For the second time in three years the Tar Heels will be heading to a baseball stadium to play their bowl.
As first reported by Taylor Vippolis of Inside Carolina and confirmed by Brett McMurphy of the Action Network, the Tar Heels will be heading to legendary Fenway Park to play the Connecticut Huskies in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl. The game will take place on December 28th at 11:00 AM on ESPN.
This will be the third time that the Tar Heels have met Connecticut on the football field with the Tar Heels having won all three of the previous matchups. The first two victories came in 1990 and 2008 in Chapel Hill before the team traveled up to East Hartford to beat the Huskies in a defensive stalemate, 12-10.
This will be the program’s first-ever trip to the Northeast for a bowl game, meaning there is a good chance that this will be the coldest bowl game that the team has ever played in.
The Tar Heels are looking to break a four-game losing streak in bowl games since the Military Bowl win over Temple back in 2019. The program holds a 15-23 record in the 38 bowl games they have played in.
With Mack Brown having been officially let go after the regular season finale loss to NC State, interim coach Freddie Kitchens will lead the team in this game.
