It might get loud.
NC State could use a faster start this week, mainly because, y'know, it helps a bit more when you're on the road. The Wolfpack knows it will be walking into a sold-out stadium with a crowd amped up about Old Dominion's first home game against a power-conference school.
This gives the Pack several reasons to take advantage of its new indoor facility, and none of them have to do with the weather. For one thing, Old Dominion plays on field turf, so State can make sure it's accustomed to that surface. Plus it makes piping in crowd noise during practice more useful, for obvious reasons, and by obvious reasons I mean walls.
