Stadium Gets Covered In Smoke After Food Truck Catches Fire During NC State-Wake Forest Game

“Big Brother” and the NFL took me away from seeing this live … I’m gutted!

NC State and Wake Forest played one another Thursday night in an ACC showdown, and at one point in the game, Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium ended up covered in smoke. And courtesy of ESPN announcer Matt Barrie, we later found out why: A food truck outside of the stadium caught on fire.

“You see the smoke here at Allegacy Stadium—there’s actually a food truck behind the stadium,” said Barrie while the camera was showing Choc’s Barbeque Co. and Southern Catering. “Right here you see the flames on it that’s causing the smoke and the fire. That man’s got a fire extinguisher.” (RELATED: Texas A&M Unveils Incredibly Crisp Uniforms They’re Wearing For Powerhouse Matchup Against Notre Dame)

When the smoke started appearing, the Demon Deacons had a 14-0 lead, however, the Wolfpack scored on the drive that was taking place in the video. NC State went on to tie the game, 14-14.

The Wolfpack won the contest, 34-24.

This is exactly what you would expect in a Thursday night ACC game, just classic behavior, and you gotta love it. Seriously, what is college football without all the corky moments?

It’s like the Dr. Pepper commercials, the sport is nothing without them.

Holy hell, those things are so legendary. Never stop doing them. Dr. Pepper. They’re just too iconic.

Ahh … I say it all the time, and I’ll say it again: Damn, I love college football.
