What does the NC State Belltower have to do with Memorial Day?

The Belltower on Hillsborough Street is an iconic landmark on NC State’s campus.

When the Wolfpack win a major game, students and fans go and rally around the Belltower, that is lit up RED in celebration.

People go and look at it when they take a tour of the school.
