Sometimes, things on game day don’t pan out as you expected, and sometimes, that leads to an incredible experience. Such was the case for me on Saturday when I arrived at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham for an epic matchup between the No. 2 Virginia Cavaliers and the No. 4 Duke Blue Devils. As a resident of the DC metro area, I drove the 4.5 hours from Northern Virginia to North Carolina for the game.
Thanks to a super-full press row for the game, I was left without a seat. As a solution - since it’s not ideal to drive 10 hours round trip to watch the game on a TV in the press room - the Duke staff came up with a suggestion.
