Duke Football 2024

I’m surprised it’s not “Smithfield Foods Deck” or some such. The naming rights can’t be far behind.

The Mediocre Cuisine Deck does have a ring to it.

that's a crazy place for a stadium...there will be days when the wind makes throwing the ball downfield just about impossible...maybe the right time for bubble screens!

Wrong thread, my DBR friend. My fault. We've got two stadium threads going so it's confusing.

still relevant as we have to play there, and it's a key game for us.

Agree, maybe The Apostrophe Protection Society can be resurrected and change the name accordingly.

If the new party deck turns out to be popular, don't be surprised if it gets a music and/or food driven name.

If the new party deck turns out to be popular…

It is going to be a total flop. Charging $47 per person, per game to hangout in the cheap seats isn’t a formula for success.

It could be attractive if you are a company buying a block of cheap seats for guests that you know won't likely actually care about what happens on the field.

Veterans Day is not possessive.

No problem with Devils Deck. What's it called -- an adjectival noun? Or a noun phrase?

 

[budwom]

Heroes Corner as well

Maybe Duke is just following the USGS place naming convention for dropping apostrophes.

“Apostrophes suggesting possession or association are not used within the body of a proper name (Pikes Peak, Henrys Fork). The word or words that form a geographic name change their function and together become a single denotative unit.”

I found a free solution.

I looked around, searched a bit and found a busload of Oxford commas I’ll be promoting to apostrophe status.

I think I was at the same yard sale. I brought a grab bag of unused Roy Williams timeouts.

Can you help me with a bunch of silent Os that I was hoping to find homes for on misused typings of “to”?
