Great to be posting! My wife and I are making our 2nd appearance in Cameron on Wed night! We are from WA State and flew in for our 10 year anniversary. The last time we came was the 2010 - 82-50 spanking, for our Honeymoon. I was wondering if there are any must do items you guys recommend?

Thanks for having me on the boards.

Hi, nope. I had a glimmer of hope to play baseball there but it didn’t work out, so stayed on the Wesr Coast, where we met. I have been a lifelong Duke fan and it never went away and I roped her in! :)

Hope the results are similar this time as well. If so, sounds like you and the wife need to make the trip an annual one. Don’t stop there, make the trip 8 miles down the road too.

I did play baseball there, but it was back when Duke sucked. No way i could play now. You follow duke baseball? I started a thread about it, and would love your input. What position did you play/ Too many questions!

Welcome to DI! It's a short history, but I like the results when you show up at Cameron! Hope history repeats itself. Anyway, hope you have a great anniversary, and another memorable Duke experience.

I think you'll be very surprised how nice downtown Durham is now, even compared to last time your were there. Lots of restaurants so there isn't much reason to travel 8 miles down the road anymore.

Unfortunately, the weather may not be good but if you're from Wash State you can handle rain!

Enjoy the atmosphere and yell like crazy for the good guys!

Hi, haha, they weren’t the best when I was at my best, but was in the college scene 2001 (another great year) - 2005. I was a middle infielder, played at the University of Nevada. What position did you play? It is harder to follow on the West bc not much exposure but I really like what Pollard and Co are doing there. Ok, question for you, are they playing home games at the Bulls stadium or? My server at Tobacco Grill wasn’t sure.

Haha, you guys are awesome. About to head to the Duke campus and see how much money I can spend! Wish me luck!
Check out The Duck Shop. It’s a little cheaper and probably find the same stuff you’re looking for. It’s off Ninth St. just a few minutes away

All but five games this year are at Durham Bulls Park....the five are at Jack Coombs, where we always played in my day. Take in a game this weekend if you can, against Northwestern (at DBP).
I pitched....not often and not too well, but the memories are forever. Coach was Tom Butters, of whom you may have heard.

By the way, saG, better not spend TOO much time on this Board, 'cause it sounds like you have a good marriage so far. Or, get your bride to join as well.

I should have read this first! I did the exact same thing!! Then saw players leaving practice and went back to the team store and my wife snagged a shirt! Oops!
