A TRUE HOMEF I E LD ADVANTAGE
NO . 1
Best Homefield Advantage in College
Football (Rivals.com)
Lane Stadium doesn’t blow people away by the brute
strength of a massive stadium, but with knowledgeable fans
that always reach a frenzied pitch at the right time, the Hokies
make the most of their numbers.
Every good stadium has at least one end designed for
deafening noise levels, and the enclosed South End Zone at
Lane Stadium fits the bill perfectly. Holding more than 11,000
screaming Virginia Tech fans, the section amplifies noise and
renders audibles useless. That’s not to mention the isolation
factor. With the nearest major airport nearly 45 minutes away,
opponents’ fans are never out in force at Lane Stadium.

Scariest Venue for Opposing Teams
(ESPN the Magazine)
The two loudest places I’ve ever seen a game are Lane
Stadium and the Orange Bowl, but the Hokies’ home crowd is a
lot more consistent. The whole place rocks when they crank up
“Enter Sandman.” I remember watching a decent BC team go
there on a Thursday night and completely melt down.

This entrance is one of the purest slices of Americana you will
ever experience.
