About

Virginia Tech Hokies Football at Lane Stadium

Few teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision have as much of an illustrious history as the Virginia Tech Hokies. Whether it's the storied tradition of winning ACC championships, sending a plethora of players to the NFL, or "The Beamer Ball"--named after Hall of Fame coach Frank Beamer--the Hokies are one of the NCAA's signature programs. Entering 2023, the Hokies are led by second-year head coach, Brent Pry, who is tasked with returning the Blacksburg team back to their winning reputation.

Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia is known as one of the best home field advantages in all of college football. While it's neither the biggest nor the loudest stadium East of the Mississippi River, Lane Stadium might be the rowdiest. The student section at Lane is known for bringing the energy throughout the entire game, creating an intimidating atmosphere for opponents. One of the Hokies' traditions for home games is right before kickoff when Metallica's "Enter Sandman" is played over the PA, creating a wall of noise that sets the tone early.

Virginia Tech Hokies Football History

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, commonly known as Virginia Tech, had their first season of organized football in 1892 as an unaffiliated independent team. Since their first season, the Hokies have accumulated more than 700 wins as a program (23rd all-time), appeared in 33 bowl games, and were a National Semifinalist as a runner-up in the 2000 BCS National Championship Game.

The cornerstone of the program was Frank Beamer, who was head coach of the Hokies from 1987-2015. Beamer was known for his coaching and recruiting prowess, and his teams' gritty special teams play. He coached the Hokies to 23 consecutive bowl games, in addition to five ACC Coastal Division Championships and three ACC Championship Game wins (2007, 2008 and 2010). Beamer also led the Hokies to seven New Year's Six bowl game appearances between 2004 and 2011, including Peach and Orange Bowl wins.

Virginia Tech's main rivals in the ACC are the Virginia Cavaliers, the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Miami Hurricanes, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and the Boston College Eagles.

    Great game

    by WVUMark on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    It was a great game - although I do wish the outcome was a little different. Any and all issues I can come up with are directly related to the stadium. Basically it stinks. The ONLY saving grace was that we were sitting in the Club Seats. Aside from that, the place is a dump. It's near impossible to get to, parking was a disaster due to no or VERY poor direction and getting out, well, forget about that. The game was a 4*, the venue a 1*.

    If only I could award ZERO stars!

    by Hammerman666 on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    Traffic control into the stadium was the worst I've ever seen at a Professional Football Field. Over 1 hour to travel less than 5 miles! Parking was horrible! Bought the appropriate ticket for Orange D Parking and being unfamiliar with the venue I asked an attendant where Orange D was located. The attendant's answer, "You can park anywhere." I persevered and eventually found Orange D (located closer to the stadium than the "park anywhere" response from the attendant). Parking was essentially uncontrolled and haphazard. Cars were parked using multiple spaces and masses of people were standing unmoving in the driving aisles making maneuvering to find a parking space untenable. Absolutely no parking attendants to be found in the lots to provide any control. 10 minutes before halftime the wife and I went to one of the concessions to retrieve some refreshments. I'm 62 years old and was carded. No problem, I provided my picture ID and the attendant starred at it for several minutes. I asked it there was a problem and she said she can't find the dates. I told her it was a Military ID and the dates are on the back. She looked at the back and violently thrust the stiff edge of the card back into my hand, pushing my hand back to my body. I said what's up with that? And she shouted, "Your are rude!" At this point I said I'm leaving as I would not eat here if you paid me. FOLLOW-UP: I went Customer Service and reported the incident. They were appalled! I look forward to a future response (they have my contact information). BOTTOMLINE: The absolute WORST experience ever at a Pro Football Stadium! Parking was a joke, parking attendants were of absolutely no help. Concession staff was tremendously slow and horrendously RUDE. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE GO TO FedEx FIELD. I GIVE MY HIGHEST NOT RECOMMENDED RATING TO THE VENUE!!!!!!!!!

    VT vs WVU

    by mss60 on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    Game great. We win. Getting parked aweful. No police directing traffic. Parking lots do not open till 330pm for a 8pm game. Traffic control horrible. Some did not get parked till 630pm. Sat in traffic for over three hours an was in line by 2pm. The venue inside is bad. Rip off on beer. Tennessee game much better an drinks cheaper. Some seats in stadium were broken an people could not sit down. Terrible area for a college game. The atmosphere for college is totally different than pro games. Should never hold a college game there unless get parking control going and allow lots to open at 12pm.

    Game was great ingress to stadium was horrific

    by HokieFan67 on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    It amazes me that a stadium that has been around over 15 years still cannot get people in to the parking lots in a reasonable amount of time. This is not the case at Redskins games but happens every time Virginia Tech plays at the stadium. The FedEx staff is never prepared for the crowd that shows up to tailgate. Parking lot attendants blamed new technology but I thought the purpose of technology was to speed things up not slow them down.

    Need to do better

    by MingMinor on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    This was as bad of an experience as I've had at a sporting event. 2 hour wait in traffic to get into the stadium, 30+ minute wait to get in the game...it was a circus.

    Fed Ex

    by TravisP77 on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    Overall, we had a good experience and although our seats were high up we had a great view of the game. The initial parking situation was atrocious! I have been to a lot of events at a lot of different venues and I have even been here for a football game or two before and the parking was never this bad. It was horrible getting into the parking areas and very confusing/chaotic.

    VA Tech vs West VA

    by Anonymous on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    Great location for neutral game for West Va vs VA Tech. Prices were little high for tickets and food. Great getting out of the game and getting in could have been a little better. Overall very fun game and location was very good.

    Horrible from the start!

    by Wvufan83 on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    We arrived over 2 hours early for the game. Paid $80 for parking in advance. Get to the lot and there are no available spaces. Had to pay again further down the road for parking. Arrive at the stadium with almost an hour to spare. Stand in line to get in over an hour at the ticket gate. Missed half of the first quarter. Horrible experience!!!!

    Parking Nightmare!!

    by wvurdking on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    The game was great except for the final score.But how can a stadium with FOUR entrances to the parking lot's (4 to 5 lanes at each one) take 1 and 1/2 hours to go basically one mile? The civil engineers and architects who designed all this get an F! The people who manage the parking lots and traffic flow get an F!! Stadium not much better. You have been warned.

    Three hours to park

    by GnoRules on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    The game itself was great, however the parking was the worst I've ever seen for any sports event. We spent three hours just trying to get into the parking lot and there was no order to the parking.

    Terrible Parking Lot

    by NOTAFAN21 on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    It took 3 hrs to get into the parking lots. Paid $54 for a pass and didn't get to tailgate because of the inefficient parking lot attendants or lack of. It was total chaos. Only three roads into the stadium. And no traffic control. Never have I seen a more worse parking situation,

    Fed Ex Field was disappointing

    by Venueletdown on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    The WVU vs VA Tech game was fine. The refs were awful, but not much to be done about that. My group was extremely disappointed in Fed Ex Field. Our seats were terrible. Halfway up a section in a tunnel with concrete pillars obstructing views, TV screens with the Orioles game on, couldn't hear anything (band, announcers), couldn't see the Jumbotron, and difficult to watch the game on the field so we had to rely on the TV monitors (which were showing the game) on a 5 second delay. I would never recommend this venue to anyone. Our seats were not worth $50, let alone the $145 we paid like other seats in the stadium with unobstructed views. The map on Ticketmaster did not give any indication how bad these seats and views were. And, it's too bad, cause my dad is a big Redskins fan, so we were all looking forward to his experience at his favorite team's stadium, only to be let down.

    Getting in to park should not take 2.5 hours. Very poor layout.

    Parking lot fiasco

    by Tenorsaxmom on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    I do not know how this stadium hosts thousands of people each week. Getting to our parking lot was a nightmare. I arrived 5 minutes before the gates were to open and sat without moving on Redskins Drive for 40 minutes. Cars were going around everyone that was waiting in their assigned lanes. Cop cars were blocking a lane and no police assistance was anywhere to be found. The driver next to me was screamed at by a crossing guard cop to keep moving and told it doesn't matter what lot you are in. Everyone in my group of friends was an hour or more late in arriving because of the parking jam. Then getting into the stadium was another 30 minute wait. While people get wanded for having nothing and others walk in with a 6 pack of beverages. The staff at this venue seemed very unprepared and oblivious to the crowd.

    WVU vs VT

    by GlenGenny on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    Loved our Dream Seats and the view. Parking was a bit confusing as to where to park that would have been closest to our seats.

    Parking Lot Traffic is a Joke

    by 904304 on 9/6/17FedExField - Landover

    Total gridlock entering venue. Spent over an hour on Redakins Road to go less than a half mile. Finally reached the choke point which was approx 8 people checking parking passes for 20k vehicles. Little police presence to assist traffic. All compounded by the fact that Metro shut down before the game was over. I and thousands more would have used Metro if available. It felt like there was no one from the stadium or local police that even knew there was a game that night.

    Driving in and out was a nightmare. Overall the stadium wasn't that bad. Atmosphere was amazing.
