NC State Football Team finishes finals before heading to Orlando

The NCSU football team will have their last exams on December 17th and will head to Orlando, FL on December 23rd. The team has various activities planned before the actual game and are planning on attending Disney World! Debbie Yow talks about our fans and how well they travel.

This is easily the largest bowl NC State has been to since we played Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl, 2003. NCSU fans were alotted 13,500 tickets at $65 a piece, I personally expect the game to sell out. The hotel reservations were nearly booked the day of bowl announcments, I cant imagine what it is like trying to find a hotel now. As I mentioned in my previous post, the team will be staying at the Hilton on Destination Drive in Orlando. You can join their pregame and postgame parties and meals here. Interestingly enough, I went online to try "book a hotel" and see if they are sold out. The majority of sites are "temporarily unavailiable." This could simply be because the site is under construction, but may have something to do with the large influx of people wanting to book at the Hilton for the next few weeks.

I hope everyone has safe travels for the holidays and I hope to see you in Florida! Go Pack!
