WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Wake Forest University says it has completed its purchase of Joel Coliseum from the city of Winston-Salem.

The school announced its purchase Thursday. City Manager Lee Garrity told The Associated Press that the price was $8 million and that the school has committed to spend $10 million in capital improvements.

City Council approved the sale in May.
