Duke Deputy AD/Operations Mike Cragg in a Q&A with student newspaper THE CHRONICLE was asked about progress on the construction projects at the school's football and basketball facilities. Cragg said of the addition of Blue Devil Tower to Wallace Wade Stadium, "It’s going to be an incredible change to everything about the gameday experience for football. It is 21 suites (all of which sold out in July), the President’s Box and a couple other suites. Then we have around 600 club seats in the building, and those are still being sold. We’ve got two options available on those -- table-tops and club seats. Those are the outside seats, the part you can see from the stadium now ... The response by Duke fans has been tremendous. For us, we’re really going from zero to 100 in amenities and experience." Meanwhile, Cragg said of renovations to Cameron Indoor Stadium, "Everything is geared toward August with all of our projects right now. The exterior and actual shell of the building will be done well before August, and then we’ve got some additional portions of it for occupancy." Cragg added, "The second level will be a hospitality space, so game days but also usable on non-game days for private gatherings throughout the year. The first floor, we’re going to create more intentionally a Cameron tour and experience, and that’ll be the launching point of that, which will take fans on more self-guided tours at first throughout Cameron and some of the basketball history, tying in the basketball museum that we have now and some of the other things we have around the concourse" (THE CHRONICLE, 2/1).
