When it comes to Duke basketball, March Madness wouldn’t be possible without the ‘Countdown to Craziness.’
One month ahead of the season, the Blue Devils host a fan festival and exhibition to celebrate the season that’s about to kick off. It includes something for every fan, like local food trucks, live music, a beer garden, games and more. It’s then followed by the annual Blue-White scrimmage for both the men’s and women’s teams.
The ‘Countdown to Craziness’ is a chance for Blue Devil fans from near and far to come together and celebrate the teams as they prepare to make their 2024 statements.
In addition to the fun, Duke will be collecting donations for those impacted by Hurricane Helene. Not only is the event a chance for the Blue Devils to give back to fans, but fans can give back to the community.
Basketball is just around the corner, but those that can’t wait can head to Durham on Friday, Oct. 4 for the ‘Countdown to Craziness.’ Here’s how to get the best deals on tickets for the exhibition event.
