Cameron Indoor Stadium is a basketball arena located at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Supposedly, the plans for the stadium were
drawn up in 1935 by basketball coach Eddie Cameron, and football coach Wallace Wade, on the cover of a matchbook. The arena was dedicated
on January 6, 1940, having cost $400,000. At the time, it was the largest gymnasium in the country south of the Palestra at the University of
Pennsylvania. Originally called Duke Indoor Stadium, it was renamed for Cameron on January 22, 1972.

The building originally included seating for 8,800, though standing room was sufficient to ensure that 12,000 could fit in on a particularly busy day.
Then, as now, Duke students were allowed a large chunk of the seats, including those directly alongside the court. Renovations in 1987-1988
removed the standing room areas and added seats, bringing capacity to 9,314.

Duke's men's basketball teams have had a decided home-court advantage for many years, thanks to the diehard students and fans affectionally
known as Cameron Crazies. The hardwood floor has been dedicated and renamed Coach K Court in recognition of head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

In EA Sports's NCAA March Madness 2005 and '06, Cameron Indoor ranked first in the top twenty-five toughest places to play. Additionally, Sports
Illustrated ranks it fourth on a list of the world's top 20 sporting venues, and USA Today referred to it as "the toughest road game in the nation".
