Voice of the Pack

By Chad Austin

Ed Funkhouser really knows how to work a crowd.

He does so every Saturday in the fall when NC State plays a home football game at Carter-Finley Stadium.

On game days, Funkhouser, the stadium’s public address announcer, can get nearly 60,000 Wolfpack fans to yell “first down” in unison by simply inflecting his voice, measuring his tone and pacing his delivery.
