RALEIGH - North State Bank has pledged a $2 million donation towards the NC State baseball program's enhancement plan for Doak Field at Dail Park.
This gift is the first major commitment to the facility upgrades that will better support NC State baseball's competitive future while dramatically enhancing the spectator experience, and it will help keep the program on track to begin construction following the 2022 season.
"We are grateful to North State Bank for their significant donation towards our enhancement plan for Doak Field at Dail Park," said NC State Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan. "North State Bank and Larry Barbour have long been strong supporters of NC State Athletics and we appreciate their investment in what we believe to be a transformative project for the future of our program."Â Â Â
The enhancement plan has been separated into three phases to strategically meet program and budgetary priorities - field improvements, player performance facilities and game day/fan experience enhancements. These phases not only look to provide performance facilities for NC State players that will help them compete for and win championships, but it will create an innovative space that offers exceptional fan experience and is unique to NC State's loyal supporters.
North State Bank has been committed to NC State Athletics for more than 20 years, financially providing support to its teams and student-athletes. Additionally, President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Barbour has a long and rich history with NC State as an alum and friend to the University through his many acts of volunteer service, which were recognized in 1997 when he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award.Â
Barbour has served on numerous boards throughout the University and is the former president of the NC State Alumni Association.Â
