Carolina Athletics Adds Tar Heel Patios Premium Area To Kenan Stadium
August 27, 2024 | Football
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Adding a new and unique football game day experience tailored to groups of 14 fans, Carolina Athletics is joining a handful of schools around the country in partnering with RevelXP to offer Tar Heel Patios, two new outdoor premium seating areas in Section 131 in Kenan Stadium.
The Tar Heel Patios, which are still under construction, will offer 14 tickets, five parking passes, food and beverage service, comfortable seating, a television and an incredible view of the game to cheer on the Tar Heels.
"The demand for premium seating and innovative in-stadium hospitality is on the rise, and we wanted to introduce new seating experiences for our Carolina fans,'' said Rick Steinbacher, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Capital Projects and Facilities. "In 2017, we experimented with chair backs, installing them in two sections of Kenan Stadium. They were ultimately so successful that we expanded the seat backs throughout the stadium – and we hope to have similar success and expansion in premium seating options, as well."
The Tar Heel Patios are one of several new additions coming Carolina Football Game Day in 2024, including the Bell Tower Block Party, a new pre-game experience for home football games this fall, highlighted by food trucks, a big screen tv, The Ram Pen presented by UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, and the Kickoff Club presented by Modelo.
Packages for the Tar Heel Patios start at $6,000 per game can be purchased by contacting the UNC Athletic Ticket Office at tickets@unc.edu or 919-962-2296.
Carolina opens its home Football season on Sept. 7 against UNC Charlotte.
