NC State has now sold 30,344 season football tickets for the 2001 football, an increase of more than 20 percent from last year. The Wolfpack has now increased sales of season tickets for the third straight year.

"Our original goal was to sell 30,000 season tickets," said Director of Athletics Lee Fowler on Wednesday. "We knew our fans were excited about the upcoming season, but their response has been overwhelming. Every time I go out to the stadium to check on the progress of construction, I see groups of fans there doing the same thing. That anticipation is going to make this a very special season for the Wolfpack."

Due to the demand for season tickets, the athletics department has expanded its season ticket availability to 31,000, as seats that have been historically sold as single game or mini-pack tickets are now available for the season. Because of the increased number of season ticket sales, there may be no single game tickets available to the general public for the 2001 season.
