Kenan Memorial Stadium

Carolina football plays its home games at Kenan Memorial Stadium (cap. 60,000), one of the most picturesque athletic venues in America. Kenan Stadium has been the home of the Tar Heels since 1927 and the thrill of playing in or attending a game there is as exhilarating now as it was when it was first constructed.

The stadium’s beauty, charm and simple elegance have not been diminished with the expansion project that added nearly 8,000 seats, a state-of-the-art football facility, chancellor’s box and preferred seating box. The renovation and expansion project was financed through a combination of private contributions through the Educational Foundation and bonded indebtedness from the athletic department through the sale of revenue-generating bonds. The Educational Foundation and its members have committed more than $50 million to the project.

The most recent addition to Kenan Stadium is a $2 million scoreboard at the east end of the stadium that was financed through an agreement with Learfield Communications, UNC’s multi-media rights holder. The $2- million-figure includes the cost of the video board, installation and a new public address system. Over 40 new speakers have been added throughout Kenan Stadium.
