NC State Wolfpack Football History

The NC State Wolfpack football team, originating as The North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, debuted in 1892 under coach Perrin Busbee. The Aggies won their first game against Raleigh Male Academy and later faced Tennessee College in their inaugural intercollegiate match. The enduring rivalry with UNC Chapel Hill commenced in 1894. Despite early struggles, coach Mickey Whitehurst led the 1910 team to a South Atlantic championship. In 1921, under coach Harry Hartsell, they joined the Southern Conference, winning it in 1927.

The Bo Rein era (1976–1979) brought an ACC title in 1979. Lou Holtz's tenure (1972–1975) saw four bowl games, including a Peach Bowl win in 1972. Dick Sheridan's era (1986–1992) witnessed six bowl appearances, and Mike O'Cain (1993–1999) secured a Peach Bowl win in 1994. Chuck Amato's era (2000–2006) boasted an 11-win season in 2002. Tom O'Brien (2007–2012) led the team to consistent bowl appearances. Dave Doeren took over in 2013, achieving notable success, including a St. Petersburg Bowl win in 2014. The 2022 contract extension reflects confidence in Doeren's leadership, marking an exciting chapter for the Wolfpack.

NC State Wolfpack Football Stadium: Carter–Finley Stadium

NC State's football roots trace back to makeshift fields around campus before the establishment of Riddick Stadium in 1907. Initially, games were played at various locations, including Pullen Park and the State Fairgrounds. Riddick Field, named after esteemed professor W.C. Riddick in 1912, hosted the Aggies' games but faced limitations with only 14,000 permanent seats and a total capacity of 23,000.

Recognizing its obsolescence, the university transitioned to Carter Stadium in 1966, later renamed Carter–Finley Stadium in 1979. With a seating capacity of 56,919, the modern facility became a revered home for NC State football. Carter–Finley has witnessed iconic moments and hosted legendary athletes like Philip Rivers, Torry Holt, and Russell Wilson. Notably, the 50th season celebration in 2016 marked a memorable victory against Notre Dame amid Hurricane Matthew, emphasizing the enduring legacy of the stadium.
