The address for the Parking deck is
THE FEDEX GLOBAL EDUCATION CENTER

Chapel Hill, NC 27516
Location: Corner of McCauley and Pittsboro Streets
Phone: +1 (919) 962-2435
Getting to Parking Lot
1. would plan on one hour and 25 minutes to get to Parking. I did find some notes I made and it took us One Hour and 7 minutes from Asheboro High School (9:15 am), to Siler City (9:40), #15-501 (9:59), Allen and Son BBQ (10:04),Global Parking lot (10:22)
Details:
2a.Come down from Asheboro on 64 to 15-501 around Pittsboro, turn left on 15-501
2b.Continue on until close to Chapel Hill when you turn left onto NC86/ South Columbia Street, You will be off of 15-501 now.
3.Continue up NC86/ South Columbia Street past hospital (Columbia Street by then is one way the way you are going). You reach McCauley Street on left at a triangle intersection (with fraternity house on left and old Naval Armory near on right). (McCauley is South Road coming from the right, ie name changes here)
4.Turn left on McCauley. (Columbia is one way by then and that is why you cannot go back down it after game.)
5.Soon (100 feet) turn left into the drive to the underground parking deck which is then on right at back of GLOBAL EDUCATION CENTER Building which is just before the intersection at corner of Pittsboro (no street sign visible) and McCauley Street, As you turn off McCauley you will notice the Carolina Inn construction on right
6.Give the stub from bottom of Parking pass to attendant. Put Parking Pass on rear view mirror while parked. I often find less crowded if go down to a level below the one you come in. There are stairs and elevator back up.
7.After game you will go back to your car, drive out of driveway and turn left on McCauley and quick make a left turn on next street which is one way Pittsboro Street (no street sign) and continue on down until the road merges with the way you came in on NC NC86, then to 15-501 and back to Asheboro

8a.Walk down the Hill on McCauley Street from the parking deck past fraternity house on right, cross over the triangle intersection, continue walking (Street now is called South Road) toward the Bell tower which will be on the right.
8b At the Bell Tower you can climb up it, maybe 400 steps. A little hard but I can still do it so I bet you can. Have to sign a release form and they put a Pass around your neck which you will return when through. Might be a short line. Around the area near the Bell Tower will be several UNC related tents and even the Ram Mascot for a picture if line not too long. Figure on 30 minutes at least around here.
9a. To now get to your seats, walk toward Stadium and you should see Gate 3 but your gate is Gate 6 which is 1/4 around stadium to your right. You will go through some wooded area and down some steep steps, by the entrance on your left is the Football Center and Museum (closed), then by the 9 foot statue of Charley Choo Choo Justice who was the best UNC football player ever and played there when your Dad was at UNC. The statue is done by a man from ASHEBORO so you might want to spend a minute or two looking at it and doing pictures and reading the signs. You continue on to the right around the stadium (past a student gate on the left) up a steep hill (sorry) and on until you get to Gate 6 (South Side) on your left
9b. They will have a line to check bags if you have one, If you do not can still go through that line if shorter or want to stay together.
10. When inside, look to see two big concrete shafts on the right and left near middle of the back of stadium - that is where the elevators are.

. Go toward the one on right (blue circle in picture). It will be behind a concession stand. Few people know where it is but you are trying to get on the Mezzanine Elevator.
11.Show you ticket to the nice young man at the elevator and then again when you get to the 3rd floor Mezzanine. When you get off elevator on 3rd floor turn left (bathrooms are to right) and our section G will be on the right. They will punch your ticket when you get off elevator.
12.Food will be on several tables so make your self at home. Your seats are on Row B seats 8 7 6 5 in Section G (Might want to visit a bathroom before getting food and going to seats if you want though will be easy any time to get to them). Linda and I will be on Row A in front of you.
these are your seats Blue Circle

Walk to Kenan: (If NOT stopping at Bell Tower)
8.Walk down McCauley Street from the parking deck, cross over the triangle intersection, continue walking toward the Bell tower. Just before Bell Tower Bush/Grass area there will be a road to the right down a hill toward the stadium. You might see the big statue of the Ram and the one of Choo Choo Justice at bottom of hill nearby.
9.At bottom of hill bear right a little up a hill (past a student gate on the left) and keep going until you get to Gate 6 (South Side) on your left . Enter stadium. They will have a line to check bags if you have one, If you do not can still go through that line if shorter or want to stay together.
10. When inside, bear to the right behind the food concession stand and look for the elevator in that general area. Most folks will not know where it is if you ask them but keep searching. Before you get on elevator they will doublecheck your ticket. Ride elevator and if they ask, say third floor or Mezzanine.
11. When leaving elevator on 3rd floor, turn left. (Bathrooms are to right). They will punch your ticket.
12.Our Sec G is on right before long, food will be on tables.
After Game:
To Go home without going Down Town
13. If you do not go downtown, just go out of the seating area . . .as follows
.The elevator stops running to the public 5 minutes before end of the game as some UNC Coaches need to use. It starts up again maybe 5 minutes after game. You can ride if you want but it is easier and faster to walk down the steps. If you walk, when you leave your seats turn right (opposite way you came in) and go until you see steps going down. Then go out the closest gate to the right (which is the Student gate and not the one you came in) and retrace your steps to the Parking lot.. When in Parking Lot drive out of driveway and turn left on McCauley and soon make a quick left turn on Pittsboro Street (no street sign) and continue on down until the road merges with the way you came on NC 86/501/15, then back home

Walk in general toward the left of the Bell Tower but any walkway will head you downtown.
14b.Keep walking through campus until you get to Franklin Street and you will see the University Methodist Church and that is on the main street of Franklin. We like the Carolina Coffee Shop as a place to eat and it is near there. There are other restaurants around.Some shops will be open.
14c. When ready to go to car go to and turn left and walk on Columbia Street and eventually you will go by the Carolina Inn and on down to McCauley and back to your parking. Hard to tell all this but take a look at the map and it will help.
