Heels at Home: New Ways to Cheer – and Support – During Football Season Opener
Although Carolina fans won't be able to cheer on the Tar Heels in person in Kenan Stadium in September (Read more here), there will be plenty of ways to cheer on the nationally ranked UNC football team – and enjoy enhanced fan experiences – from home.
Carolina is thrilled to welcome a limited number of fans (LINK) to Kenan Stadium for the October 10th football game versus Virginia Tech. We will implement numerous measures to make the game-day experience as healthy and safe as possible for fans, as well as student-athletes, coaches and staff.
