women’s athletics teams.
The university announced that Truist Financial Corp. (NYSE: TFC) will not extend its naming rights to Groves Stadium, which has been known as Truist Field since 2020 after BB&T’s merger with SunTrust Bank. From 2007 until 2020, the name was BB&T Field. BB&T was headquartered in Winston-Salem until the merger created Truist, headquartered in Charlotte.
The school said a new name for the stadium will be announced later this week.
