Carmichael Arena The North Carolina faithful long have referred to Carmichael Arena as Blue Heaven and the name certainly fits. Located among the tall pine trees at the heart of the North Carolina campus, Carmichael has been home to the gymnastics program since it reached NCAA status in 1982. Carolina recently completed a multi-million dollar facelift of Carmichael Arena, which has made it one of the top Olympic sports gymnasiums in the country. The arena is named for the late William D. Carmichael Jr., a highly popu- lar figure on campus who served as the university's comptroller, then as its vice-president. Prior to the 1976-77 season, 1,200 seats were added to bring historic Carmichael to its present capacity of 8,010. The gymnastics office is housed in Carmichael, steps from the competition floor. The facility also serves as home to the women's bas- ketball, volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as housing offices for many other coaches in UNC's highly-successful Olympic Sports programs. The Carolina men's basketball program called Carmichael home from 1965 until its move to the Dean E. Smith Center midway through the 1985-86 season. Under coach Dean Smith, the Tar Heels compiled a home record of 169-20 at Carmichael. Page 2
