RALEIGH, N.C. – The 2019 Kay Yow Spring Football Game, scheduled for April 6 at 1 p.m. at Carter-Finley Stadium, will once again provide fun for everyone in the family this season, as well as a great chance to see the football squad for the first time this year.
Admission is free and the Stadium East, Stadium Southeast, Stadium West and IPF lots will open at 8 a.m. Fans are encouraged to enter through Gate C, Gate B and Gate F (Westchase). Stadium gates 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 will open at 11:30 a.m. NC State’s regular Clear Bag Policy will be enforced and due to a concert at PNC Arena following the event, the parking lots will need to be cleared by 4 p.m.
This year’s contest will feature the offense in RED and the defense in WHITE with live tackling. The game clock will operate like a normal game in the first and second quarter, while the third and fourth quarters will have a continuous clock. Whatever end zone the player scores in will receive the points, as the offense will rotate end zones they are driving each possession.
Afterwards, players and coaches will be available on the field for autographs for 20 minutes.
Fans unable to attend can watch all the action on ACC Network Extra and WatchESPN. Former Wolfpack QB Mike Glennon, currently of the Oakland Raiders, will be joined by Andrew Sanders and Will Brinson in the booth to call the action. To watch, click HERE.
