LEGO Cameron - Elevated Roof
To allow visibility into the interior of the stadium, I elected to elevate the model's roof on four clear columns. Just as in the real Cameron, the model's roof is covered in light fixtures illuminating the court below and banners honoring the acheivements of past teams and players. Blue banners are used by the women's team, white banners by the men's. The banners in the foreground represent Duke's five national championships, the first coming in 1991 when I was a very fortunate freshman. I will never forget the thrill of watching Duke clinch its first title on a big screen in Cameron surrounded by thousands of my screaming classmates.
In a life imitating art moment, I had already committed to this open roof design when I learned that Duke was planning something similar for the real Cameron: twitter.com/DukeMBB/status/1377621677987790848?s=20 (note the date)
