Makes me think of that old Sam Cooke number, "We're Having a Party." There will be plenty of time to party before the game.

I'm curious but don't remember, Jim.... when was the last time we had a night game in October?

[CameronBornAndBred]

Wooooohoooooo!!!! I was thinking 3pm; I never expected to see an October night game...woohooo!! All day tailgate! (And I'm very happy we didn't get the 12:30 and I didn't have to eat my foot.)

I hope the TBCC has ram chops on the menu that day and our guys can feast on some roasted sheep, too.

7PM game is going to be horrible for student attendance. I've already heard the excuses start to crop up - "I can't make it because I have [social event] later that night." Ugh.

As Duke continues to win and rebuild a winning tradition, priorities will shift. It is a process and takes time, but at some unknown point along the continuum, attending the football game will be THE social event.

Tell them at Duke University, any Duke-UNC game IS the social event!!

Oh, you can believe I did. I hope priorities shift ASAP.

I have a dream that the student section will be full to the gills with a bunch of young, enthusiastic, rowdy fans, hungry to bring the innovation of CIS chanting to WW. Wouldn't it be great to have a home game VS U of Win at any cost, dark blue out, fans drowning out that nauseating drone of "Tar...Heels" with creative anti Heels chant. Agree 1000% that this game IS the social event.

[CameronBornAndBred]

I hate the thought of the goal posts being the center of a great party on the quad in the middle of a bunch of students that didn't even go to the game. Hopefully attitudes will change by kickoff.

[Dukehky]

Hells to the yeah, Prime-Time. I think it might be time for Cutcliff to call for a blackout... since the Carolina did a white out last weekend. I'm pumped for this game (i know it's two weeks away, but whatever). Who would have thought that Duke football would be getting me my football wins instead of the Panthers? Not me.

We really need to beat Va Tech to keep up the momentum, or else we're going to see a lot of baby blue clothes in the seats at Wallace Wade that night.

No matter what the outcome is this Saturday, the baby blues will be there taking up seats in our house.

Maybe, maybe not. They haven't done a great job taking up seats in their own house. I know Duke has sold a lot of tickets for the game, so the stadium should be packed; we just don't know with which color. I'd love to see a game where we can actually drown out that gawd-awful "tar------heels" chant.

Have all tickets this year been around $46? I live a plane ride away so haven't been able to go to to any this year, but was just curious as that seems like a steady increase from years past. (I see that Miami is $36, so perhaps "marquee" games are a bit more.) I thought a couple years ago, SEASON tickets could be had for just a bit more than $100 unless I'm misremembering.

Based on attendance figures, that price seems high for normal games. For UNC, I'd think it should be pretty full, though, so it makes sense in this instance. But for earlier games, I'd think it'd be a net positive if more people were in the seats and the revenue was a bit decreased. Although I assume they've done that cost benefit analysis.

Having said that, I'll be cheering from afar. A win would be huge. GTHC!

Season tickets can still be bought pretty cheaply, and yes the marquee games go up. Notice that Miami is less than the games before it. (Yet it may be more important than either of those.) As much as I want people to buy from Duke, I want Wallace Wade packed with Duke blue, so I'd look at Stub Hub and other sites too for better prices. Or show up game day and see what you find. Not guaranteed for the unc game, but every other game you can get a ticket outside the stadium for much less than face, often free.
