1,255 | Date of experience: October 2016 | 22-Dec-16 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | Awesome Game Day | I have attended games here twice now and this second time we had much better seats (and weather conditions) and it was just a great afternoon. Really enjoy seeing a game here and how accessible the venue is |
1,256 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 15-Nov-16 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | Football and Fall make for a perfect weekend | Attended the Miami?UVA game. Stadium is easy to negotiate, plenty of food offerings - no beer however - and lots of room on the adjacent parking lots for picnics and tailgating. Pets are allowed in the parking lots but not the stadium. Great game viewing from every vantage point. |
1,257 | Date of experience: October 2016 | 18-Oct-16 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | The football stadium at UVA | Where you go to watch UVA play football. The only down side is the difficulty in parking. Most people have to park up to a mile away and the walk to the stadium can be a hot, sweaty endeavor during the early fall football season. |
1,258 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 26-Sep-16 | ACC | Virginia | 5 | Great atmosphere - but so hot | I've been here now 3 times for college football games: against BYU, Virginia Tech, and CMU. The venue is 86 years old and here and there it shows. The benches are not really comfortable, and it can become blisteringly hot in this stadium, but it's all well worth it. Throughly enjoyed the passionate yet well behaved crowds (a stark contrasts with the European soccer crowds I'm used to).Tip:- Don't fall for the signs "parking here" on game days. You'll be charged from $10 up to $50, which is not at all necessary. There plenty of parking in the neighboring areas, you'll just have to look for it. |
1,259 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 5-Sep-16 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | Football | Came for a home game. First time visitor. Clean bathrooms and stadium. Not a bad walk in. Even with tons of people, facility was well taken care of |
1,261 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 14-Jul-16 | ACC | Virginia | 5 | An amazing place! Wahoowa! | Go over and stand at the top of the hill for a while (or sit on the hill) for a great vantage on the activity. People who are UVa fans like me love football but most of us don't get nuts about young men playing a game like folks in some other college towns. With that said, things could get a bit more rowdy here in the next 10 years on certain fall Saturdays.I have great memories with my family at Scott Stadium. It is a beautiful structure. There have been some great games here over the years. The stadium has a great architectural character, unlike many venues. A horse rides in through a tunnel before games with the Cavalier riding and swirling his saber. It is a fun scene.In the last several years, I have felt compelled to leave a few games early to stroll around grounds and get a cup of coffee. I didn't like some of what I was seeing on the field. Times are changing, though, regarding college football, in Charlottesville. I also saw U2 perform at Scott Stadium, and that was a good show. |
1,262 | Date of experience: November 2015 | 1-Jul-16 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | My ashes will be buried there ... if they can find a place to park! | I've seen a lot of football games at Scott Stadium. It's a beautiful place from within. But first you have to get there. if you donate enough money to the athletic foundation, you have a good chance. If not, you may be in for a hike. Even so, that does not deter most of us. Jefferson did not consider football or parking in 1819. So the University is not perfect. But it is what it is. Food selection is limited, and not always at the preferred temperature. Drink selection is likewise limited. There are of course limits to what objects you can take into the stadium. No umbrellas, for example. And yes, it does sometimes rain on Mr. Jefferson's University ... and his football team. But you will meet some very nice people. Not to mention the helpful and cheerful attendants. Everybody waits until the last second to arrive and try to crowd thru the gates, it sometimes seems. So arrive a bit early. Besides, you don't yet know how long it will take to walk from your parking venue to the stadium. And I'll not tell you my favorites! ;-) See a game. Come back again. |
1,263 | Date of experience: November 2015 | 22-Jun-16 | ACC | Virginia | 5 | Great Stadium! | This place is full of spirit on game days. This is a fun football town because of the fans and the environment. You will see lots of orange and blue and tailgating festivities including the all-time favorite-- corn hole. Go Hoos! Go Cavaliers! If you can see a game here, or a movie, I highly recommend it! |
1,264 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 26-Apr-16 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | Football!!! | Easy to find your seats, helpful event staff, and expensive food like you would expect. You want to make sure you are early b/c you never know how long it will take to get in and get comfortable and you DO NOT want to miss the opening where the horse and rider come out and all the players rush out with the smoke and cannon! The kids love it. Halftime is great when they aren't promoting some group for too long. They finally got a marching band and it is a GREAT addition to Scott Stadium. |
1,266 | Date of experience: December 2015 | 8-Dec-15 | ACC | Virginia | 3 | Welcome to The Library | I've been referring to Scott Stadium derisively as The Library for years now. It is among the quietest stadiums of any Power 5 schools. Even back in 2011, when UVa was playing VT for the Coastal Division, the place was very subdued. You can easily carry on a conversation without raising your voice at all.Outside of the fan environment, Scott Stadium is gorgeous.The pergola adds a classy touch. The hill provides a GA area where you can hang out. There are plenty of concessions throughout the stadium.I've sat basically everywhere in Scott Stadium over the past 15 years. There really aren't any terrible seats but like most football stadiums you can have bad perspective on the plays depending on where you sit in the stadium.The lines to get in can be quite long despite less than stellar crowds so plan accordingly. |
1,267 | Date of experience: October 2015 | 23-Nov-15 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | Football! | Pretty much easy access to inside stadium, Cavaliers play here and on a nice Autumn day it doesn't get better. They don't allow you to bring in umbrellas or liquids, so be warned. |
1,268 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 14-Nov-15 | ACC | Virginia | 3 | Stadium Nice, Parking and Traffic Flow Horrible | For the past 50 years I have attended college football games as a ND fan at more than 30 stadiums all over the US. The lack of public parking anywhere remotely near the stadium and traffic flow that made no sense with streets blocked off and traffic directed back to the stadium after the game instead of away from it made no sense. To exacerbate the the situation there is nothing around the stadium. The traffic snarl both around the stadium and even in the remote parking areas was a mess. For a relatively small seating capacity it is remarkable how bad the traffic flow is. Our seats around the 30 yard line were fine with good sight lines and enough sitting room |
1,269 | Date of experience: October 2015 | 19-Oct-15 | ACC | Virginia | 5 | great venue for a game | The location is easy to get to. available using public transportation. Parking is an issue as it is all reserved. Many great food vendors during games . |
1,270 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 4-Oct-15 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | Great Venue for Football...Despite UVA's Poor Play | As a season ticket holder, we really enjoy attending games at Scott Stadium. The stadium has wonderful architecture and plenty of restrooms and concessions. When it is not too crowded, we enjoy strolling along the endzone and sitting in the grass. My only complaint about the stadium is UVA's generally dismal parking. Unless you are a well-heeled booster, you can expect to walk about a mile, either from Fontaine or University Hall. Other big colleges at least offer free shuttles, but the only shuttle option at UVA is if you have a handicap placard, you can park near the law school. Oh, and Landon's football team hasn't been great either. |
1,271 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 30-Sep-15 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | One of the more beautiful stadiums I've visited | While it's just a football stadium (housing a not very good - at this time - team), the stadium itself is very striking. Its architecture reflects that of the university in general and the ideals of its founder, Thomas Jefferson. (Though I still think he'd be a fan of the football from his Alma Mater, William and Mary,) |
1,272 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 22-Sep-15 | ACC | Virginia | 5 | Great stadium with awesome staff! | We attend football games here, regularly as season ticket holders, and find the ticket prices to be fairly reasonable. The staff and vendors are super nice and professional. My in-laws were with us, and my mother-in-law requires a walker to get around. One of the ushers,Tony, was amazing, he stored it for her so she could watch the game without worrying that it would be in the way. The stadium offers comfortable stadium chair rentals ($7), which prevent you from having to carry in your own, bulky chairs or pads. You have a great view of the field, anywhere you may sit. We are usually section 129, across from the Cavalier Marching Band. |
1,273 | Date of experience: September 2015 | 14-Sep-15 | ACC | Virginia | 4 | Really Enjoyed the Stadium | A very nice stadium to enjoy a football game in. There are a number of different food options that aren't TOO crazy in price. Definitely stop in and see a game if you are in town. |
1,275 | Date of experience: November 2022 | 10-Nov-22 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Go Hokies | This remains a nice stadium to watch a football game. Good vendors and friendly folk. It can be pretty busy so arrive with time to spare. |
1,276 | Date of experience: November 2022 | 7-Nov-22 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 3 | Game day was fun | I visited for the Ga Tech/Va Tech game. Really great pre-game atmosphere with Enter Sandman and a raucous crowd, despite the team not playing well this year. Fans were overall very polite and didn't give me much grief over wearing Ga Tech gear. I was a little disappointed with the food options. There was the usual hot dogs/nachos/popcorn, and I saw some people with pizza and bbq sandwiches. But not as much variety as I've seen elsewhere.Physically, the stadium seems to be ageing. Not many modern amenities to be found. |
1,277 | Date of experience: September 2022 | 1-Oct-22 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Great Stadium but Poor post game traffic | Fantastic stadium right on campus which meant getting out the stadium after the game was terrible. Loved the Sandman entrance. Was happy that WVU could pull out the win. |
1,278 | Date of experience: October 2021 | 14-Mar-22 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Home Game | If you don't have a paper ticket, take a screen shot of your ticket, the cellphone service get overloaded. |
1,279 | Date of experience: October 2021 | 1-Nov-21 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Fun Game Day Experience for the Whole Family | If you are a college football fan, this is a great destination. I don't even like Va Tech (see my collected works for details) and I had a super time.The atmosphere around the whole town is warm and upbeat. From local stores, to security staff, to fans, everyone is super friendly. Going to sporting events can be iffy with drunks and fools. Saw none of that, with great people sitting all around us.Game days at any big school are crowded. So make sure you get a parking pass ahead of time and arrive early.NOTE! If you want to take in a stadium seat, it has to be soft ONLY with no arms. No metal in the seat.Enjoy |
1,280 | Date of experience: October 2021 | 30-Oct-21 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great ACC Stadium | Great Stdium right on campus of VA Tech. Get the Turkey Leg on the 1st floor and enjoyed that it now serves beer and hard seltzers. Great place to watch a game and great entrance by Va Tech. Va Tech fans are very nice to their opponents as long as they are rooting for Virginia |
1,281 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 27-Sep-21 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | HOKIES!!!! | The only place to watch the HOKIES live! Friendly staff and fun atmosphere . You have to take part in Enter Sandman! Best college experience ! |
1,282 | Date of experience: September 2021 | 27-Sep-21 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | GO HOKIES! | They now serve beer and drinks. Only place to go watch the HOKIES! Sit in the student section to REALLY enjoy the game. Lots of people will help you there if you can't find anything or just need help. |
1,283 | Date of experience: November 2019 | 6-Dec-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | LOVE LOVE LOVE LANE | Great atmosphere here like no other. Fun place to watch football, staff is wonderful and fans are great!!! |
1,284 | Date of experience: November 2019 | 11-Nov-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great Environment | First time back in approximately 8 years and first time with a 4 year old. Just as good as I remember it. Had no problem getting a parking spot in the Prices Fork public lot and my 4 year old had a great time at the pregame festivities. |
1,285 | Date of experience: October 2019 | 31-Oct-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Best Game Opening in College Football | You MUST get to the stadium early for Enter Sandman. I have been to 10+ college football stadiums and 5+ Pro. Lane Stadium, packed and jumping is the most electrifying event ever! |
1,286 | Date of experience: October 2019 | 24-Oct-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Sparkling energy | Whether you go once or every game or every 10 years, VA Tech football in Lane is always an awesome show. This year, the band is over 400 strong and plays throughout the game providing support to fans and players. A military flyover starts the game. Members of the Corps of Cadets cheer standing during most playing minutes. And then there??s the Hokie bird mascot. And massive tasty turkey legs. Take a walk around the entire stadium on the main level and enjoy what it means to be in Lane. |
1,287 | Date of experience: November 2018 | 9-Oct-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great venue | Great atmosphere for exciting football. Food is typical game food. Turkey legs, barbecue, and kettle corn are highlights. |
1,288 | Date of experience: September 2019 | 14-Sep-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Great Stadium but needs WiFi | I've been going to this stadium for over 35 years It's a great setting.The rituals are energizing and exciting.There are lots of bathrooms.Food is typical for a football stadium. We're probably the only stadium that offers turkey legs. They're big. Haven't tried one.The milkshakes from the Dairy School are awesome!!If you don't have a parking pass, you will have to walk a good distance to get from public parking to the stadium.The seat back chairs they use in the stadium (for rent) are not very comfortable. They kind of push you forward.The one negative item that keeps this place from being excellent is the lack of wifi. It's nearly impossible to send a text, post a picture on FB, etc. As a technology school, this is a bit embarrassing. |
1,290 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 1-Jul-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Notre Dame vs V tech | I'm a big Notre dame fan , visited Lane Stadium one of the best experiences I've had for an away game. The fans people were great. Had a wonderful time tailgating, enjoying campus and oh the V Tech entrance to Enter Sandman one of the neatest heart pounding , entrances in all Of College Football period.It got me pumped just enjoying, even Though I bleed blue and gold.Wonderful campus, stadium, fans. A must stio for a college football Saturday period. |
1,292 | Date of experience: November 2018 | 19-Jun-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Hokies | One of the best places to see a college football game, unbelievable fan support for a small little Virginia town, go Hokies |
1,293 | Date of experience: September 2018 | 19-Mar-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Football | Best Stadium as well as football team. I don't think I've ever been to such an amazing Stadium with so many things going on to keep you entertained good food a lot of friendly people and of course amazing football. The stadium is very special to me and my family and we are always looking forward to going to games at Lane Stadium! If you've never been you're in for a real treat it would be in your best interest to give it a try sometime you won't regret it. |
1,294 | Date of experience: November 2018 | 20-Jan-19 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great gamed day atmosphere | I've always loved college football. Went here for the Boston College game (wife is a BC alumnae) and as a neutral fan I had a great time. The fans were all welcoming, the band was entertaining and the Hokies and Eagles put on a heck of a game. Walking around seeing all the tailgating and other festivities made me miss my college days. I would definitely go back. We did have a bit of an issue getting into the right side of the stadium so that might be something you research a little before going. Game day parking is atrocious, but that can be expected. A lot of students rent out spaces in their yards within walking distance to the stadium for $20-$30. They may have official game day parking on campus with shuttles, but again, do some research. |
1,295 | Date of experience: December 2018 | 23-Dec-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Virginia Tech's Football Stadium | This is the home stadium of my alma mater. Many good times were had here as a fan and a member of the Virginia Tech Marching Virginians. What else can I say? |
1,296 | Date of experience: December 2018 | 3-Dec-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 3 | Beautiful stadium | It??s pretty place to watch a football game. But it??s a steep climb. The chair backs they rent lean you forward. Very little room between rows. That??s why you constantly are trying to balance yourself. Plenty of restrooms and wide range of food options. But get used to very cramped quarters. |
1,297 | Date of experience: November 2018 | 19-Nov-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Tech game And Enter Sandman = Bucket list | Had the pleasure to see a Tech football game here and experience the entire Hokie atmosphere including jumping to Enter Sandman, rattling keys at key play, eating turkey leg and many wonderful Hokies.Clearly recommended |
1,299 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 6-Nov-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Virginia Tech vs. Notre Dame 2018 | This is a great place to catch a college football game on a Saturday night. The crowd was bonkers, great atmosphere. Everyone was friendly, di not run into any undesirables. |
1,300 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 27-Oct-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | One of the best traditions, Enter Sandman! | Although we are ND fans, we really enjoyed the Enter Sandman tradition. The stadium was rocking! The fans were great as we walked around the stadium and campus before the game. The campus was very nice with old buildings and monuments. We felt welcome and no one was unkind or rude. |
1,301 | Date of experience: September 2018 | 26-Oct-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great atmosphere for football | Being Virginia Tech alums we always enjoy returning to watch a football game in a really great atmosphere, especially if the weather is good. Go Hokies! |
1,302 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 14-Oct-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Virginia Tech, Notre Dame | Wonderful place to watch sporting events. Even if the game does not turn out your way, the atmospher is in the one of a kind category. |
1,303 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 10-Oct-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Unbelievable College Football Atmosphere | I've had season tickets since 1980 and the game day experience just keeps getting better. Last weekend we hosted a couple of Notre Dame fans who have been to games all over the country. They were totally blown away by the experience. Enter Sandman even included a message from Metallica and there were also skydivers and fireworks.Unfortunately, the Hokies lost the game but the overall experience was amazing.Attending a game at Lane Stadium ought to be on every college football fan's bucket list. |
1,304 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 8-Oct-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Enter Night, Exit Light. | Ioved the maroon effect. Tailgating was half of the fun! Though I was a little upset with the Notre dame game, because we had lost, and we had seats in 510-501, and that was the visiting team section. Do not sit there! There were some great performances from the dance team, highty tightys, the marching virginians, and an extraordinary skydiving performance. We also got to see the rec sports center named Beamer-Watson, and we saw coach Beamer receive an award. |
1,305 | Date of experience: October 2018 | 6-Oct-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Great place for football! | Just left the stadium, a little disappointed, Notre Dame put it on our Hokies.The stadium is a great place with plenty of seating and concessions to make a visit memorable. That busses from the parking areas were excellent, little wait and quick transit to the game. |
1,306 | Date of experience: September 2018 | 2-Oct-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | VT Football Stadium | Great atmosphere for Hokies and visitors. The Marching Virginians and the Highty Tighties add wonderful pregame and halftime shows. The team is energetic but respectful and well coached |
1,307 | Date of experience: September 2018 | 26-Sep-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Start Jumping!!! | There is no place on earth like Lane Stadium at a Hokies home game. Absolutely nothing.The atmosphere is electric, the spirit is uplifting, and the volume can be overwhelming as you enjoy football with 62,323 of your closest friends.Amenities abound- milkshakes from the Dairy Club booth, all the standard football game fare, and uniquely, turkey legs!There are plenty of women's bathrooms- kept in good repair. This is not the case in all football venues.Whether you're in the upper stands, or in premium seating, Lane Stadium is home for Hokies, and those who wish they were. |
1,308 | Date of experience: September 2018 | 15-Sep-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Exit Light, Enter Night! | By far the best atmosphere I have experienced for college football. Hokie fans are engaged and loud the whole game. There??s nothing like experiencing Enter Sandman! Facilities are always clean and there are plenty of concessions available. Go Hokies! |
1,309 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 21-Aug-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Good ACC football venue | Lane is one of the best football venues in the ACC and SEC, particularly at night and when leaves are changing. The crowd is into the game just before kickoff, and I can understand why visiting teams don't want to play there. VT heavily rewards the season ticket holder with good parking and seats like all schools. Get there early, be prepared to walk a good distance, and bring binoculars if you sit near or in the endzones. |
1,310 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 9-Jul-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | College football spirit | The VT students, staff and alumni make your college football experience the best!! So much school spirit you will want to become a hokie fan. |
1,311 | Date of experience: November 2017 | 9-Jul-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Best college football stadium | Lane stadium is amazing. You can feel the electricity as soon as you enter the stadium. As soon as Enter Sandman plays the place emits seismic vibrations from everyone jumping up and down. Love spending game day in Lane stadium. Go Hokies. |
1,312 | Date of experience: November 2017 | 4-Jun-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Start Jumping!!! | Watching the Hokies play at Lane Stadium is ALWAYS a good time! The fans love their Hokies like no fanbase I've ever seen before. They are up jumping, screaming, and shaking keys the entire time. If you are in the area, you have to go witness Enter Sandman and the Hokies! |
1,315 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 3-Mar-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Football Game | Watching the Hokies play at Lane Stadium is ALWAYS a fun event!!!!!! Absolutely a ton of excitement, fans jumping, keys shaking, and the canon firing! It??s a must do when you??re in the area!!! |
1,316 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 19-Feb-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Go Hokies! | No better place to enjoy a college football game than on the gridiron of Lane Stadium! The place literally rocks when the fans get going! |
1,317 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 24-Jan-18 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Lane Stadium is one of the best stadiums and college football atmospheres around | The way the stadium is shaped allows for the Hokie nation to rock and roll on game day, especially on third downs of the opposing team, while concessions, restrooms, and memorabilia are located in easy to access locations around the stadium. The Hokie Vision large screen display has a great picture visible from almost any seat while the speaker system allows for loud but understandable audio. Grab a grilled turkey leg, a coke, and a sweatshirt and get back to the game! |
1,318 | Date of experience: January 2017 | 3-Dec-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Fun tailgating | I went to two football games in 91 and again in 94. Both games were fun experiences. We were really close to the stadium for tailgating. I have been told we must have had golden Hokies tickets. |
1,319 | Date of experience: November 2017 | 25-Nov-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | The Best College Football Experience | What an amazing venue to watch a football game in. With over 70,000 students, fans, and Cadets, Lane Stadium is one of the BEST venues. Enter the Sandman is a must see for any fan of the game. It??s crazy!!! |
1,320 | Date of experience: November 2017 | 20-Nov-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Enter Sandman | Top 5 college football venue. Go Hokies. Be ready to stand the entire game or please stay away! Night games are the best. |
1,321 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 10-Nov-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great venue for football game | Came to Lane for a Hokie game in Sept 2017. Fantastic atmosphere, the intro for the team is amazing, rocks the surrounding area. Definitely a scene every college football fan has to experience. |
1,322 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 9-Nov-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | VT/Duke Game | Beautiful Stadium! Everything was nice and clean, even the bathrooms. We enjoyed the Game! Everyone was very nice and the HOKIES won! |
1,323 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 5-Nov-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Nice stadium - even in the rain | We had great seats for the Virginia Tech - Duke game, but I noticed that most of the seats have a good view as well. We stayed until the 3rd quarter, when it started pouring rain. A lot of people stayed and a lot were watching the TV under the stands to stay dry. The field held up pretty well to all the rain and it was entertaining to see the tackled players slide across the field like a slip and slide. A great game experience despite all the rain. |
1,324 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 2-Nov-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Spirited Football Venue | Hokie fans are the best. The stadium is always packed and full of excitement. Get there early for the team entrance tradition of fans jumping to Enter Sandman. Read up on the clear bag rules. |
1,325 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 24-Oct-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | You will be a Hokie Fan | Or at least a fan of the Hokie fans, when you experience a game here. So many traditions and routines. It is really one of the best community experiences you could be part of. |
1,326 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 24-Oct-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Must Experience a Football Game at Lane! | I was worried about how high our seats were, based on row numbers, but I think there must not be a bad seat in the whole stadium! The atmosphere is unbelievable, Virginia Tech's team spirit is like no other! Entry was quick and easy, no lines. We were greeted by polite, friendly GERMAN club members who were handing out programs. Seats were easy to find, and ushers were eager to help. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful. |
1,327 | Date of experience: October 2017 | 23-Oct-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Homecoming 2017 | Sellout crowd, great atmosphere and lots of fun. Greatest place to watch a college football game in October. |
1,329 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 2-Oct-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | This is Home | No place I would rather be. So many memories; a true cathedral of college football. There is not a better atmosphere in the country. |
1,330 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 27-Sep-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Football on Saturday | My first visit to Lane and VT football. A review of game day at VT. Parking is far away and a long walk unless you are a season pass holder and large contributor to the athletic department. So for first timers bring walking shoes. The sun is strong at 2200 foot elevation so sit on the west side or south end zone if attending during the afternoon. If there is a military fly over then the south end zone gives the best view. Some seats allow access to indoor lounges for restrooms, food and alcoholic beverages. Sorry no beer in the stands. College football is a game, show, and experience. A cross between sport and theater. A word about tailgating. For some it is a weekend picnic and for others it means drinking. So be watchful of your surroundings. Lastly if you do not have tickets prior to game day there are always people reselling tickets on the way to the game. So for a fun time bring sunblock, money to buy water and a loud yell to support your team. |

1,332 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 23-Sep-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Great football atmosphere | Great atmosphere and place to watch a college football game. Sit on west side if it??s a hot day..... |
1,333 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 23-Sep-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Fun place to see a football game! | Clean! And very well run. Quick to get in with tons of people. Lots of staff to help find your seat. Loved the parade of football player before they went inside! |
1,334 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 13-Sep-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Best college football venue in the Nation! | This venue is extremely welcoming for the faithful and visiting fans alike! Best college football experience in the nation! Excellent food purveyors! Very organized ingress and egress! Go Hokies! |
1,336 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 7-Sep-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | #ThisisHome | No better venue on a Saturday afternoon...than Lane Stadium.....Sandman Hokie Bird maroon and orange Skipper |
1,337 | Date of experience: September 2017 | 2-Sep-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 2 | Overrated | I'm not really into a sport, and when it's empty it's well just a giant empty stadium. I'm sure most others here love participating in lane stadium or even watching others but I just don't see the big deal here. |
1,338 | Date of experience: October 2016 | 20-Aug-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great atmosphere | If you have never been to lane stadium do yourself a favor and go. From the food to the tailgating to the amazing entrance to enter sandman , you have to experience this place! Go Hokies! |
1,339 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 16-Aug-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Home! | Majestic views of the woods and mountains and skies during the games. Great crowds of knowledgeable fans. Part of the game day experience of pre-parties, the game, then more before a trip to a hotel or a drive home. Win or lose, it is always a fantastic experience. |
1,342 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 19-Jul-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Nothing but FUN | If you haven't experienced a Hokie game, you're missing out, big time!! Lots of good food vendors to choose from. |
1,343 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 10-Jul-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Shangri-La! | An absolutely wonderful place to see a ball game, Lane Stadium is a MUST for any true college football fan. Even if you aren't a VT fan, you can be a Hokie for a day. Plan on tailgating when you come...it's a great way to meet a bunch of friendly new people. I've been lucky enough to visit a handful of college stadiums and they all certainly have their own charm, but you'll find Hokie fans to be among the friendliest in all of college football! |
1,344 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 8-Jun-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Greatest Stadium | I may be bias, but you can't get a better college football environment than Lane Stadium. It is always pumped with energy and the Hokies usually provide a great show. |
1,345 | Date of experience: October 2016 | 25-May-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | LET'S GO HOKIES! | If you are visiting Virginia Tech, you need to catch a game at Lane Stadium! Some of the best fans out there, you are guaranteed to have a great time. |
1,346 | Date of experience: October 2016 | 17-May-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | One of the Best Entrances in College Football | Provides a great atmosphere if the Hokies are winning. The team's entrance to Enter Sandman is one of the best in college sports. |
1,347 | Date of experience: October 2016 | 4-May-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Go Hokies! | Lane Stadium is the place to be on game day. There is good food & drinks. The stadium is clean & up to date. There are shops to buy Hokie shirts, hats, & other stuff.The team gives us a great time. We are the best fans in the game. |
1,348 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 14-Apr-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Enter Night | What better place to visit than Lane Stadium? During football season, no place rocks like Lane Stadium. Beware of sitting on the east side if it's hot and sunny. Beware of sitting on the west side if it's cold and rainy. |
1,349 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 5-Apr-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Good times! | The fan experience here gets 5 stars. The traditions associated with Hokie football at Lane Stadium are unforgettable. |
1,350 | Date of experience: August 2016 | 27-Jan-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 3 | Enter the Sandman | What can you say about a football stadium other than, "It's big." It's the VT fans that make it truly exciting. However, the seats are very uncomfortable. The sound system is good and the restrooms accessible. Food services are really bad, especially given that VT has the best food services of any campus in the nation. Drinks are expensive too. But, any game there is going to be a great one! |
1,351 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 21-Jan-17 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | A Must | If you have never been to a Virginia Tech football game then you have to put it on your bucket list. Atmosphere is unbelievable and the stadium is beautiful |
1,352 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 9-Dec-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Nothing but 5 stars for our Hokies | There really is no place like Lane Stadium for a college football game. We have been going to games for years, as my husband played there. However, this was the first time we actually tried walking around the entire stadium to stay warm, during half time. We didn't realize there were so many food options near the SE part of the stadium. You can find BBQ and other food vendors down there. You can actually walk around the entire stadium during the game. |
1,353 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 1-Dec-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | An absolute blast! | I can't think of anything more fun than jumping to Enter Sandman as the Hokies take the field! Lane Stadium is always filled with happy energy and smiling faces. You can't help but have a great time. |
1,354 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 27-Nov-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | As good as it gets in college football | If you are a fan of college football, then put this place on your list of "must do" destinations. These people are passionate about their team, and the pre-game rituals are as good as they get in sports. The place really fills up, and seems that they put out a good product on the field, too. |
1,355 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 22-Nov-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | No Better Place to Be! | Never miss a home game at Lane Stadium. When Enter Sandman starts the place starts jumping. Great atmosphere, great football. Whether you tailgate outside the stadium or hit a bar downtown..an experience you will not soon forget! |
1,356 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 14-Nov-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 4 | Great Stadium | This stadium is very well maintained. There is a great selection of food options to choose from. Great security and could not ask for a better experience. |
1,357 | Date of experience: November 2016 | 14-Nov-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Lane | Certainly, there is no other Virginia stadium that rocks and bounces with more electricity when about 65,000 Hokies fans come in to see our foorball team eke out another win. It is well laid out, easy to navigate, and there is no problem getting in and out of seats. You haven't experienced Blacksburg until you've been in Lane Stadium on Virginia Tech game day. |
1,358 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 3-Nov-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Best place ever!!! | Been a season ticket holder for over 20 years, and just finished getting my second generation Hokie out n 2013! |
1,359 | Date of experience: October 2016 | 17-Oct-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Enter Sandman!!! | The best atmosphere for a game, great food, convenient to 81, great weather in the fall, lots of fun for the kids |
1,360 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 17-Oct-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great Atmosphere | I've watched a lot of games here. Night games are electric and great to watch. Thursday night games are especially loud and fun to attend. |
1,361 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 16-Oct-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Homecoming 2016 | Getting in and out of the stadium, not the parking lot was easy and well organized. Although they now require a clear bag for anything you take into the stadium (no purses, fanny packs etc.) they have plastic bags at the entrances that they will give you to put your stuff in. Really nice! |
1,362 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 7-Oct-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Worth a Ride | Went to the VT/BC game last month and had a great time. Pretty nice stadium for a college team. Hard benches to sit on with no backs, but that is pretty standard in non pro locations. Had good seats so can't comment on views from up top. Good food choices if you walk around a little, including Buffalo Wild Things. Great video board and crowd excitement It was white effect day and they had V/T tee shirts for $6.00 to make sure white blanketed the stands. Guess overall it was worth the +10 hour drive. Funny thing was the game wasn't a sellout is a small town without much to do. |
1,363 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 27-Sep-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Great Venue | This was the first visit here in about 10 years and I was impressed with the improvements. The scoreboard is excellent with great video and probably the best audio I've heard compared to other stadiums. The facilities are well maintained and very clean. Good place to enjoy a Tech victory with 65,000 of your good friends |
1,364 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 25-Sep-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | AMAZING | Until you do it...words cannot describe it! Every person is in their VT wear! ( including babies ) great positive energy! |
1,365 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 24-Sep-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Always exciting | Never seems to fail to amaze, the crowd is terrific, always emotional when the planes fly over during the national anthem |
1,366 | Date of experience: September 2016 | 7-Sep-16 | ACC | Virginia Tech | 5 | Love this Venue! | Visited for the VT vs. Liberty Game. Stadium was clean, staff very pleasant. My favorite stadium by far! |
