NCAA: Boshamer News

By Doug Kroll - August 13, 2007


If you've been waiting to find out how North Carolina was going to have the new Boshamer Stadium ready in time for the 2008 season like I have been, well, it's not going to happen. The Tar Heels will play their home games at the state-of-the-art Team USA baseball facility in Cary, N.C.

Groundbreaking will take place for the new stadium on Sept. 1, and while UNC will be able to practice still on-campus, the games will be played about 22 miles down the road in Cary. It's where Team USA calls home during the summer months, and this is what the Town of Cary website has to say about the facility.

The Stadium Field has a press box that includes two suites, official scorer’s room, a sound room and press row. The Stadium has spectator seating for 1,754 people, including handicapped accessible seating, and additional grass seating for approximately 250 people is also available.

Not bad. It'll just be weird to see the Heels playing there at home. But just in case you didn't know, the new Boshamer is being put exactly where the old one used to be, and for those of you who have been there, that big hill it's built on could be a tough thing to figure out.

All I can say is that once the new Bosh is complete, that thing is going to be gorgeous.

The drive to Cary, won't be that great for Heels fans, but they don't get the best attendance in the world anyway. But still, a nuisance it will be, but one that has a great reward at the end.
