Raleigh, NC - Out-of-town NC State football fans who can’t make it to Wolfpack’s 2007 Red & White spring football game on April 14 at Carter-Finley Stadium can watch the entire contest on Pack Pass, the premium portion of www.GoPack.com. The game is slated to kick off at 1 p.m.

Since there will be no radio or live television coverage of the game, Pack Pass will be the exclusive source for viewing and hearing the action as first-year coach Tom O’Brien and his squad wrap up spring drills with a full-squad scrimmage. The format for the game will be a regular scrimmage with the first-team offense going against the first-team defense, the second-team offense going against the second team defense and so on.

Fans who want to watch and hear the spring game can go to gopack.com to subscribe to PackPass, the official source for live and on-demand media for NC State athletics.

Radio voice of the Wolfpack Gary Hahn will do play-by-play for the live webcast. GoPack.com managing editor Tim Peeler will be on the sidelines, covering the game and conducting in-game interviews with some of the former Wolfpack football players Coach O’Brien has invited for a Friday night reunion reception at Vaughn Towers and the Saturday afternoon contest.

Beginning next week, football color analyst Tony Haynes will have exclusive interviews on Pack Pass with O’Brien, offensive coordinator Dana Bible and defensive coordinator Mike Archer.

On game day, the gates will open at noon. Beach music favorites The Embers will entertain tail-gaters from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. in the Stadium West parking lot behind Vaughn Towers. The NC State marching band, the cheerleaders, mascots and the dance team will also be at the game to entertain the crowd, as the Wolfpack looks to host the Triangle’s biggest spring football event.

Concession and souvenir stands will be open on the West side of the stadium.
