The rock at The Rock is a metamorphic rock that is part of the Grandfather Mountain Formation. It is from the Neoproterozoic and is approximately 750 million years old. As old as that sounds, the rocks Kidd Brewer Stadium is built on are even older – the Cranberry Formation in Boone is Mesoproterozoic and over 1 billion years old, making it one of the oldest rocks in North Carolina!
