19 2002 Carolina Women’s Lacrosse HENRY STADIUM

Frances E. Henry Stadium — Home of the Tar Heels

In April of 1999, the Carolina women’s lacrosse team moved into its new home, Francis E. Henry Stadium, a facility that is first-class in every way. Inside the Tar Heels’spacious locker room, each player has her own full-length locker, with ample storage space and a plaque bearing her name and number. Next door is a film and meeting room with leather couches, a big-screen television, computer lab and a small kitchen. The coaches’locker room provides another place for reviewing strategy before and after games. The build- ing’s entranceway houses a sizeable trophy case, which houses the Tar Heels’two NCAAFinal Four trophies and provides space for those trophies yet to be won. The 12,000-square-foot facility could not have been built with- out contributions from hundreds of Tar Heel supporters. Their generosity is celebrated all around the stadium, from the engraved bricks out front to plaques on the seats in the stands. Inside, signs recognize more donors who helped make the building possible.

“The completion of Henry Stadium is an historic event for Carolina athletics and for women’s athletics here in particular. This facility ranks among the finest in the country, and it cer - tainly indicates how serious Carolina is about giving its wom - ens’ programs the best chance to succeed. Not only is it an athletic facility, but the team meeting room has four new com - puters and is used in conjunction with the academic center as a place for our student-athletes to get their work done.” — Head Coach Jenny Slingluff Levy

23 2002 Carolina Women’s Lacrosse

One of the most famed venues in all of collegiate lacrosse history, Robert Allison Fetzer Field on the University of North Carolina campus has been home to Carolina’s men’s lacrosse program since its inception in 1949. Together with Frances E. Henry Stadium, Fetzer Field also has served as the home field of the Carolina women’s lacrosse team since 1996. Over half a century after hosting its first college lacrosse game, Fetzer Field now provides the Tar Heel men’s and women’s lacrosse teams with one of the most imposing home field advantages in all of college lacrosse. Fetzer Field has served as the home venue for a quartet of national championship teams in men’s lacrosse — in 1981, 1982, 1986, 1991 — as well as 11 teams that have won Atlantic Coast Conference men’s lacrosse championships. Fetzer has also served as home to a pair of women’s lacrosse NCAA Final Four teams — the 1997 and ‘98 Tar Heel squads that reached the national semifinals in just the second and third years of the program’s existence. Located in the heart of the Carolina campus, directly south of Carmichael Auditorium, Fetzer Field is accessible off of South Road by way of Carmichael Drive. Fetzer Field was originally completed in 1935 as a Works Projects Administration program. In addition to men’s and women’s lacrosse, the facility serves as the home of the Carolina men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s outdoor track and field and women’s out- door track and field squads.

“We can sell the whole package here — a great year-round climate, an excellent academic environ - ment, athletic tradition — but also a great social life. “Let’s face it, UNC has everything for an under - graduate.

The campus is beautiful, the academic repu - tation is great and athletics top-to-bottom are tremen - dous.” In labeling Chapel Hill America’s finest college town, — Anson Dorrance, head coach of UNC’s 17-time Sports Illustrated said it is “the national champion women’s purest example we could find soccer team of a college town that is defined by a university — and Photos by Dan Sears a good university.”
