WRAL-TV and Capitol Broadcasting are painting the town red in our excitement for our neighbors, NC State! WRAL is literally lighting the station red, preparing a half-hour special about the Wolfpack Men’s and Women’s Basketball Teams’ historic simultaneous run to the NCAA Final 4, and inviting the public to the WRAL Gardens, right across from the NC State campus to get hyped before the weekend games.
WRAL-TV is lighting the tower and the fountain red for the entire week leading up to the NC State Men’s and Women’s Basketball Teams playing in the NCAA Final Four.
Lighting the Tower Red
WRAL is lighting our tower full red for the Wolfpack all week.
“We usually light it according to the next day’s weather so the weather team got the honor of lighting it red,” said WRAL-TV Meteorologist Mike Maze of the inaugural lighting on Monday night.
See the tower proudly red in the night sky!
