One of the most storied venues in college basketball, the Dean Smith Center (or the 'Dean Dome' as…read moreit's affectionately known) is a modern-day cathedral to the sport, where Tar Heel legends like Kenny Smith, Vince Carter, Jerry Stackhouse and Tyler Hansbrough held court. The rafters are home to a collection of jerseys that could make up the roster for an NBA Legends team, featuring names like Jordan, Worthy, Perkins and Jamison, along with the coach for whom the building is named -- the legendary Dean E. Smith. With a capacity of nearly 22,000, it's one of the largest venues in college hoops, and there's rarely an empty seat in the house when the Heels are playing. The energy here is indescribable -- from the electric pregame festivities to the halftime show, it's one of the best experiences in all of college sports. In 2025, the University of North Carolina began discussions about replacing the 40-year old Dean Dome with a new arena, either elsewhere on campus or at Carolina North, a planned satellite campus a few miles north in Chapel Hill. But while the Dome's aging roof and narrow concourses support a credible argument for a replacement, it's hard to imagine the UNC campus without it. Here's hoping the UNC Board of Trustees sees the wisdom of renovating this wonderful arena to ensure it's continued role in college basketball lore. The Dean Smith Center is an experience no fan of the game should miss!

I came here for an FSU-Duke game and the stadium isn't huge but it was renovated fairly recently…read moreand has some nice amenities. Most of the seats are individual seats as opposed to backless metal bleachers. They have lots of concession stands and while I'm not a Duke fan it was pretty cool they had an area where Duke fans could ring the victory bell to celebrate their win over UNC. They also have a ton of restrooms so there's not much of a wait. The stadium is mostly outside so it works well on a clear day but I imagine it could be a mess in a heavy rain. I didn't sit there but for an extra charge you can sit on the party deck where I think you get some free food and a cash bar and a side of an awful DJ. Be prepared to wait for an Uber after the game. There's not really a designated place as far as I could tell so we just walked a ways away on campus and ordered from there. They should think about fixing that. The stadium works for what is, a smaller ACC venue and I'd come back here if FSU plays here again sometime.

As a huge fan of Bull Durham, I probably built this stop up in my mind more than I should have…read more There's definitely something special about standing in a place connected to such an iconic baseball movie, and longtime fans will appreciate seeing a piece of baseball and film history firsthand. That said, the experience is fairly modest and doesn't take long to see. The facility feels more focused on serving local baseball than catering to tourists, and while you can still picture scenes from the film, visitors expecting a polished attraction may come away a bit underwhelmed. In a funny way, maybe that's part of the authenticity. The worn-down feel and lack of frills almost provide an honest glimpse into what minor league baseball was like for generations of players....long on character, short on luxury. While that perspective gave me something to appreciate, it wasn't enough to make the visit a destination in itself. For fellow Bull Durham fans, it's worth a quick stop if you're already nearby, but I wouldn't dedicate a significant portion of your trip to it. If you're attending a game or actually getting the chance to step onto the field, I suspect the experience would be considerably more memorable.

Restrooms were under the bleachers.

Whether you're a Tar Heel fan or just love basketball, this compelling tribute to one of the…read moresport's most iconic teams is definitely worth a visit if you have some time to spare in Chapel Hill. The free exhibit starts with an brief but inspiring theater presentation in which current and past UNC players explain what it means to be a Tar Heel. You then move into a large hall filled with display cases of Carolina basketball mementos, from jerseys to signed team basketballs. Don't miss the marks on the floor, showing how far some of the team's most iconic shots were taken from the hoop. There are displays dedicated to Dean Smith, Roy Williams and, of course, the GOAT. Michael Jordan isn't nearly as prominent a presence in the museum as you would expect, but you can still see his signed 1981 Letter of Intent, his travel bag and a couple other historic items. His jerseys, however, are strangely absent, indicating the lack of connection the Wilmington phenom has had with the University since being drafted by the Bulls in 1984. The last hall in the exhibit contains the dizzying collection of awards won by Carolina over the decades, including their six NCAA Championship and 18 ACC Conference trophies. If you didn't walk in as a Tar Heel fan, you'll probably be one by the time you leave. A visit takes about an hour, and you can wander in and out of each exhibit room at your leisure. It can be tough to find parking nearby (especially on game days), but the location (next to the Dean Dome) is a short, downhill walk from the center of campus. The Carolina Basketball Museum is a MUST for every UNC student, and anyone who loves college basketball.

Centrally located on UNC's incomparable Chapel Hill campus, Kenan Memorial Stadium is a perfectly…read moresized, 50,000-seat facility with terrific sight lines, airy concourses and an intimate vibe. Seats in the lower bowl are comfortable (if a bit tight), and provide great views of the field. I was surprised at the small size of the student section in the west endzone, but even after Bill Belichick's arrival, Carolina is still first and foremost a basketball school. Food options are better than I would've expected at a college football stadium, from Carolina BBQ and nachos to Chick-fil-A and Merritt's (IYKYK), but the beer selection could use some improvement. There are a handful of local options (Sky Blue Kolsch is the most widely available Carolina craft), but Modelo and Budweiser are the dominant choices. Parking on game days can be tough unless you're a Rams Club member, so buy a pass early if you want a spot on-campus or score one on Franklin St. But a walk through the gorgeous Carolina campus is always a good choice, especially on a crisp fall day during football season. So get to campus early, stop by the Old Well for a photo, and take the game day experience in the Lower Quad. Then follow the crowds into Kenan and get ready to cheer on the Heels!
