North Carolina athletic department officials are evaluating a plan to replace bleacher seating at Kenan Stadium with 34,000 seats with chair backs, a move that would reduce the stadium’s capacity by around 15 percent, university athletic director Bubba Cunningham said earlier this week.
If the plan goes through, and Cunningham indicated that chances are high that it will, then the upper and lower levels of the sideline sections at Kenan Stadium would feature nothing but blue chair back seats. UNC installed such seats in two lower-level sections before this season.
“And that’s been overwhelmingly popular,” Cunningham said.
