The NC State-Virginia football opener is no longer headed to Brazil. Following "extensive review with operational partners and international stakeholders"—who ultimately decided "the event could not be conducted," per a statement from NC State Football—the game will be relocated to Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Fans who bought tickets or travel packages will be refunded, while the ACC, NC State and Virginia are working with the NCAA and ESPN to confirm the game can still be played Saturday, Aug. 29.
