Some moments feel bigger than a game—and this is one of them. On December 30, Stephen Curry is officially coming home to Davidson, and Lake Norman is ready to celebrate in a major way.

Long before he became a four-time NBA champion, MVP, and global basketball icon, Steph Curry was lighting up the court at Davidson College. His time as a Wildcat didn’t just put Davidson on the national map—it changed college basketball forever. Now, one of the biggest stars in sports is returning to where it all began.

The Wildcats will host Duquesne that night, but the celebration goes far beyond the hardwood. In honor of Curry’s impact on Davidson, the region, and the game itself, I-77 Exit 30 will officially be renamed the Stephen Curry Interchange. Yes—Lake Norman traffic just got a legendary upgrade.

This is a rare, full-circle moment that blends sports, community pride, and local history. Davidson isn’t just welcoming back an alum—it’s honoring a hometown hero whose influence stretches far beyond the NBA. Expect an electric atmosphere, packed stands, and plenty of memories being made both on and off campus.

Tickets for the game are on sale now, and there’s even more reason to get excited. Ben & Jerry’s Davidson is getting in on the fun, offering fans a chance to win two tickets to the game plus two free scoops from their scoop stand. Just tag @benandjerrysdav and say, “I want to see Steph.” Because honestly… who doesn’t?

From Davidson to the world and back again, this is one Lake Norman event that proves legends never forget where they came from.
