Over 1,000 tickets out for Gala and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony set for Sept. 16
RALEIGH, N.C. - After undergoing a $35 million renovation that started in March 2015, Reynolds Coliseum is ready to open its shiny new doors.
The Reynolds Coliseum Grand Reopening Gala will be held on Friday, September 16, and over 1,000 people have already purchased tickets. The event will be headlined by the induction of the 2016 NC State Athletic Hall of Fame Class .
Reynolds Coliseum doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for guests to enjoy heavy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails while discovering all that the new NC State Athletic Walk of Fame & History has to offer. The ribbon cutting ceremony and Class of 2016 inductions will take place on stage in the arena at 8 p.m. Following the program, a dessert reception that will include autographs from the new Hall of Fame inductees will be held at 9 p.m.
The competition floor has shifted a full half-court to the south end and seating capacity has been reduced from 8,300 to 6,000 to provide an intimate home court environment. New hospitality areas, restrooms, concessions, merchandise stands and other amenities await fans. All building systems have been overhauled, including the addition of new LED sport lighting. In May, air conditioning was turned on for the first time in the 67-year history of the storied venue.
Adjacent to the iconic north lobby, the first third of the arena has been transformed into the Grand Hall and will serve as the heart of the new NC State Athletics Walk of Fame & History. Exhibits celebrating the rich history and tradition of Wolfpack athletics flow throughout the concourses of the arena. Â
In addition to the Gala celebrating the grand reopening of the building, the 2016 Hall of Fame Class will be honored, headlined by the 1974 national champion men's basketball team, football and swimming and diving standout Dick Christy, U.S. lacrosse Hall of Famer Stan Cockerton, swimming and diving coaching great Don Easterling, women's basketball's Linda Page, and multi-sport athlete Dave Robertson. Complete bios for the class are available by clicking HERE.
The first event in the newly renovated Reynolds will be the NC State volleyball team's Wolfpack Invitational this weekend. The action starts on Friday at 11 a.m. versus Delaware. NC State will also host home contests against High Point (Friday at 7 p.m.) and SMU (Saturday at 7 p.m.) this weekend.

You can also purchase women's basketball, wrestling and gymnastics season tickets HERE, as those squads will be starting their seasons later this fall in Reynolds.
