450 miles of Family: North Carolina’s Ohio ties run deep

The theme of “family” radiates throughout the University of North Carolina’s campus in Chapel Hill. Tar Heel fans have embraced that feeling and it can be felt just about everywhere you go — walking down Franklin Street, grabbing food at your favorite restaurant, shopping at the local grocery store, or seeing parents with their children decked out in Carolina blue heading to the Dean Dome for a game.

While the atmosphere in the Dean Dome and around Chapel Hill is arguably one of the best in all of college sports, there are also large numbers of Carolina fans found everywhere the team goes on the road.
