Art’s Angle: Happy Birthday, Dean Dome
Posted Jan 15, 2016

State’s visit to Chapel Hill on Saturday marks the 30th birthday of the Dean Smith Center, which opened on the third Saturday in January, 1986, against Duke in what felt like an NCAA Tournament game. Both teams were undefeated – UNC 17-0 and ranked No. 1, Duke 16-0 and No. 3 – and playing on the court for the first time.
