With a four-game winning streak and an 8-1 record, the Duke football team is back in Wallace Wade Stadium for the final three games of the season starting Saturday against Virginia Tech.

For each of the last home games, faculty and staff can cheer on the Associated Press' 19th-ranked Blue Devils with discounted tickets from Duke Athletics, including the nationally televised matchup against University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill on Nov. 20.

A special ticket package for all three remaining home games Virginia Tech (Nov. 15) and the Tar Heels and Wake Forest (Nov. 29) is now available for $60 for a general admission ticket to all three games. Additionally, employees have an option to save $10 off a reserved seat ticket for each of the final games.

“When you’re driving up to the stadium and you see it, I love that feeling of seeing all the fans and people out there,” said David Helton, #47, a senior linebacker with the Blue Devils. “It’s awesome to run out that tunnel and see a blue wall of people in the stands.”

The special ticket prices come at a pivotal time for the Blue Devils, who are looking to earn a berth into the 2014 ACC Championship Game. By doing so, Duke would become only the second Coastal Division school in ACC history to compete in back-to-back championship games.

Duke’s offense has also been particularly explosive at home, exciting fans by scoring 40 points per game this season in Wallace Wade.

Dr. Anthony Galanos, a season ticket holder and this year’s honorary employee captain, said fans should embrace the opportunity to see Duke play important games late in the season.

“For our football team, this is the most crucial month of the season,” said Galanos, a Duke Medicine physician with specializations in geriatric and palliative care. “What we show in the stands not only supports the team, but adds to our prestige as a program.”

Faculty and staff can purchase discounted tickets for the football team’s final three home games by calling the Ticket Office at (919) 681-2583 or visiting the office in the Cameron Indoor Stadium lobby.
