WOLF PUP LOCATOR PROGRAM
At the beginning of each NC State home football game, parents/guardians can stop by the Fan Zone, a Wolf Assist
Tent location, Customer Service Booth or from a police officer inside the stadium and parking lots, and fill out a
Wolf Pup Locator wristband with important information that will be placed on the child’s wrist. If a child becomes
separated from their caregiver or group, that child can approach a police officer or Carter-Finley Stadium staff
member, who will communicate with event management that a lost child has been identified. The Wolf Pup
Locator wristband will be used by law enforcement or event management personnel to reunite the child with
their parent or guardian.
