New Kenan is a project currently underway to improve the facility of Kenan Memorial Stadium. It will modernize and expand the stadium through various projects. In fact the entire process is incorporated into many phases, with each being completed when the necessary funds are raised by the Rams Club. A more modern Kenan Stadium would bring in more money and increase the opportunities for nationally broadcasted events, sending the message of Carolina dominance into more and more households across the globe. Carolina Athletics have exposure to multiple media outlets and sponsorships with many transnational corporations and products.
According to newkenan.com the first phase was completed in August 2009. Phase 1 included the addition and remodeling to the team spaces in the Kenan Football Center. In particular this affected the Recruiting and media offices, transforming them into world class workplaces for the staff of Carolina football. Phase 2 is currently underway and can be seen with the construction crews around Kenan Stadium. This phase brings a completely new and state of the art Carolina Student-Athlete Center for Excellence which includes lounges, academic support, and a world class weight room for use by all Carolina Student Athletes, not just the football team. Phase 2 also includes the Blue Zone (See Video). The Blue Zone will enclose the East End Zone and incorporate Premium seating into Kenan Stadium. Field Level suites are one of the main draws of these new seats. Future phases have not been planned but a complete renovation of Kenan Stadium is planned, including the North and South sides. Stadium exterior design is also on the list to be completed to better interact with the landscaping and reforestation of Kenan Woods. Energy efficient restrooms and concessions along with more convenient concourses are also points of emphasis. With all these changes coming, fans of Carolina Football should be excited to experience a more vibrant atmosphere. Modern facilities will not only help inspire your Carolina Pride, it will help Coach Davis recruit world class athletes and bring Carolina football to National Prominence. Go Heels
