Ken Tysiac over at ACC Now is reporting that UNC will go on the road to Asheville next year to open UNC-A’s new basketball arena.
Kimmel Arena will open in 2011 and will seat 3,200 for basketball. Personally, I think this is pretty neat. How many big-time schools would play a game like this on the road? Dean Smith used to have a policy of not playing in-state Division I schools, but Matt Doherty did away with that and Roy Williams has continued to play the locals, even away from Chapel Hill.
