It is named after former UNC coach Dean Smith, who coached at UNC from 1961 to 1997. According to David Halberstam's biography of Michael Jordan, Smith did not want the arena named after him, but was persuaded by the UNC administration and the arena's backers that fundraising efforts for the facility could fail if they did not use his name.[1] Dean Edwards Smith (born February 28, 1931) is a retired head coach of men’s college basketball. ...

Capacity The arena originally seated 21,444. Seating adjustments brought capacity to 21,572 in 1992 and 21,750 in 2000, making it the fifth largest arena in college basketball. The largest crowd to see a game in the Dean Dome was on March 6, 2005, when 22,125 saw the Tar Heels defeat Duke.[2] Media:rofl. ...

Duke University is a private coeducational research university located in Durham, North Carolina, USA. The school, founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present-day town of Trinity in 1838, moved to Durham in 1892. ...
The arena was built to allow more fans to attend Tar Heel basketball games than could fit in then 21-year-old, 10,000-seat Carmichael Auditorium. The Tar Heels have been among the nation's attendance leaders ever since the arena opened. [3] Carmichael Auditorium is a 10,180-seat multi-purpose arena in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. ...
Seating Issues The arena's seating arrangement has been somewhat controversial. Most of the lower-level seats were allocated to members of UNC's athletic booster foundation, the Educational Foundation (better known as the Rams Club). Furthermore, most of those seats are season tickets. While tickets are usually available for most non-conference games, all Atlantic Coast Conference games are sold out, and scalping is virtually the only way to get in. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is one of the oldest collegiate athletic leagues in the United States. ...
Ticket resale is reselling tickets to popular events. ...
In its early years, the arena was known as among the quieter ones in the country because many seats that would have been occupied by students at other schools were occupied by alumni who weren't very inclined to cheer. This led Florida State player Sam Cassell to say that the Dean Dome was home to a "wine and cheese crowd." In contrast, Carmichael was one of the loudest arenas in the country. The Florida State University (commonly referred to as Florida State or FSU) is a public research university located in Tallahassee, the capital city of Florida. ...
Samuel (Sam) James Cassell (born November 18, 1969 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American basketball point guard who currently plays for the NBAs Los Angeles Clippers. ...
Since 1992, however, expanded student seating and a younger alumni base has made the Smith Center louder. For example, after the then top-ranked Connecticut Huskies were defeated by Carolina at the Dean Dome in 2004, Huskies coach Jim Calhoun said, "I don't know what they are talking about because there was no 'wine and cheese' crowd here today." It has been suggested that Torrey Life Science be merged into this article or section. ...

Home Court Advantage
 Tipoff of UNC-Duke game at Smith Center The Tar Heels are one of the nation's most dominant home teams, rarely losing more than two home games in a season. For example, Clemson is the only ACC school that has never won at the Smith Center. In fact, Clemson has never won in Chapel Hill in 52 tries, dating well before the formation of the ACC in 1953.

As of the end of the 2005-06 season, UNC was 220-47 (.824) at the Smith Center — an average of 11.0 wins against 2.4 losses each season over 21 years. This average would be even lower were it not for the 2001-02 season, in which the Tar Heels finished with their first losing record since 1961-62--Smith's first season as coach. However, they have only finished undefeated at home three times--1986-87, 1992-93 and 2004-05.
Non-Basketball Uses The arena has also held many concerts and is used by many of the graduate and professional schools, such as the UNC School of Law, for commencement ceremonies each year, as well as the same for all undergraduates receiving degrees in December of each year. There is some controversy surrounding the continued support of the Dean Dome by the state government. Concerts and other events, as well as advertising arrangements such as a signage deal with Wachovia Bank also fund the stadium.
