Raleigh, N.C. -
Wolfpack fans, the 2012 football season is finally here! As you are putting the finishing touches on your tailgate plans, make sure you plan to visit an enhanced Fan Zone to enjoy interactive games, displays and live entertainment that makes our tailgating atmosphere among the best in the ACC. Located on the front lawn of the PNC Arena behind the North End Zone of Carter-Finley Stadium, Fan Zone will open at 3:00 PM and will be packed full of activities for Wolfpack fans of all ages.
Taking center stage in Fan Zone, Mark Thomas, Mike Maniscalco and Don Shea will team up for ‘The Mathews Motors Countdown to Kickoff Show’. The Countdown to Kickoff Show will originate live from the Fan Zone in front of PNC Arena and the pregame coverage of Pack football will begin two hours before kickoff.
Once again this year there will be large LED screen broadcasting college football games from across the country compliments of Time Warner Cable. Along with the huge LED board, Wolfpack fans can have their pictures taken and uploaded to the Carter-Finley Stadium video board as part of Time Warner Cable’s Pack Pics promotion.
Touchstone Energy Cooperatives is the proud sponsor of the NC State vs. South Alabama game this Saturday, September 15. Visit them in Fan Zone three hours before kickoff and get in the gates early for their premium item giveaway! Touchstone will also be providing a group of kids, from 4-H programs around the state, the opportunity to lead Mr. and Mrs. Wuf onto the field before kickoff. Be sure to get to your seats early to cheer them on. North Carolina’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives, proud partner of Wolfpack Football.
