Boshamer Stadium, Baseball stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
Boshamer Stadium is a baseball stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, home to the North Carolina Tar Heels. The field, named Bryson Field, has an asymmetrical shape with a fence that bulges inward in right center, and seating extends along both foul lines.
The stadium opened in 1972 and is named after Cary C. Boshamer, a textile industrialist whose donation funded its construction. After the 2007 season, it was almost completely demolished and rebuilt, reopening in 2009.
Fans often call the stadium "the Bosh", and the student seating area past the dugout on the first base line is nicknamed "The Bosh Pit". The entrance courtyard carries the Steinbrenner name, a nod to the family's support, and it is a common meeting point before games.
The stadium is on the university campus, and you can walk around the outside to see the entrance courtyard and the field through the gates. On game days, arrive early to find a spot, as the student section behind first base fills up quickly.
The stadium's name is pronounced "Boss-hammer" by the Boshamer family, even though many fans say "the Bosh". Also, the field's right-center fence has an inward bulge that gives the outfield its unusual shape.
