This year will not be the year that attendance takes a big jump. Capacity will be capped way below normal because of the pandemic.
I wouldn’t be so sure.

This is us as well. We are further down east with a 4 hour drive each way. We like to spend at least one night in W-S for each home game. There are some excellent restaurants now in the 4th street area. The hotel situation is also finally getting better with a new Marriott Courtyard on 4th street (developed by a WFU alumni) and the Hotel Indigo, also on 4th street, which we have not yet tried. The Embassy Suites has been a complete dump with horrible service for several years but I understand that is finally being remodeled. The Marriott is also much nicer now with newly upgraded rooms. We make a nice weekend out of the trip now as well.
But the stands will be packed with Black and Gold (up to whatever limit is imposed at that time)!
This is true - Downtown Winston is one of the coolest and most fun places in NC.Downtown Winston has definitely brightened up over the past few years. I think it’s actually one of the prettiest cities in North Carolina. Obviously it’s not Charlotte or Raleigh in size, but downtown finally has a nice vibe.
It really worries me that the shutdown may hurt that.
Seeing the FSU headlines on ESPN makes me think they'll be a complete dumpster fire again this season. There is obviously an unprecedented time but I'm surprised that star FSU linebacker aired his coach out like that. Seems like a blatant lack of any respect for the coach, you'd think he would have reached out directly to try and address the situation at the source of the problem - Norvell and his exaggerated quotes.

(when has capacity ever been capped by anything other than the amount of seats in the stadium??)
If it turns out that games this fall will require greatly reduced crowd sizes, I think that could be good for Wake. Seriously. We never have huge crowds at home and do well there. And if we play away games at our key rivals with partially filled stadiums, then the home teams loses some of their advantage. Good for us.
We’ll see what actually happens.
