About this event
California visits NC State at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh on Saturday, October 31, 2026, for Homecoming with kickoff still unset on the official Wolfpack athletics schedule and ACC TV windows. Trinity Road, Hillsborough Street, and the west-campus lot ring around Wayne Day Family Field pack for this ACC homecoming date once the clock posts. Tailgate and walking-food demand build along Trinity Road approaches and the stadium plazas hours before gates, then egress piles onto I-440 connectors, Blue Ridge Road, and rideshare curb after the whistle. Operators on the Carter-Finley Stadium approaches see the densest snack demand from pregame lot setup through the walkout.
