Thirty. One. Championships. It’s an absolutely staggering number, and it’s the number of national championship teams that Fetzer Field has seen since the first Tar Heel men’s soccer team played on it in 1947. Women’s soccer alone has won twenty-two, men’s lacrosse has won five, and men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse have each won two. These incredibly successful programs have a rich history on Fetzer, especially the former two.
The field itself is a wonderful ground to play; I’ve never seen a clump of grass fly into the air like I have at other college and even professional-level stadiums.
