a) I don't like Duke at all - grew up hating them and have softened somewhat just b/c...
b) ...I now live a mile from Cameron Indoor
c) I've seen 5 or 6 games there
d) It's old and hot and loud and small and cramped
e) There's nothing else like it - it's a complete throwback gym, and apart from all the obnoxious Coach K worshipping and cult-like behavior, it's a great place to watch a game.
I would love nothing more than to be one of 50 people in the place wearing orange and cheering when the rest of the place is dead silent.
I have a problem with everything in d) except the loud part. Going from any modern gym to that dump is hard to do. Now, since it's Dook, I would like to have plenty of Vol fans there to cheer if we were to play, but I think most people going for the first time would be disappointed with the rustic cabin-like gym.
