I went to their first game against Army. I purchased the general admission tickets where you are in the Cameron Crazies section. They were like $79 each.

You can park the Duke Hilton and walk the 10 minutes to campus

Unfortunately Cameron Indoor Stadium has become quite famous due to the frequency of games broadcast on TV and streaming and many people want to see inside even when no event is happening. In recent years it has been locked and you may be able to get into one of the front doors but only see some of the new exhibits that are in the old original small lobby. There is then a new wall and new inside doors that are locked. Thus, the days of being able to simply walk into CIS and look around seem to be pretty much over. I was there one week ago from tonight for a game and once in the place is pretty free wheeling still, but it is not open to simply walk through. It was at one time common, especially on football Saturdays to just walk right on it, even sit for a while, etc. It appears to be the price of fame that access is very limited now. Women’s basketball and volleyball games are held in CIS and are very affordable or even free, you may want to look at the athletics site and attend an event other than men’s basketball and enjoy the old but somewhat magical experience of Cameron. Getting tickets to men’s basketball is not easy and can be very expensive. It is worth it if you love college basketball to maybe splurge on tickets thru a third party broker. It can get very loud for certain games like UNC, NC State, Virginia and Florida State if you are sensitive to loud noise, to the point where your ears can actually “ring” a bit, but not so much for many other games. Hope this helps.

You can see the university at any time. The chapel is generally open unless there is a private event such as a wedding. The closest you'll get to Cameron is probably the attached Hall of Fame and Museum. The interior of Cameron is not included in most campus tours, absent a special connection. The HoF is totally worth it, though.

Try to visit Duke Gardens.

Can't tell you about those two places but you should be able to find out via phone or online. We stayed at the LaQuinta Inn and Suites south of campus. Loved it! Very attractive, well-maintained, decent chain breakfast, helpful, and near a number of restaurants including a Red Lobster. Has microwave, fridge and small coffeemaker. We initially stayed there because they do not charge for dogs but we're quite pleased. Paid less than $100.00 for room (can't remember exactly) in late May but not sure if this changes by season or local events.

I went to The Sarah P Duke gardens last spring. The flowers were labeled and were in FULL bloom. The path is firm and down-graded, for wheel chairs. The chapel has spectacular windows and there are three organs. I went during a practice for the Sunday Service. Jane H.

I parked in a lot near the admissions office.

You can drive around campus, but you will not see the best Duke has to offer. Take a quick drive, see what you like, and then park at the indoor garage or the few street level spots and walk the campus. It is very nice and can be done in an hour. Take an extra half an hour and walk through the Sarah Duke Gardens it is worth it!
