Kenan Memorial Stadium - Recent Expansions

Recent Expansions

In December 2006, the Chapel Hill Town Council approved changes to UNC's development plan that included at least 8,800 additional seats for Kenan Stadium.

In October 2007, athletic director Dick Baddour announced plans for extensive renovations to Kenan Stadium. Plans call for a new academic support center in place of Kenan Field House, plus anywhere from 5,000-15,000 additional seats. The new seats will be added in the east end zone, turning the stadium into a bowl.

No specific timetable has been set, but Baddour said that he hopes to begin construction within 18 months.
