Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the future of the Dean Dome, including how Carolina alumni feel about the possibility of a new arena.
There has been no official move of the Dean E. Smith Center, but UNC is actively studying its future. The university is evaluating several options, including renovating the current arena, replacing it with a new one on campus, or building a completely new basketball arena at an off-campus site such as the Carolina North area. However, no final decision or timeline has been announced, and UNC basketball will continue playing in the Dean Dome for the foreseeable future. How do Carolina alumni feel about this? Should they build a new arena? What should they do with the Dean Dome?
