Wolfpack Nation can anticipate several new features for the upcoming football season, as NC State Athletics has introduced enhancements and amenities at Carter-Finley Stadium for 2024. This initiative aims to keep fans well-informed and improve their game day experience.
Many of these updates are based on feedback from fans through postgame surveys, which have been instrumental in identifying areas for improvement.
**Text Alerts**
In 2024, NC State Athletics will introduce a game day Text Alert system to provide real-time problem resolution. Fans can text 984-352-7345 for immediate assistance starting five hours before kickoff until an hour after the game ends.
**Security Measures**
New security measures will be implemented in collaboration with NC State's Environmental Health and Public Safety Office. Walk-through weapons detection systems will be installed at each gate, and stadium restrooms will only be accessible from inside the stadium once gates open. Additional portajohns will be available outside the stadium.
**New Concessions**
Aramark will offer various new concession items, including Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwiches, specialty nacho stands, grill carts featuring hot dogs, cheesesteaks, and specialty cheeseburgers. Two new Wolf & Hen Kitchen trailers will serve chicken tenders and fries starting September 14. The Sizzle & Melt concept will feature grilled cheese, Cuban, and brisket croissant sandwiches. Craft cocktail carts will offer wine-based cocktails like Wolf-A-Rita and Pack Punch. Specialty BBQ stands in the North and South Endzones will serve BBQ + Slaw + Mac & Cheese combo boats, sausages, and chicken lollipops.
**Liquor in Dail Club/Tuffy's Terrace**
Liquor sales will be exclusive to the Dail Club and Tuffy's Terrace for those with access to these areas.
**ADA Accessibility**
To reduce congestion and wait times while enhancing ADA accessibility, Middle Hut stands have been converted to "Grab & Go" concession stands.
**Chick-Fil-A**
Chick-Fil-A has discontinued operations at Carter-Finley Stadium for the 2024 season.
**Stadium Cleaning**
The entire stadium underwent a three-month power washing project to clean the seating bowl thoroughly.
**Wayfinding**
The first phase of a wayfinding signage project has been implemented to help fans find their seats and restrooms more easily. Additional enhancements are planned for future seasons.
**Restrooms**
Restrooms have been updated with branded paper towel dispensers that are ADA compliant and aim to limit paper usage as part of sustainability efforts. Drain lines throughout the facility have also been improved.
**Former Player Graphics**
New graphics celebrating notable Wolfpack Football players are now displayed around Carter-Finley Stadium. Large panels in the north end honor first- and second-team All-Americans, first-round draft picks, and national award winners. New plaques on the west side commemorate first-team All-ACC honorees.
**TowneBank Center Updates**
TowneBank Center received updates including new paint, logos in suites, images of former standout players, campus scenes, other Wolfpack sports events, and football game day festivities.
**New Goalposts**
For the first time since 2006, new hydraulic goalposts have been installed on Wayne Day Family Field to facilitate easier transitions when hosting NCHSAA championships.
**New Chairbacks**
All chairbacks have been updated with breathable mesh that is comfortable, durable, and weatherproof. These new chairbacks are available only with season tickets; single-game rentals will use older padded clip-in styles.
