Wife and I are trying to figure out which day we want to head out. The only day that is out of the question will be next Saturday when NCSU plays their home game.
If it stops raining - this might be a good option for those who like to ride rides: Discounted admission and ride tickets are on for sale on Thursday's preview day. Admission will be $8 for adults and $2 for children. A wristband for unlimited rides will be available for only $25. After the official opening of the Fair Friday, admission will go up to $8 for adults and $3 for children, and an 18-ticket ride sheet will be $18. http://www.wral.com/entertainment/statefair/story/8449115/
Hmmmmm....how did they manage to not have a home during the state fair? That is so out of place for them.
Maybe WRAL has it wrong? I looked at the NC Fair site, its still kinda confusing: http://www.ncstatefair.org/2010/Tickets/index.htm
According to the website: www.ncstatefair.org/2010/General/PreviewDay.htm Preview Day Thursday, Oct. 14, 2010 Unlimited Ride Wristband Powers Great American Midways will offer an unlimited ride wristband on Thursday, Oct. 14, from 3:30 p.m. to closing only.

Individual ride tickets and ride sheets purchased in advance can still be used on this day, in addition to the unlimited ride wristband. Discounted Admission Price for Preview Day only.

Schedules (football) are planned almost 10 years in advance, and they finally got out from underneath the two going on at the same time....hasn't been one coinciding with a home game in about 4, maybe 5 years. Thankfully.
No fair for us this year. Too many food temptations. I think I'll miss my annual candy apple the most!
i always thought a football game during the fair was cool. Texas St fair always goes along with texas and oklahoma game.
