DURHAM – Duke Athletics has announced that no food or beverage service will be provided at home athletic events through at least Friday, Jan. 21.
For basketball home games, no concessions will be available and food and beverage options will be suspended in all hospitality areas. This is consistent with the university’s current policy on indoor dining across the campus to reduce the risk of COVID transmission during the current surge of the Omicron variant.
Club Blue Devil will not open for Saturday’s men’s basketball game versus Miami, but outdoor options are being evaluated for future home games, weather dependent.
Duke Athletics thanks its fans for remaining diligent in adhering to the University’s indoor mask mandates and again reminds its patrons to wear proper, tight-fitting masks that cover the nose and mouth when indoors on campus.
The No. 2 men’s basketball team hosts Miami on Saturday at 8 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Stadium, while the No. 17 women’s basketball is next at home on Thursday, Jan. 13 vs. Virginia Tech at 6 p.m.
Is this Duke being Duke or is college basketball in danger due to spiking COVID-19 numbers?
