Hut, hut, hike, Raleigh. It’s one of our favorite times of the year: football season. For Wolfpack fans, this means NC State game days at Carter–Finley Stadium and, of course, pre-game tailgating.

To help fans spend less time food-prepping and more time cheering on the Wolfpack, Lowes Foods has two ultimate ways to best enjoy the game this season. (Hint: one of them is a giveaway — and trust us, you don’t want to fumble this opportunity.)

🏈 At the stadium

Each week, Lowes Foods is giving away an Ultimate Tailgate. Fans can enter to win a catered tailgate for six filled with your choice of entrees (think: wings, ribs, sliders, and more), cheese boards, sides, and snacks served in the Lowes Foods Fan Zone at Carter-Finley.

Oh, and you also get a parking spot fit for a champ — the package includes a parking pass at the Fan Zone.

To enter, provide your tailgate choices and contact info via this giveaway entry form and Lowes Foods will randomly pull one winner for every home game.

Pro tip: Once you’re in the stadium, stop by the Lowes Foods Beer Den in Raleighwood for local craft beer.

🏈 At home

Planning your own at-home tailgate? Lowes Foods has you covered, with options that make tailgate prep easy:

  • Pick & Prep: Let Lowes Foods do the slicing and dicing for you — and discover the wonder of throwing together sides, trays, and burger toppings in no time.
  • Beer Den: Grab a six pack or growler of local craft beer (and start doing a hoppy end zone dance).
  • Food trays: From sandwiches to appetizers to desserts, Lowes Foods has freshly prepared party trays and platters that you can order online + pickup in-store.
