Carter-Finley Stadium

Carter-Finley Stadium was opened in 1966 as home to the North Carolina State University Wolfpack football team. The stadium replaced the obsolete on-campus Riddick Stadium and was originally named Carter Stadium in honor of Harry C. & Wilbert J. Nick Carter, both graduates of the university. They were major contributors to the original building of the stadium. The name of Albert E. Finley, another major contributor to the University, was added later. While located on University land, the stadium is a few miles to the west of the academic campus on Trinity Road just off of Hillsborough Street.

For the 2006 season, a new north end zone grandstand has been added. 5,730 new chairback, bench and handicap-accessible seating, with another 1,630 permanent bleacher seats built underneath the video scoreboard make Carter-Finley a bowl and give it a capacity of 60,000 spectators.
