Krzyzewskiville, or K-ville for short, is a singular phenomenon that occurs before major men's basketball games at Duke University. In simplest terms, it is the line for students wishing to gain access to the games (It is often mistakingly referred to as a ticket line. However, there are no student tickets; students are admitted from the line 1.5 hours before each game). Months before the actual game, students begin to put up and live in tents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium. As many as twelve people can occupy a specific tent number (many "tents" contain more than one physical tent). As regulated by Duke Student Government, there must be a certain number of students in the tent at regular, periodic checks.

From the beginning of tenting (the first tents usually appear between Christmas and New Year's) until one week before the game, tents must have 1 person in the tent during the day and 8 people each night. For the week before the game, only two people must be in the tent each night. The two nights prior to the game are personal check nights, during which each of the twelve tent members must be at the tent for 3 of 5 personal checks spread over the two nights. If a tent misses a tent check twice, it gets moved to the end of the line (assuming availability). If K-ville is at full capacity (100 tents) and a waitlist exists at the time of the second miss, the tent gets removed completely. Tenters that lose their spot or non-tenters can then take their chances at the walk-up line, which forms 48 hours before tipoff. The walk-up line has couples, wherein one member must be in line at all times. People in the walk-up line are not guaranteed to get into the game and often some people who have waited more than 24 hours do not get in.


K-ville is also an important social function at Duke, as many students participate at least once; it gives students a chance to mix with those not in their own dorms or classes. Duke has installed Wi-Fi and Ethernet ports in the lightposts so that students can participate in tenting without falling behind in their schoolwork.
