Kenan Stadium has been the home of the Tar Heels since 1927. In 1997, the doors opened on the $50 million Kenan Football Center, widely considered to be the best football facility in the nation.
The Hall of Honor, located on the ground floor, is a multi-media history of Carolina football. Photographs, awards, trophies and artifacts detailing the rich and storied history of the sport in Chapel Hill are on display. The 18 Carolina players who have been honored by placing their names and numbers on display in the stadium are also featured in the Hall of Honor. Special plaques, flags and an audio-visual presentation on each player are highlighted.
