UNC Moves Forward With Kenan Football Stadium Expansion Plans

UNC Trustees Approve Design For
First Phase Of Kenan Stadium Expansion 
The Univ. of North Carolina (UNC) Board of Trustees Wednesday "approved the design for a first phase of plans to substantially expand" UNC's Kenan Stadium, according to Samuel Spies of the Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER. The design will "add two floors to the Kenan Football Center complex on the west end of the field -- one floor of team and recruiting space and one of luxury suites." UNC AD Dick Baddour said that a "large video scoreboard is also in the works but it's not clear exactly where it will go." Officials "plan to start the first phase" at the end of the '08 season and finish it before the '09 season begins. Other phases of the project -- which need trustees approval to begin -- "will fill in the bowl's east end, add another video screen, and build an academic support center for athletes." Baddour told the Board of Trustees the "cost of the expansion was $22[M]." But after the meeting UNC Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities Planning Bruce Runberg "explained that number was an estimate for construction only," and he said that the "total budget for the first phase is $50[M]" (Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER, 7/24).
