Wow, that super sucks. I've said it over and over, the lack of common sense shown by Duke officials in regards to sporting events (both in the stadium and related to parking) is astounding; I don't see how such smart people can be so collectively stupid.devildeac wrote:Duke taking just another step to (cough) enhance attendance at FB games.

This rather sucks. Wonder if our tailgate group will send a letter to the AD...
From reading the article, it looks like "other ACC schools" are doing the same thing. It's still insanely stupid. What does it prevent, a terrorist from waiting 'til halftime to go get his bomb?CameronBornAndBred wrote:Wow, that super sucks.

Oh well, I'm gonna be missing lots of first halves this year.
PS...I guarantee that this will increase heat related medical issues during afternoon games. (And I'm not a doctor.)

I'm already suffering withdrawal symptoms by not being able to bring my purse into the stadium. Where am I supposed to put my car keys, my wallet, my telephone, my sunglasses, my kleenex, my camera (and lenses) my hat, my gloves (in cold weather), my gum, my allergy meds, my "hygiene" products, my pocket-sized umbrella for the walk back to the car because the use of umbrellas is prohibited in the stadium, my rain poncho and my ear buds so that I can listen to Bob Harris on the radio during his last season at Wally Wade? Maybe I'll just get a peasant skirt with lots of pockets and WEAR all of this stuff into the stadium. What an ill-considered policy, especially for women.
And then, if I leave one of the above-things in my purse locked in the car and I need to go and get it, TPTB are going to deny my re-entry to the stadium. Wow! That's some sort of hospitality, Duke.
I go through security every day at the courthouse, and I'm allowed to bring all of the above-listed items--plus lots of other things--in my purse. There are criminals in those courtrooms, and they are allowed to bring in purses so long as they pass through the x-ray machine and metal detectors.
I can think of no reason for prohibiting purses and/or bags inside the stadium, especially when we've passed through a metal detector, I don't understand why Duke is treating its graduates and donors (who include my 82-year old mom, my husband and me) with such distrust, disrespect and disdain. Well, actually, I can. This sounds like yet another way for Duke to make money: by creating a marketplace inside the stadium for the items we forgot.
I am NOT impressed.
WELL SAID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This would be great to post OY and/or send to the Iron Dukes/Kevin White's office. The more I think about this, the more asinine it becomes.CathyCA wrote:Here's what I put on FB under the CTN post about this matter:

I see myself wearing layers of clothing with layers of pockets.
I also see myself, next year, paying coin for TBCC and parking, and dispensing with season tickets altogether. If I decide during the week I want to go to a game, I will buy tickets then or at the stadium.
.
). We also enjoy attending games, but we've overpaid for parking several years, pay an extra $30/year for shipping and handling for the tix, plus an ID donation that gets us to the 5/6 level for MBB/ACCT/NCAAT tix. We also only attend on average 4 of the 6 games each year and then have to re-sell or eat the cost of the tix. And, if you decide a day or 3 before the game that you'd like to attend, there's always someone selling tix for face value or less on Devil's Alley on near CIS.

I went to spork your comment, too, but it was gone (the one you gave permission to copy and paste). Did you delete it?CathyCA wrote:I got a spork! I got a spork! I got a spork! (Thank you, CB&B!)
.You hit the nail squarely on the head, CarhyCA. Makes me want to attend tailgate but not the game.CathyCA wrote:Here's what I put on FB under the CTN post about this matter:
