Not sure if it could be foreseen though. NC State is asking the arena to reserve approximately 5.5 dates for every 1 date that they would actually use. Don't have the experience in running a professional multipurpose sports venue but that seems excessive in my mind in terms of fair use.
An analogy would be for the Lakers to reserve 205 nights for the Staples Center next year for their 41 home games and then have the Kings, concerts and other events try to work out a schedule around that.
Also slightly disturbing is that Hurricanes negotiated a lease and operating agreement where they absorb operating deficiencies but don't have priority in dates.
