Why it matters in Durham

One opening game is a starting point rather than a verdict on an entire season. For Durham, a Cameron home game is also a neighborhood event, drawing students, visitors and restaurant traffic. The schedule quickly turns from a familiar home setting to more demanding non-conference opponents.

What Durham residents should watch

Duke's official game center carries the box score and recap. Fans can compare upcoming opponents against the published schedule before making plans.
