Mike Krzyzewski's last game at Cameron Indoor Stadium features his Duke Blue Devils facing off against the North Carolina Tarheels. There's no better way to send off the coach who played the biggest part in one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports.
The price of admission is astronomical for the Blue Devils' regular-season finale. According to ESPN's David M. Hale, the cheapest seats for the Saturday-night contest are hovering around the $3,500 range. Each of the 208 players that Krzyzewski coached over the years has been invited to the game, per Stadium's Jeff Goodman.
Mike Krzyzewski has coached 208 different players since taking over at Duke in 1980.
All of them have been invited to attend K’s final home game at Cameron on Saturday.

The craziness of Cameron's prices is not surprising at all. Krzyzewski is wrapping up one of the most legendary coaching careers in history. The all-time leader in wins in Divisionn I men's basketball, five-time national champion and 15-time ACC Tournament champion retires with an unmatched resumé.
Duke rides a seven-game winning streak into their matchup with UNC, who are winners of their last four games. The matchup between Paolo Banchero and Armando Bacot should make for an entertaining game, though Duke remains the favorite to win the game.
AJ Griffin's recent hot streak of games should further solidify the chances of Coach K leaving his last home game with a win. Regardless, Krzyzewski has led Duke to a 50-46 record over North Carolina in his tenure.
Although the rivalry will still go on — former Duke star Jon Scheyer succeeding Krzyzewski as head coach shouldn't tamper any animosity from UNC fans — it will have a different feeling when Coach K is no longer on the sidelines.
