It’s two minutes past 5 p.m. on Monday and chatter hums in a pocket of the Carrier Dome while the rest of the Syracuse University campus settles into a quiet dusk.

The sign above the alcove reads “Gate E” but the students call it “Boeheimburg.” Tents are sprouting up out of the concrete and a small village is starting to take shape. The thermometer on the green Boeheimburg sign hovers between 20 and 30 but the air is 19 degrees.

The campout for the Syracuse-Duke game has begun.
