Gentlemen, I come in Peace

Louisville fan here, posted on Tigernet in the past. Needing help regarding visiting NC State. Normally, I would post on the opposing team board's, but apparently they are all premium services. No thanks to that. And, I know Clemson fans have a long tradition of traveling to Raleigh.
Anyways, where are visiting fans seated at Carter Finley? I've read or hear that pretty much the upper four corners of CF are for visiting fans. Also, where to park? Again, Googling brings up the NC State vet school parking structure, and some business lots off Edwards Mill Road. Any help? Finally are how Wolfpack fans? I've read some not so good stuff on here about NC State fans being verbally abusive to you guys during and after games. I'm *planning* on bringing my family, but will adjust accordingly if this is another Morgantown or Maryland Stadium.
Good luck going forward, and I hope Clemson moves up in the CFP poll this week!

at NCSU is similar to Maryland. The only thing is they have a terrible football team so they may not even show up for the game or care enough to be as belligerent as normal.

As for parking, it is in the city so... I say there are a few places to find but no real go-to spot. Depends on how long of a walk personally. As for the fans, a lot better than Morgantown. A bit more abrasive than y'all. However, they will not have the hate out for you and I bet most don't show up.
The again, you will be wearing red so I bet most folks will not be literate enough to actually read the same on the shirt. Basically, it is either Blue/Red town turf area... you should be fine.... sometimes Purple or Yellow

Trinity Rd @ Edwards Mill Rd headed away from the stadium.

Usually ample parking in the lots for businesses and organizations closed on Saturday. Not too bad of a stroll down to the game from there.

There's a Ramada on Blue ridge rd. It's about a 5 minute walk to stadium. It used to be a Courtyard by Marriot.
It is still only $89 a night - hotels.com
Has some nice outdoor areas in center of hotel. I took the kids a few years back and we just grabbed a gazebo and tailgated there and got to stadium just before kickoff. Their fans are not the nicest around.
Free breakfast too.

I'm about 10 min from the stadium. Been across the street to a ton of the hockey games. The stadium is located next to the fair grounds and a lot of the fans are tailgating around there. Theres plenty of parking if you dont mind a few minutes walk. Blue Ridge road. And Edwards Mill road have places to eat and stay.
As for the fans, i havent been to a game there for a few years. Some of my friends are ncsu grads or fans. Wouldnt think twice in tailgating with most of them....a few of them like to drink and then start talking crap. I can tell you, no place ive been has been as bad as an lsu or coot game

I just got back from the NC State game. Find the backyard Bistro on a map. The road in front of it has free parking that was pretty available 3 or 4 hours before the game. The Bistro is a great place to hang out and have a pregame meal. I met a couple of #### headed NC State fans, but many of them were very cool - invited me to join their tailgate to watch the end of LSU _ Bama.
I think you are right about the four corners, but all levels of the stadium are accessible and you should be able to move easily to better seats

Another option: Find Honest Abe's on a map. It's in a

little business park with lots of free parking. I don't know how old your kids are - but there's actually a little grassy area there to throw a football...
Honest Abe's has "OK" food - but there are TVs and lots of different beers.
Down side: it's a one mile walk from there to the stadium gates. (Be sure to notice where the tunnel is that goes to the stadium BEFORE you start walking...) Not a bad walk really.
