Naturally, the venue has received several renovations and gone through multiple expansions in its history, more than doubling in size. Today, football games at Kenan Memorial Stadium have a capacity of 50,500 fans.

The best seats for a football game at Kenen Memorial Stadium are in sections 105-107 and 124-126. Just keep in mind there are over 50 rows in these sections.

The venue is located in the middle of the UNC campus, meaning it’s close to the bars, restaurants, and shops on the famous Franklin Street. Chapel Hill also offers other landmarks, including the North Carolina Botanical Gardens, Morehead Planetarium, and Coker Arboretum.
