Raleigh · Downtown
Stay minutes from the game — and walk to dinner. Carter-Finley Stadium — the NC State Wolfpack's home since 1966 — sits in west Raleigh, about a 12–15 minute drive from Trifecta's downtown apartment at 400H. Come in for a football Saturday, then drive back to walkable downtown and a furnished apartment with a full kitchen and your own bed instead of an out-of-town hotel.
How close you'll be
Trifecta's downtown Raleigh apartment is in 400H — at the crossroads of the Warehouse District and Glenwood South — about a 12–15 minute drive from Carter-Finley Stadium. Stay in walkable downtown, drive out for the Wolfpack on Saturday, and make a weekend of it.

Apartment vs hotel
Feed a group before the event and skip the overpriced venue concessions. Cookware, dishwasher, full-size fridge — all included.
A separate bedroom, a full living room, and a real kitchen — room to actually relax or work, not one cramped hotel room.
Pack light for a multi-night run of shows or a season of home games. Washer and dryer in every unit.
For two nights or more, a furnished apartment usually beats a comparable downtown hotel — and direct booking drops the 15–20% OTA service fee entirely.
Event lots empty slowly and the drive home is long. Stay minutes away and the worst of your night is a short, familiar trip back to your own door — resident parking waiting, no hour-plus crawl out and no late highway haul.
We own and operate every apartment. Book direct and you reach the people who run the building, instantly confirmed.
Getting around
This is a drive-to stadium — about 5 miles west of downtown in the Fairgrounds / Lenovo Center complex, with no rail in Raleigh, so plan on a ~12–15 minute drive, a rideshare, or NC State's game-day Wolfline shuttle from a Park & Ride. The upside is your base: 400H is in the heart of walkable downtown, so Glenwood South, the Warehouse District, and Raleigh Union Station are all on foot.
West on Wade Avenue toward the Fairgrounds / Trinity Road — about 5 miles / 12–15 minutes from downtown, longer on game day. Stadium lots are reserved/permit; rideshare and the free Park & Ride lots are the no-permit options.
On game days NC State runs free shuttles from campus and free Park & Ride lots to the stadium — a common car-free option if you drive partway and park off-site.
A quick hop from downtown — drop-off and pickup stage at the Fairgrounds reserved lot off Trinity Road near Gate C. The easy call to skip the game-day permits.
About 12 miles / a 20-minute drive — easy for a fly-in game weekend.
Make a weekend of it
Pair the game with walkable downtown Raleigh — Glenwood South and the Warehouse District at 400H's door, the stadium a short drive west, and Raleigh Union Station for a car-free arrival.
Restaurants, rooftop bars, and the Morgan Street Food Hall start right at 400H's door — the natural spot to fuel up before the drive out to the game.
Carter-Finley shares the west-Raleigh complex with Lenovo Center (Hurricanes + concerts) and the NC State Fairgrounds — easy to pair a game with an arena event the same weekend.
Amtrak (the Carolinian, Piedmont, and Floridian) is a short walk from 400H — arrive by train and you only need a car or rideshare for the drive to the game.
Downtown Raleigh's main street is lined with restaurants and bars a few blocks east of 400H — an easy post-game dinner back downtown.
Good to know
400H is in downtown Raleigh, about 5 miles — a 12–15 minute drive west on Wade Avenue — from the stadium. Game-day traffic runs longer, so many fans rideshare or use NC State’s Park & Ride and the Wolfline shuttle. Times are approximate.
Yes. Carter-Finley’s on-site lots are reserved/permit on game days, but NC State runs free off-campus Park & Ride lots with Wolfline “Red Terror” shuttles to the stadium, and a rideshare from downtown (drop-off at the Fairgrounds lot off Trinity Road) is easy. Raleigh has no light rail, so plan to drive or ride.
Seven home games at Carter-Finley: Richmond on a Friday-night home opener (Sep 11, 7pm), Appalachian State (Sep 26), Louisville (Oct 3), the Wake Forest rivalry (Oct 10), California (Oct 31), the Duke rivalry (Nov 7), and Syracuse (Nov 14). Kickoff times are set about 12 days out, and a couple of dates could flex to Friday.
It seats 56,919 for Wolfpack football. The stadium opened in 1966 (as Carter Stadium; the Finley name was added in 1979) and sits in the west-Raleigh complex alongside Lenovo Center and the NC State Fairgrounds.
For two or more nights, usually — a full kitchen for the pre-game spread, room for the group, in-unit laundry, and a lower per-night cost than a comparable hotel, with no OTA service fee when you book direct. And you’re based in walkable downtown Raleigh, not out by the highway.
