Krzyzewskiville

Krzyzewskiville, or K-ville for short, is a singular phenomenon that occurs before major men's basketball games at Duke University. In simplest terms, it is the student ticket line. Months before the actual game, students begin to put up and live in tents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium. As regulated by the University, there must be a certain number of students in the tent at regular, periodic checks, and both the number of students and frequency of checks increases as the game approaches. If a tent fails to meet the requirement, it loses it's place in the line.

K-ville is also an important social function at Duke, as many of the students participate at least once, and therefore all students get a chance to mix with those not in their own dorms or classes. Duke, seeing the color and personality that K-ville lends to the school atmosphere, encourages students to partake, installing wireless networking and Ethernet ports in the lightposts so that students can go tenting without falling behind in their school work.

Krzyzewskiville is named for Mike Krzyzewski, the long serving and much loved "Coach K" who has helped make Duke's Baskeball program one of the best in the nation. He has been known to buy pizza for the K-ville residents from time to time and has held open forum "team meetings" with the Cameron Crazies before games against arch-rival UNC.
