Robert Allison Fetzer Hall is a multi-purpose sport venue on the campus of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States. The building hosts several sport courts. The Fetzer Gyms A and B are used for basketball, volleyball, badminton and team handball.^[1]

History

On April 12, 1976, the university's trustees approved the building plans for a new facility on the site of the Tin Can.^[2] It was also revealed they were debating on what to do with the Tin Can: either move it to the east end of Fetzer Field or build a new facility like the Tin Can in that same location.^[2] Prior to deciding on the future of the venue, the trustees wanted to see the cost estimates for moving the Tin Can.^[2] The structure was finally demolished in 1977 to allow for the hall's construction.^[3] The venue was removed with a bulldozer in early June.^[4]
