 Carter
Finley Stadium
Raleigh, NC
Home of the North Carolina
State Wolfpack, Carter Finley Stadium opened in 1966. Plans for a new
stadium for the Wolfpack first came about in the early 1960s. Those
plans came to a reality when the 51,500 seat Carter Finley Stadium
opened on October 8, 1966. Built at a cost of $3.7 million, the stadium is named after
Harry and Nick Carter and A.E. Finley. The main grandstand consists of
a lower deck in the shape of a horseshoe with upper decks on both
sides of the stadium.
