Know Before You Go: Kenan Stadium 2024
September 4, 2024 | Football
The Tar Heel football home opener is just around the corner, and Carolina Athletics wants to make sure fans are prepared for their return to Kenan Stadium.
Check out the list below for updated game day experiences, procedures and stadium policies. More details and updates will be posted throughout the season on GoHeels.com.
North Carolina football fans will experience a colorful and modernized game day atmosphere when they cheer on the Tar Heels at Kenan Stadium this season. When fans gather at Kenan Stadium, they will see more than 196 game lights installed atop of the north and south sides of the stadium in 2023, along with 16 moving spotlights and customized logos, eight on each side of the stadium. As part of this project, the 172-foot-tall Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower also saw its existing halogen lighting fixtures replaced with 16-LED lights, allowing it to be lit after Tar Heel football victories, to honor national championship teams and during commencement.
Pregame Activities
The Bell Tower Walk is back! Greet the team as they follow the follow the Marching Tar Heels and cheerleaders from Bell Tower Drive to the steps of the Kenan Football Center. The Bell Tower Walk starts at the Bell Tower two and a half hours prior to kickoff.
New in 2024, the Bell Tower Block Party is a pregame fan experience at all home football games. Highlighted by the new Kickoff Club presented by Modelo and the Coca-Cola® Fan Zone, the Bell Tower Block Party will begin four hours before kickoff at every home game and will include a bevy of festivities surrounding Kenan Memorial Stadium on game day – including food trucks, games, The Ram Pen featuring Rameses, the traditional Bell Tower Walk by the football team and a host of other entertainment.
Cashless Transactions
Food and merchandise transactions will continue to be cashless. This limits the contact between guests and employees and improves the flow and speed of transactions to help reduce wait times. Accepted payment options include, but are not limited to, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Our vendors have invested in their point of sales systems and transaction times are expected to be much shorter this season!
