RALEIGH, N.C. (Feb. 20) -- Today, workers began the process of preparing Carter-Finley Stadium for Phase I of the renovations to the stadium with the demolition of the current stadium scoreboard. Additional site work is being completed in preparation for the Wolfpack Club's official groundbreaking ceremony on Sunday, March 4.

The ceremony will take place in the south end zone of Carter-Finley at 12:15 PM, prior to the 1:30 PM men's basketball game vs. Wake Forest.

Phase I will include replacing the grass bank by installing permanent and club seating in the south end zone, building a new video scoreboard behind the field house in the north end zone, and beginning the construction of the football operations center just outside the concourse in the south end zone.

The scoreboard and the south end zone seating are expected to be completed by the start of the 2001 season.
