Ah, historic Wallace Wade Stadium. The site of the 1942 Rose Bowl. A quaint little stadium with the capacity to seat almost 34,000, rarely exceeds 20,000. Why? Well it's the home to the Duke Blue Devils and their 7-40 record at home over the last 8 years (10-82 overall). It is also, in the words of new Athletic Director Kevin White, in need of "a pretty significant makeover."Duke's strategic plan for athletics, released in May, has called for renovations at Wallace Wade. White said those renovations need to be so extensive he doesn't even know where to start in talking about them.So, in a companion to the legal conclusion that Duke is the worst in football from last month, it appears that the Blue Devils have the stadium to house them.
He wants to consult with architects about possibilities and prices before getting specific.
"We need to do an awful lot at Wallace Wade," White said. "This facility is antiquated at best, and we just have got to come in here and do a pretty significant makeover. Not a facelift, but a makeover."

Yes, the problem is clearly the stadium. If only they had a state-of-the-art facility like Cameron Indoor. Nice logic, Duke.
