Buy your season tickets Deacon fans, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are heading to Winston-Salem next November.
Blogger So Dear has confirmed that Notre Dame will play at Wake Forest on November 5th, 2011.
This will easily be one of the biggest games at Groves Stadium, as well as Wake Forest history. It is very rare that Notre Dame brokers a deal to play any road game outside of their traditional rivals. Once again, Wake Forest fans should thank Ron Wellman, as well as Nathan Hatch (and his Notre Dame ties) for getting this showdown in Winston-Salem, as well as South Bend in 2012.
The home schedule for Wake Forest next year is also extremely impressive. The Deacons welcome: Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Florida State, NC State, Maryland, Vanderbilt and Air Force. For a team that will likely have ACC championship game aspirations, this is a hefty schedule, especially for LOWF.

Hell Yes. That’s awesome. That home lineup next year is going to be brutal but it’s pretty impressive.
We should absolutely sell out season tickets next year.
VPI, FSU, and Notre Dame?
Yes please.

We've got it on pretty good authority. No official quote from Wake, but we have heard from a number of people close to the program that have confirmed this.
Bah da da da da da da da, Go Deacs.

I'll stick with Groves Stadium unless we lose our BB&T sponsorship money here at BSD...

Pretty sure it will be at Groves or could it be somewhere neutral like Charlotte? Any chance it could be the kickoff in the capital like VT/BSU?
Good get
But 2011 ACC Championship Game aspirations? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, boys. :)

You disagree? The schedule is pretty rough. We should have a pretty good team next year.

BC, Florida State and Clemson aren't going anywhere ...
Those three programs will have pretty good teams next year, too. FSU also has the favorable Coastal schedule in 2011 – Miami, Virginia, at Duke.
