31 best fan bases in all of sports

20. Duke Basketball
Duke is one of the best teams in college basketball every year. The history and tradition is what makes them great. Coach K gets the most out of his guys every year and with two top high school recruits on their way this coming season, expectations are as high as always.
If you’ve ever watched a Duke home game on TV, then you’ve seen the Cameron Crazies. If you haven’t, then wait for North Carolina’s next home game and just watch the crowd. It’s pure mayhem — what sports is all about.
Duke won the National Championship two years ago when they defeated Wisconsin. Tyus Jones led them throughout the whole tournament, but the fans were right behind him every step of the way.
Cameron Indoor Stadium is located in Durham, North Carolina and holds about 9,314 people. In 2015-2016, Duke sold out every one of its home games. This extended their record sellout streak to 406 consecutive games. Cameron Indoor is one of the toughest places to play in the country. In 36 years under Coach K, Duke has a 489-62 record at home.
Duke has seen some early bounces from the NCAA tournament, but they are there every year and always a contender to win the National title. This year seems to be no different. The Crazies will be ready.
