Durham, N.C. — Duke basketball fans in attendance Saturday at the game against Wake Forest will have something new to see inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The university has installed a “Crazies Wall” in the south end of the arena, featuring actual midcourt sections from the playing floors on which Duke won each of its last two National Championships (2010 and 2015), along with several tactile pieces of Cameron memorabilia, former player shoes, hand and foot prints of former Duke greats and imagery of Cameron Crazies moments and memories.
“This multi-sensory experience represents the very best of Duke Basketball at Cameron Indoor,” said Rachel Curtis, Duke’s assistant athletic director for facility branding. “It will now be part of a Cameron Experience Tour you just can’t miss.”
The exhibit, designed by ZEBRADOG of Madison, Wisc., features multiple digital displays running classic game highlights from the Coach K era, Nike commercials featuring Duke Basketball and ESPN promos and commercials involving the Blue Devils. Fans can measure their height, hand and shoe size against former Duke players now in the NBA and other program greats, including Coach K and famous assistant coaches through time.
“It’s tough to get a ticket to see a game at Cameron. Now, fans can visit year-round and experience all of that energy at the Crazies Wall,” said Mike Cragg, deputy director of athletics at Duke University. “Our past, present and future are all right there."
The Cameron Experience is open daily at 8 a.m. On Saturdays, it opens at 9 a.m. (12 p.m. tip-off ONLY) or 10 a.m. (all other game times).
