RALEIGH, N.C. -Â In conjunction with the Atlantic Coast Conference office, NC State and Virginia Tech have agreed to move their previously scheduled season opener to a common bye week. The contest, originally scheduled for Sept. 12 in Blacksburg, will now be played on Sept. 26.
Â
"We appreciate the ACC and Virginia Tech working together in partnership to move this game to a mutual open weekend," said NC State Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan. "There's no blueprint for what we're all trying to navigate and we are grateful for everyone's collaboration to make this work."
Â
Head coach Dave Doeren added, "The ACC created a league schedule with flexibility to adjust games if needed. There are going to be times teams must adjust based on what is best for the health and safety of the players and staffs involved.  This move provides our team and staff the time needed to prepare and reacclimate after pausing our practices. Â
Â
The Wolfpack is now scheduled to open the 2020 season at home against Wake Forest on Sept. 19.Â
Â
No final decisions have been made on capacity, although Carter-Finley Stadium will operate at reduced levels for the 2020 season. Additional details will be available at a later time.
