The Dean E. Smith Center will show off its most significant lighting enhancements since the arena opened in 1986 when the Tar Heels celebrate the start of the new season Friday (October 13) at "Live Action! with Carolina Basketball."
Brand new game lights, spotlights, laser projection units and additional technological improvements will provide fans and players in the arena a better look at the game and greater engagement and those watching on television/streaming a higher quality viewing experience.
The game lights, which include 88 TLC LED lights installed by Musco, offer more even coverage across Roy Williams Court and more detailed color accuracy.
