NC State Men’s Basketball has Sold Out Their Season Opener for the 1st Time in Lenovo Center History

NC State Men’s Basketball has sold out its 2025–26 season opener against North Carolina Central on November 3.

This marks the first time the Wolfpack has sold out a home opener since it started playing there in 1999.

It’s fair to say the hype surrounding the Will Wade era at NC State is real.

Selling out the Lenovo Center is no small feat — it’s the eighth-largest college basketball arena, with a capacity of 19,500 seats.

The Wolfpack has currently sold over 10,000 season tickets.

While it’s difficult to track every sellout in arena history, here are the most recent ones I could confirm:
• Jan. 10, 2025 — vs. UNC
• Mar. 4, 2024 — vs. Duke
• Jan. 10, 2024 — vs. UNC
• Feb. 19, 2023 — vs. UNC
• Feb. 19, 2020 — vs. Duke
• Feb. 10, 2018 — vs. UNC
