Only students, employees with valid IDs and credentialed media will be permitted on campus. However, given our experiences in 1991 and '92, I want to caution that championship celebrations can be larger and more challenging from a safety perspective. In the event that we win, I would ask for everyone's cooperation in making this a safe, fun celebration. In a letter this week to the Duke community, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask III echoed those sentiments. As we celebrate, we want to make sure everyone has not only a good time, but a safe time.
Safety is a serious issue.
Trask's letter pointed out that the Durham Fire Marshal has issued a bonfire permit for Monday night only. Please help make our celebrations of the success of Duke basketball safe for all of us. Let's make the conclusion of the season fun and accident free. The event is open to the public.
