==Sports== [[File:BSKT005 Cameron Indoor Stadium DiscoverDurham.jpg|thumb|A Duke basketball game at [[Cameron Indoor Stadium]]]] Collegiate athletics are a primary focus in Durham. Duke University's men's basketball team draws a large following, selling out every home game at [[Cameron Indoor Stadium]] since 1990.<ref>{{cite web|last=Favat|first=Brian|date=May 18, 2009|title=Headlines: Men's Basketball Attendance Ranked 99th Nationally|url=http://www.bcinterruption.com/2009/05/headlines-mens-basketball-attendance.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090522032228/http://www.bcinterruption.com/2009/05/headlines-mens-basketball-attendance.html|archive-date=May 22, 2009|access-date=July 15, 2012|publisher=BC Interruption}}</ref> The fans are known as the [[Cameron Crazies]] and are known nationwide for their chants and rowdiness. The team has won the [[NCAA Division I]] championship three times since 2001 and five times overall.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fanbay.net/ncaa/final4.htm |title=NCAA College Basketball Tournament Winners and Final Four Teams |publisher=Fanbay.net |access-date=July 15, 2012}}</ref> Duke competes in a total of 27 sports in the [[Atlantic Coast Conference]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://goduke.com/|title=Duke Athletics β Duke University |publisher=[[Duke Blue Devils]] |access-date=May 30, 2022}}</ref> [[File:DBAP023 Durham Bulls DiscoverDurham.jpg|thumb|[[Durham Bulls Athletic Park]]]] Durham's professional sports team is the [[Durham Bulls]] [[International League]] [[baseball]] team. A movie involving an earlier [[Carolina League]] team of that name, ''[[Bull Durham]]'', was produced in 1988. Today's Bulls play in the [[Durham Bulls Athletic Park]], on the southern end of downtown, constructed in 1994. One of the more successful teams in the minor leagues, the Bulls usually generate an annual attendance of around 500,000. Previously [[Durham Athletic Park]] (DAP), located on the northern end of downtown, had served as the Bull's ballpark. Historically, many players for the current and former Durham Bulls teams have transferred to the big leagues after several years in the minor leagues. DAP has been preserved for the use of other teams as well as for concerts sponsored by the City of Durham and other events. The Durham Dragons, a women's fast pitch [[softball]] team, played in the Durham Athletic Park from 1998 to 2000. The DAP recently went through a $5 million renovation.
