RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The kickoff of Saturday night’s Atlantic Coast Conference game between No. 14 North Carolina State and Florida State has been delayed because of a problem with the Wolfpack’s stadium lights.
The game was set to kick off after 8 p.m. But as the sun went down, the stadium lights in Carter-Finley Stadium remained off with only ribbon and scoreboard lights offering any illumination of the dimly lit field. The school issued a delay announcement on its end-zone videoboard and asked fans to move out of the seating bowl for the concourse.
The school said the game wouldn’t start for 47 minutes once the lights come on.
