...Of which I am not one. Quite the opposite, actually. But I can see when something has been done well - and if I did root for the Tar Heels this place would be worthy of at least 2 hours.

This is a really comprehensive and interesting museum, and it is amazing how much they have in there. There are great old videos and momentos, and to stand and look at all of the ACC, NCAA championship trophies is pretty remarkable. It is a must for any basketball fan, whether or not you are a UNC fan.

Extensive tour of locker rooms and meeting facilities. Sinking a shot on the floor of the Dean Dome was a life time experience. Tour of the extensvie displays in the museum was a fitting and very moving finale.

A must visit for any Tar Heels fan. You could spend hours in here just checking everything out. Wonderful memories of past Tar Heel greats.

If you have ever enjoyed March Madness, especially the matches the UNC Tar Heels were in, this is your type of museum. There are videos of Tar Heel games to play on demand, sections of floors from National Championship Wins, sneakers, jerseys, letters, trophies, rings, and things from the greats including Jordan, Perkins, Worthy, Stackhouse, Wallace, etc, etc, etc. My...
