State\u2019s season ticket sales are off slightly, The News &amp; Observer reported Wednesday, which is always one of those signs of concern among the fan base. The Wolfpack sold 38,000 season tickets last year and is 1,800 off that number now.<\/p>\n<p>The recession is obviously a factor \u2013 another may be that two of the Pack\u2019s six home games come on Thursday nights. But this is a trend worth watching this fall. State hasn\u2019t averaged fewer  than 56,000 fans since 2005, when it averaged 52,925. Even that number is deceiving because one game, Middle Tennessee, drew only 37,000.<\/p>\n<p>Here are State\u2019s home-attendance averages the last four years:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_na0H8CJUvY4\/THVHimyG6QI\/AAAAAAAAAQM\/nCL9-72eXE0\/s1600\/nc-state-girls.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"162\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_na0H8CJUvY4\/THVHimyG6QI\/AAAAAAAAAQM\/nCL9-72eXE0\/s200\/nc-state-girls.jpg\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><br \/>2009: 56,422<br \/>2008: 56,665<br \/>2007: 56,356<br \/>2006: 56,540<br \/>2005: 52,925<\/p>\n<p>Those aren\u2019t SEC numbers but are strong for an ACC team. UNC, by comparison, has sold 35,100 season tickets this year, up from 34,500 last season. <\/p>\n<p>Duke has sold out of season tickets, but the Devils aren\u2019t giving that total. This much we do know \u2013 Alabama fans are doing all they can to get tickets, and you can bet some Duke, uh, season ticket holders will be wearing Crimson Sept. 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N.C.
