Cameron crazies finding better things to do

[TRest]

Student attendance at Dook steadily declining, mostly because the ACC sucks.

Do the students not have season tickets at Duke?

From that article I'm not entirely sure of how duke student section tickets work. Maybe I'm missing something but I think the article assumes its readers fully understand how the ticketing process works there. Seems to me that if students show up early enough, and there are open seats in the student section they get in. Definitely works to the advantage of the die hard. Also, I believe UConn sells 2,700 student tickets for Gampel, which equates to 26.5% of the capacity. Whereas duke only allocates about 13% of Cameron's capacity to the students. You would never know it from how it looks on TV though.

Anyway, hardly any ranked non-confrenence opponents at home? Big games being moved to neutral sites? Well that can't be duke they are talking about... doesn't sound like duke at all...

And of course they end the article talking about how they are above "cheesy promotions." God forbid they get the crowd into it with a few free give-aways.

$65 a pop??? To watch BCU??? I'd find other things to do too.

Cameron Lazies?

Hey, I paid $ 50 for a 2nd section (out of 3) last row seat to the game at Rutgers. Basically a dollar per point scored. And I'm paying $ 55 for a 2nd level (low row) seat at Georgetown next week. Both were purchased from the respective universities.

Guess we can't complain about our ticket prices at XL or Gampel. Now the lack of seat backs we can complain about.

I think that's what they charge non-students for those seats.

Maybe they dont go because Duke basketball is insanely boring.

I hate Dook as much as the next person, but usually they are great to watch at least from a style perspective. On the contrary, are you saying UConn games, at least right now, are exciting?

Nope, watching our offense right now pretty torturous. I guess Duke has a nice "style" and they play smart basketball, but I would never pay $65 and up to watch Jon Scheyer or Kyle Singler flop around, complain to the refs, and shoot wide open shots. As inconsistent as we are, at least we make some cool plays each game.
