K-Ville
This week there was a basketball game between the University of North Carolina (UNC) and Duke University. This annual game is a hugely popular event, and some of the Duke students have been in line since December (!) to get tickets for the game.
We went for a walk over campus earlier this week and saw the tents and camping equipment in front of the sports stadium. The next day the TV news mentioned that one of the kids in the tents was treated for meningitis, but was doing relatively well. The name of the tent ville is Krzyzewskiville, or Kville, named after 'Coach K' a hugely successful coach of the Duke men's basketball team (and also of the US Olympic team in 2008).
Read more about the line policy on Kville.info.
Sadly for those enthousiastic fans, Duke lost to UNC with 87 to 101.

Re: K-Ville
I think you meant basketball, not baseball.
Go Pack! :)
Re: K-Ville
Ah yes, thanks. I've fixed it in the article.
"Go Pack!", for the non-North Carolinian readers of the site, is a reference to "the Wolfpack".
This is the nickname of the athletic teams of North Carolina State University (not to be confused with the University of North Carolina, whose athletics teams are called "Tarheels").
