North Carolina State University’s new 28-foot-high statue of its wolf-pack mascot has the booster club howling with glee over the latest campus landmark.
Not only are the sculpted wolves standing guard at the newly renovated Carter-Finley Stadium, but they are also part of a novel fund-raising concept.

The marketing firm commissioned the statue from Dick Idol, an N.C. State alumnus, and helped develop the fund-raising scheme.
