McCaskill Soccer Center The state-of-the-art McCaskill Soccer Center on the University of North Carolina campus was dedicated on the morning of Sunday, April 11, 1999. “I really think this completes our wonderful facility here,” head coach said at the dedication. “We’ve had a great stadium, and now we’ve got a great facility to go along with it. This will benefit the program in the years to come.” The facility quickly paid dividends, including the 2001 NCAA title. UNC was ranked No. 1 in the nation for much of the season in 2001 and went 12-0 at Fetzer Field that season for the best home record in school history. Fetzer hosted three NCAA tournament games in 2000, 2001 and 2005 and one each in 2002-04 and 2006. The 6,600-square-foot McCaskill Soccer Center, named after Norman and Carol McCaskill, is located adjacent to Fetzer Field on the UNC campus. “I think this building is a reflection of how much our alumni care about soccer at North Carolina,” UNC women’s soccer coach Anson Dorrance said. “We have a rabid following, and I think our fans will love this building.” The facility is a two-story structure, which houses locker rooms for the varsity men’s and women’s soccer teams as well as a team meeting room on the first floor. The second floor houses offices for both sports as well as a large confer- ence room which can be used by all of the Tar Heels’ Olympic sports teams. The building was designed by NBBJ Architects of Research Triangle Park and McCaskill Soccer Center gives former Tar Heels a great was constructed by Resolute Building Company of Chapel Hill.
