Misc Info:

* The 1983 season saw another first in the stadium – a game played under artificial lights. The North Carolina-Duke game was played in the late afternoon so it could be televised throughout the Atlantic Coast Conference area. Portable lights were brought in since the second half was played after sunset.

* The 1991 season opener versus Cincinnati and the Clemson game, which was televised nationally by ESPN, were the first true night games ever played at Kenan Memorial Stadium

*While tickets are not nearly as hard to find as those for the basketball team, the Tar Heels sold out every game from 1992 to 1999, and have sold out every game since Butch Davis’ arrival in 2007.
