I have a question for the group in regard to the ongoing stadium renovations. Before I proceed, it is important to declare that I am very excited about the renovations in general, but... There seems to be a lot of excitement about the new seats closer to the field; however, I am of the opinion the key to having an excellent view of the whole field/game is to sit up high. Plus, you're closer to the head (latrine/comfort room/restroom). On to the question:

Are any of y 'all planning to try and sit down low in the new seats?

The Green Family will be sitting in the same general location all us CTNers normally sit - up high in Section 19.

I asked about those new seats on the west side of the stadium. I was told that the players' families will occupy them. Didn't ask about the east side though. ;;)

And the devildeacs will be bothering, err, joining you and whatever/whoever CTN denizens also choose to park our hot, sweaty carcasses in that section. :ymblushing:

I was referring to the new seats in the closed end zone (north). Will they be designated General Admission seats?

That's a good question and one I didn't ask. I've tried to find an up to date stadium map on goduke.com, but find nothing which reflects the changes which will be in place for the 2015 season. ;;)

ACC Media picks Duke 4th in Coastal:

http://www.wralsportsfan.com/clemson-ta ... /14785492/

1. GT 2. VT 3. Miami 4. Duke 5. UNC 6. Pitt 7. Virginia

Seems fair to me, although Miami is overrated and Pitt underrated. Miami lost a lot off of last year's team. Pitt has best RB/WR/QB combo returning.

Seems ok, I'm fine with being dead center. I think we'll end up higher than that of course, but there are unknowns that the press legitimately has questions for. Nice to see them finally leave UNC on the lower half of expectations.

Jim Sumner posted a nice update in the Duke Football 2015 thread at DBR. As usual, his post contains lots of solid, factual information.

That Internet Hack is at it again:

http://bluedevilnation.net/2015/07/foot ... front-six/
The new coaching assignments combined with an infusion of youth into the 2-Deep rotation has the potential to produce result up front analogous to what took place in the secondary two seasons ago. It should not be a surprise when the defensive front six show a significant uptick in production in 2015. It is the natural next step in program development in Durham.

I sure hope that knucklehead is correct.

Offensive line preview: http://bluedevilnation.net/2015/07/foot ... e-preview/

Duke led the nation in tackles for loss allowed per game (3.15) in 2014 and was second in the ACC in sacks allowed per game (1).
