Football Will “Practice Like A Pro” On April 12

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Fans will get the opportunity to watch the North Carolina football program "Practice Like a Pro" under new head coach Bill Belichick Saturday, April 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Kenan Stadium.

Gates will open for the free open practice at 5:30 p.m.

The event, presented by Wegmans, will be run similarly to open practices the New England Patriots held when Belichick coached that NFL team to six Super Bowls. It will feature multiple periods of action, with an in-stadium emcee providing details on what will happen in each period. UNC's spring roster boasts 32 newcomers, including 18 transfers and 14 freshmen.

Following practice, players will be available for a brief autograph session; fans are invited to come to the field level wall to meet the 2025 Tar Heels as they exit the field. The event will also feature Kenan Stadium's new grass field. The footprint, which was converted over the last few months, also features a synthetic turf perimeter and mirrors the look of Kenan Stadium's natural grass field from 2017-19.

Numerous concession stands will be open on the concourse, in addition to a beer garden on the terrace in the southeast corner of the Blue Zone.

April 12 will be a busy day on campus, as multiple UNC athletics programs host home events, including baseball, softball, men's golf and men's and women's tennis.

Carolina officially kicks off the 2025 season on Monday, Sept. 1, against TCU at 7:30 p.m. at Kenan Stadium. The Tar Heels' schedule features six home games and six away contests, with three of those road matchups in-state.
