GoHeels Exclusive: Bronze's Return To The Hill

By Pat James, GoHeels.com

Standing on the former site of historic Fetzer Field, Lucy Bronze hardly recognized her surroundings as she glanced around the new UNC Soccer & Lacrosse Stadium on Wednesday.

Gone is the track that wrapped around the field that the former North Carolina women's soccer standout once played on. Also missing are the aluminum bleachers that fans once filled, now replaced by 4,200 individual Carolina Blue chair back seats.

Those changes, among others, continue to impress everyone who visits the five-month-old facility. But they aren't the only ones that have occurred since Bronze left Chapel Hill after helping the Tar Heels to their 21st national championship as a freshman in 2009.
