Steve Rao Morrisville Town Councilman

Leaders at UNC-Chapel Hill aspire to put the school “on the global map” with the development of a new stadium to host cricket, rugby and soccer games ahead of the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, according to a proposal for the Carolina North campus. The UNC Board of Trustees discussed plans on Wednesday afternoon for the “NC Colosseum,” a proposed stadium that would be constructed less than two miles from the main campus. Steve Rao, a Morrisville Town Councilman who helped put Major League Cricket matches on in Wake County last year, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the potential for the stadium in Chapel Hill.
