RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State, the State Highway Patrol and the NCDOT have announced suggested traffic routes for the Wolfpack football game against Miami on Saturday, October 23. Although the game time has not yet been finalized, it will begin at either 7:00 PM or 7:45 PM. Due to the late evening kick-off, and in addition to the annual North Carolina State Fair, travel delays are expected for all fans and patrons. Fans are asked to help limit travel problems by arriving at the stadium much earlier than normal.
To encourage Wolfpack fans to arrive early, the Walk of Champions is scheduled to begin 2 1/2 hours prior to game time. In addition, tip-off for the annual Red / White basketball scrimmage will begin 2 hours and 15 minutes prior to the football game. All fans are encouraged to come out early and enjoy the State Fair before heading back for these pre-game events.
Listed below are the recommended traffic routes compiled in coordination by the State Highway Patrol and the NCDOT.
Fans with Parking Passes
The recommended travel route for all football game traffic is Wade Avenue to Edwards Mill Road. It is highly recommended that Hillsborough Street, Trinity Road, and adjacent streets be avoided. Entrances to stadium and arena parking will be accessed either off Edwards Mill Road or Wade Avenue. Fans with parking passes in reserved lots east of Carter-Finley Stadium on Trinity Road (across from the Fairgrounds) are encouraged to utilize Wade Avenue to Blue Ridge Road.
Fans without Parking Passes
All fans attending the game without a reserved parking pass are asked to park at one of the park-and-ride lots operated for the State Fair and the football game. These shuttles will operate from 8:00 AM until 12:00 midnight. A list of locations is below:
