What a great weekend for a hoops fan. Wish I were with you!SU played down at NC St back in Feb 2001 a group of us flew down to Raleigh on a Thursday night. Drove to Cameron on Friday to check the place out was able to just walk right into the arena. Really neat. Saw a couple players running on treadmills and later on walked into an elevator just as Coach K was walking out. Back then there were very little restrictions on where you could wander. We went right out onto the court and took pictures.
SU game was at noon on Sat. Wanted to get the whole tobacco road experience so after the Cuse game another guy and I drove to Chapel Hill scalped a pair of seats together for Georgia Tech @ UNC which was at 4:00. There were plenty of tickets floating around we got in for around $45 each.
Next day we drove up to Durham for Florida St @ Duke Sun afternoon game. Tix were extremely scarce cost us $100 each and we just ended up getting singles on the opposite end of the arena from one another. Definitely an experience seeing a game in there though. Once thing that stood out was that the students were packed in down low and rowdy but the rest of the arena was actually very laid back not sure if it is always like that or just because it wasn't a huge game.
