and must say that well over half their cheers are parts of or basically our cheers. The completely stole the go to hell carolina line and put them on T shirts, like 34232 people had on that T shirt. I must admit though that their cheerleaders have gotten better looking. But its one of the smallest places I have been 2. It looks like a high school gym, reynolds pwns it.

but thanks Cameron Crazies for stealing our stuff.

2/8/2006 12:27:12 AM

Why were you there?

2/8/2006 12:29:26 AM

2/8/2006 12:30:26 AM

what makes you think we didn't steal the cheers from them?

seems to me everyone in the league copies the crap duke started, like the jumping up and down which they do well and we try to do but looks like shit cause half the people dont do it and the other half don't jump together but just randomly.

i think your giving our fans to much credit if you say that duke has stolen our shitty cheers.

2/8/2006 12:33:13 AM

this was my first Cameron trip so thats another reason why i went, mainly actually. Its certainly not all its cracked up to be.

^ you are an idiot, u must not know NCSU basketball history at all. GTFO

best part of the night was at halftime they had a mcnugget eating contest where u had to eat 50 of them and some dude about half way through started doing the 'im gonna puke' face and about a minute later, puked alllll over his side. it was grand

2/8/2006 12:37:12 AM

OMG WE MADE UP GO TO HELL CAROLINA

OMG 12th MAN

2/8/2006 12:37:32 AM

so "go to hell <insert team name here>" was started by NCSU? SWEET!

2/8/2006 12:37:55 AM

of course its not what its cracked up to be when you base your judgement on watching an away game on a big screen with 100 people.

2/8/2006 12:38:36 AM

you do realize reynolds is modeled after cameron indoor, right?

2/8/2006 12:45:28 AM

cameron indoor - 1940
reynolds - 1949

Im so stupid, i think that 1949 < 1940

2/8/2006 12:46:42 AM

its cracked up to be a nice place?

2/8/2006 12:51:36 AM

dook didn't actually have a competitive basketball team until about 30 years ago.

2/8/2006 12:52:59 AM

yup i was wrong.. thats why i checked my facts instead of going on what other posters say and edited my post... that makes me such a dumbass^^^^

2/8/2006 12:54:02 AM

shut up suckrates, every one else here understands what im saying. its just not what i thought at all.

2/8/2006 12:54:02 AM

but they were winning football nc's in the 40's. go figure.

2/8/2006 12:54:14 AM

its known to be a dump...they say its great for the atmosphere during the games not the construction

2/8/2006 12:54:44 AM

"i dont mean the atmosphere, i meant the concourse itself"

what didn't you like about it??? i mean the actual basketball court and stands def. looks outdated but i liked that room of champions with the shrines to the NPOY's in the past and the NC's and that other stuff; i thought it was neat

2/8/2006 12:55:25 AM

^^^my grandfather was on those teams

i didnt like how it appeared to be like a morman gym or something, no offense to mormans...the court and all did look rather small and vintage, but i did like how that vintage look came into play, i mean it gave it that old historic feel...just wish they would do some renovations, scoreboard would be the first.

2/8/2006 1:04:06 AM

"scoreboard would be the first."

definitely, but could they even fit a jumbotron type of scoreboard in there w/o it hanging too close to the floor or looking way too bulky??

Duke wouldn't have the distinct home court advantage if the students werent 30 inches from the action. If they were 12-15 feet, like most venues, it would be completely different, wish more schools would do it. Many many opponents have stated in PC's the proximity of fans as a factor, and oh yea, they're loud.

2/8/2006 1:09:16 AM

if its about the same size it should sit fine, it just needs some new stuff up there, and u would think a school like that would update things such as that. one thing i dont get is the doors at the ends...wtf are they for, decoration?

2/8/2006 1:09:53 AM

never figured that out either, the doors

theyre for coach k, so he can ascend and leave through those doors strait to heaven when he retires

2/8/2006 1:14:04 AM

based on K's physical resemblance(to the devil) I would have guessed the opposite

[Edited on February 8, 2006 at 1:22 AM. Reason : k]

yea, although the aisle lead directly to the doors, hes gonna ascend in a mastercard commercial

Why are you rating cameron when you didnt even go to a game?

That doesn't mean that Reynolds was modeled after Cameron....you really should read up on NCSU History

Reynolds and Cameron were designed by the same guy, and reynolds was designed and started first. Cameron started later. Cameron was finished first, becasue NCSU stopped construction when money had to be rerouted due to WWII. Construction stopped. After the war was over, construction began again, but they realized that enrollment was up drastically. They had to expland Reynolds to be bigger than planned, which is why it is bigger than Cameron. They obviously would have to spend too much to make it wider because beams were already made, but they could make it longer with little expense. Reynolds was completed later because construction took longer, not because it was modeled after Cameron.

And "Cameron Crazies" was stolen and modeled after "Reynold Rowdies"

2/8/2006 11:17:11 AM

for awhile reynolds was the largest free span building in the south east

uhh...what?

http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/national_championships/nchamps_team.php

shows zero titles for Duke.

Where's your info from?

Also, they didn't fare so well in the AP polls during the '40s either. I'd say no NCs for them.

http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/national_championships/ap_poll.php?year=1940

Interesting, though, that State, UNC, and Wake(!!!!) show up in these as well.

i don't think this is right

i have a book about reynolds open in front of me (Images of America: Raleigh's Reynolds Coliseum) that says (on pg 22):

Quote :

"The building committee at NC State decided that they would do well to follow the same building plan used for the recently completed indoor stadium at Duke University...With Duke's cooperation, designers used the blueprints from the indoor stadium and saved $15,000 in design fees. Not satisfied to merely copy the design of the Duke building, NC State officials took Lee aside and instructed him to add 26 feet to the length of the building..."

(this book could be wrong, just relaying information...)
