2 reviews for The Carolina Basketball Museum
When I first heard that a Basketball Museum was opening near the dean dome and that it was free, I thought, you can't be serious. You see, we are trained to think that anything that is free probably isn't that good. Wrong wrong wrong! I went one of the first days it opened and was delighted to see a very friendly old man working in the opening room, with the opening movie before you enter the museum. (poor guy, he could probably recite that video in his sleep) After finishing the spectacular video, you can enter the museum. There are all sorts of cool artifacts here, including my favorite: A letter from Coach K to Michael Jordan regretting to hear that he will not be attending Duke.
The next two rooms are more special, as they hold ACC titles and such, and the last room, which holds the National Title trophies. I gotta make it back to see that fifth one!
If you are a prospective student or a half-hearted fan, come to the museum and you will be converted into a Tar Heel. There's no way you can't enjoy reveling in the wonders of one of the greatest basketball programs to ever exist.
And hey... you may even get to meet Dean Smith! (see my pictures)
The Carolina Basketball Museum is a brand new facility celebrating the tradition of the University of North Carolina's Basketball team.
This museum was built right next to the Dean Smith Center where Carolina plays all of its home games. Still new, there is a great deal of room to expand. So far the museum has been directed at memorializing the great achievements, traditions, and players to players of Carolina.
The building is open daily and has extended hours on game days. There is much to explore and more to come I'm sure.
