Brian Davis grew up in the Midwest and ran track at Iowa State before launching a career as an academic advisor in college athletic departments. He landed a job in 1984 with the Carolina football program and motored into Chapel Hill one day in August looking for Kenan Stadium and the football fieldhouse.
"I drove around for half an hour and couldn't find a football stadium," Davis says. "I found a gas station at the bottom of Hwy. 54 and they told me where to go. I grew up in the flatlands where you see stadiums rise out of the ground and you can see them a mile away.
