With no fans, why don't the Tar Heels and Wolfpack go play basketball at their retro arenas?

Posted Dec 24, 2020
Did you know that during the Tar Heels’ tenure at Carmichael Arena, they only lost 20 games there? That’s it. Between 1965 and 1986, North Carolina went 169-20 at their home arena. The only head coach during that entire time was Dean Smith. Michael Jordan played all of his college home games there. It was small by today’s standards but also stupid loud.
