FC Series Brings July Jolt to Chapel Hill Businesses; Owners See Potential For More
Posted Jul 23, 2024

It’s why some of the biggest brands in international soccer popping in for an exhibition at Kenan Stadium is such a boon. The Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau estimates the economic impact from the game at $15 million.
