Test Your Duke Football IQ Relive Last Year's Event
Duke football kicks off its second season under Coach David Cutcliffe Sept. 5, and faculty and staff are invited to celebrate the 2009 opener as part of Duke Appreciation.
The festivities, sponsored by Duke Athletics and Human Resources, begin at 4 p.m. at K-ville Quad, where employees and family members can enjoy a buffet meal, games, music and the "Blue Devil Alley" football team march to Wallace Wade Stadium before the 7 p.m. game against University of Richmond.
"The support we received from the Duke community last year was simply outstanding," Cutcliffe said. "Our fans play a vital role in creating a great home game atmosphere for our team, and we want Duke employees to be a huge part of that experience."
