Traffic and Parking Info for Thursday Night's Game

Waze Driving Directions to Parking Lots

Shorten the Drive, Arrive Before Five!!

Because the NC State-Louisville football game will be on a Thursday night, there will be heavy traffic in and around the Carter-Finley Stadium Complex, especially on Wade Avenue. Fans are encouraged to arrive at the stadium complex before 5 p.m. if possible in order to avoid rush hour traffic.

For patrons unable to arrive that early, the State Highway Department and Wake County Sherriff's Office suggest utilizing Highway 54 and other routes south and east of the stadium to enter the parking lots (see full list below).

Special Note: Three parking lots -- Westchase, Cardinal Gibbons High School and Vet Deck -- will be not be available until 5 p.m. on Thursday due to normal business operations during the day.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation Center will monitor the traffic from its command center near the stadium complex and will relay crucial information to digital signage found throughout the ingress routes, as well as to NC State Athletics.
