Fowler: “show will provide good publicity and exposure for N.C. State” / Horrible parking woes @ C-F ruin concert for many
Another person wrote, “I was very disappointed with what I witnessed last evening. I will never participate in any event at Carter Finley Stadium or RBC Center in Raleigh AGAIN! I have seen many concerts over the years and the way this (traffic) was handled was a joke.” Just checked the N&O blog to read a [...]

Friday, September 25, 2009
Finally, the game is almost here. Paul Zeise is the Pitt beat writer for the Post-Gazette and recently did a chat about this week’s Pitt/NC State matchup. Here are his comments about the impact of crowds at Carter Finley stadium: Well I suppose Bob Smizik might have been there for that game (the 1988 [...]

Friday, September 11, 2009
Alternative Title: After 43 years, Wolfpack Club takes leadership of Athletics Department’s responsibility (again) After last week’s game against South Carolina, SFN opened an interesting thread on the message boards asking people to share their ‘non-football’ experiences at Carter-Finley. As a Stadium SE permit holder, I have noticed the last several years that nobody has any clue [...]

I couldn’t figure out how to embed this video so I have to provide you the link to it. Pretty cool, and looks pretty good with the colors and the students’ “White Out”. Hope you enjoy. While we are showing videos, how can we not archive the following for the future? Thing about [...]

Friday, August 7, 2009
This is the final part of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of [...]

Monday, July 20, 2009
I know that we are going to give this guy more traffic than he ever imagined, but we just wanted to call your attention this entry from The ACC & SEC Blog because for some reason it really stuck me the wrong way. The goal of the entry was supposed to “rank the toughest stadiums in [...]

You aren’t looking below the features! But, we expected it. Yesterday we linked a couple of entries below the three top features – Russell Wilson and Polling – that didn’t seem to attract many views. I’m guilty, too. I missed it. It will just be something to get accustomed to. We told you in last [...]

Monday, April 27, 2009
I know this article is old. But, this is why I save old links so as to not forget them! You can click here to ESPN The Magazine’s ranking of student sections in college football stadiums across the country. The only two ACC programs that gain a mention in the rankings are [...]

Monday, March 9, 2009
This morning U2 released the dates to their 2009 world tour. It looks like U2 will be playing in Raleigh at a “Stadium” on Oct. 3rd. A quick check of the NC State Football Schedule shows that the Wolfpack will playing in Winston Salem. Update from David Menconi from the N&O.

On May 14th of this year, over at my old site, Red and White From State, I made an entry that suggested something I thought that would look really neat at a home game: Something Cool That NC State Should Do At Home Games Most of us have all see the flipcards that make graphic elements in [...]

NC State’s athletic department is currently taking votes for a sing-along anthem to be played between the third and fourth quarters at Carter-Finley Stadium. You can find the article and vote here. Let’s take a look at the 3 songs mentioned in the first paragraph of the gopack.com article. First, “Sweet Caroline” was played [...]

Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Aesthetic improvements continue at Carter-Finley. As the picture below indicates (taken from this source), there is a new addition to the wolves’ den tunnel leading from the Murphy Center to Wayne Day Field. I like it. I’m all for improvements like this that add some pizzaz to the place. I think I would like it more [...]

Wednesday, July 16, 2008
An awful lot of attention was applied to an ESPN blog post about “toughest” football stadiums in the ACC throughout the conference’s footprint this week. SFN led the charge with a pretty comprehensive initial entry that can be seen by clicking here and then was followed-up by a great piece from LRM that received a lot [...]

If you want some ECU, then hopefully you didn’t miss our pre-game/in-game entry or our first postgame entry. We’ll have a little more State-ECU talk during the week since we were busy with work last week and didn’t have a lot leading up to the game. Today’s entry is focused on something much more broad in [...]

Wednesday, September 26, 2007
“N.C. State’s fans are among the most patient and loyal in all of college athletics.” That hardly qualifies as breaking news, but it’s worth repeating in the wake of a couple of issues — fans leaving early and the coach’s frank comments.” As we’ve said many times in the past…when Caulton Tudor gets something right, he [...]

Monday, May 22, 2006
Tim Peeler has neat piece up on GoPack.com. (Link) I’m looking for a little help. To help celebrate the 40th anniversary of Carter-Finley Stadium, the athletics department is looking to identify the top seven games ever played at NC State’s home football stadium. After we have identified the top 20 candidates, we’re going to conduct [...]
