Theme Specific Wordpress Custom Fields

I'm currently in the process of building a wordpress multi-site for a client. I've completed aspect #1, which was creating Theme-1. Theme-1 was built utilizing excessive amounts of the AdvancedCustomFields PLUGIN.

I'm working to build Theme-2, this one is the primary theme that will be utilized for all of the sub-sites created through the multi-site option. The issue I'm having is that the AdvancedCustomFields are no longer an option, I need to build all of the customization into the functions.php file directly.

Is it possible to create custom fields through the theme directly - without utilizing a plugin?

I need the theme pages to have "Left Side" "Right Side" "Footer" as WYSIWYG editors. So if someone goes to create a new page all of these field settings are there by default.

Is this possible?

If you ever happen to change the theme, you'll probably regret having this functionality into functions.php. But maybe not, to be sure see: Where to put my code: plugin or functions.php? - brasofilo

It's possible, using the wp_editor function to get the WYSIWYG functionality. See this question on the WordPress stackexchange site. It's demonstrated as a plugin, but you could just as easily put the code in your theme.
