The house-lights inside Williams Arena were dimmed.  Long-time public address announcer Jules Perlt’s voice reverberated through the decades-old speakers.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second game of the Class A afternoon session.  Representing Region 6, with a record of 21 and two, last year’s consolation winner, the Melrose Dutchmen.”

Trespassing at Cameron Indoor Stadium-Duke University

There may be some truth to the rumor that I’ve broken a few trespassing laws while previously accessing famous sports venues. Most notably, scaled fences and following a delivery truck through an open gate. I only do that as a last resort.The moment of truth had arrived. This final door was either going to provide easy entry or I’d have to slide through a rooftop air conditioning vent.I put my right hand on the door handle, started to turn away in frustrated resignation even before I pulled. With one leg stepping back towards the car and one arm attached to the door, something wonderful happened—the door opened. Bingo! Within minutes, I’d regret I stepped inside.
