See a Duke Game the Way Dickie V Does!
If you've ever wanted to see a game in Cameron Indoor Stadium, here's your chance. Duke is making tickets available to the public for the first time ever (or at least in a long time). And it's a big game, too -- the Indiana game next Tuesday the 28th, part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The available tickets are part of a pretty awesome package. You get eight seats in the media booth. (In Cameron, the tv and radio media sit on what is essentially a catwalk in the rafters. It's accessible by a rickety ladder and you can't stand without banging your head on the roof. Still, the place is so small -- capacity 9,314 -- it's not a bad seat.) You get four rooms at the swank Washington Duke Inn and some other swag. Basically, you and seven friends get to be VIPs at the closest thing Cameron has to skyboxes.
So, here's the catch. Well, two catches. First, it's an auction. The bidding ends Thursday night and is currently just over $4000. So you've got to have some expendable income. The other catch is that, depending on who the tv announcers are, you might have to sit a few seats down from Dick Vitale. Note that the ticket package does include headphones, allegedly to allow you to listen to the Duke Radio feed, and they may be able to block out Vitale.
I hope they have some kind of Blue Devil loyalty test, so some rich Duke-haters don't zoom in and make a spectacle of this opportunity. I don't really think anyone could stand the total Duke immersion if they didn't have at least some love for Alma Mater. But whoever winds up winning this auction should have a pretty neat experience.
Speaking of neat experiences at the Indoor Stadium, the image below is the poster for the 4/2/82 Grateful Dead show in Cameron.
