On Tuesday, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced that he will allow limited attendance at outdoor event venues that would permit them to host 7-percent of their capacity. That takes into affect on Oct. 2.
"We do believe outdoor events are safer than indoor events," Cooper said during a press conference Tuesday.
Cooper clarified it will have to be seated arenas.
At NC State, that would mean about 4,030 fans at Carter-Finley Stadium, which holds 57,583 at capacity. The Wolfpack's next home game is Oct. 17 against Duke.
For its opener against Wake Forest, NC State received a limited number of tickets that were distributed to families of its players as well as some for relatives of the visiting Demon Deacons' teams.
