North Carolina Football • Kenan Stadium - Home of the Tar Heels

Stadium. The football center is named in honor of the late Frank H. Kenan, one of the school’s most generous benefactors. Kenan was a Durham resident and chief executive officer of Kenan Transport Company in Chapel Hill. He passed away at age 83 in 1996. Kenan, a 1935 Carolina graduate, was the great-great- grandson of General James Kenan, a member of the University’s founding board of trustees. An Atlanta native, Kenan had a tremendous impact on the growth of the University. He served on many campus boards, including the Board of Visitors and the Educational Foundation Board of Directors. In recent years the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust, of which he was a trustee, has Carolina football plays its home games at Kenan by a special gift by the former executive producer donated more than $100 mil- Memorial Stadium (cap. 60,000), one of the most of the Tar Heel Sports Network and president of lion to schools in the state’s consolidated university picturesque athletic venues in America.
