Wolfpack and William & Mary will kick off 2016 season on Sept. 1
RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State football's 2016 season opener against William & Mary has been moved to Thursday, September 1 at Carter-Finley Stadium. The game time will be announced following selections by the ACC's television partners later this year.
Â
NC State's opener, originally scheduled for Sept. 3, becomes the third ACC game scheduled for Thursday of opening week, as Louisville and Wake Forest will also host games that day.
Â
With Labor Day weekend one of the busiest travel periods of the year, the Thursday game allows Wolfpack fans to attend the game and still maintain their holiday weekend plans.
Â
It marks the first time since 2012 that NC State will open the season on a weeknight, and the third time since 2008.
