Do the football players give autographs at this time?
Fans can cheer the team as they arrive at the Old Well, but preparation for the game does not give players the opportunity to sign autographs.

Parker's Barbecue of Wilson will also be selling barbecue with all the fixin's and a beverage for $7.00. Complimentary face painting, interactive games and other free items are available on a game to game basis.

What is the Inclement Weather Policy?
Tar Heel Town follows the same guidelines as the game and is open rain or shine! Tar Heel Town would only close if dangerous weather such as lightning or high winds were in the area.
