This is a really nice stadium. My buddy and I were visiting all the stadiums in the area came across the Virginia Tech one and it was awesome. We've got an opportunity to get on the field. read more

This is one of the most exciting places to take in a college football game. When the Hokies football team is playing well and the game intensity is at an all-time high, Lane Stadium is one of the loudest venues in the country. Being a Tech alum, I've attended plenty of games at Lane, and its environment is fun, welcoming and amazing. Although Tech fans want nothing more to see their Hokies win yet nearly all Hokie fans in attendance are respectful (and even friendly) towards their opponents (well, UVa may be an exception, haha). That vibe is contagious and it makes for an overall great experience. Lane Stadium can house 65,000 people - that's a lot! And when Metallica's "Enter Sandman" starts playing to signify the team's entrance it gets crazy. The entire complex is shaking because everyone is jumping up and down. I love it and I'm forever a fan just because of that. If you've never seen a game at Lane Stadium, and you're a college football fan, I urge you to do so. It is an incredible experience that you'll never forget! JV read more

Corp of Cadets rock! Would love to give it a 5 star (facility is nice). To many students left after first half to get a five star. A lot of people in the stadium did not wear orange (it's the orange effect). Heard to many times "I don't look good in orange. It is still an amazing place to watch a game and I would go every chance I get. read more

Came here for graduation. Even now only small clear bags are permitted so don't take your regular purse or bag, just like any sporting event. The stadium is laid out nicely and the bathrooms are large and clean. On the parking lot side under the VT wall are the elevators and stairs. With a handicapped sign you can park close. A few concessions were opened. Today was to be sunny and 85. Instead, thunderstorms delayed graduation. Then, the event began with cool sprinkles, and as the sky cleared it carried on. read more

Great place to watch a college game. First time here and was not disappointed. Very loud, but fun. Not a bad seat in the house. Good fans. Very friendly. We had an easy in and out of our parking. Do suggest you get their early read more

Lane Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Seems like a lot of these reviewers confuse school pride, or their sentiment of the football team, with a review of the physical stadium and its customer service. In the perspective of a college student who lives here...it's the nicest thing around. Keep in mind Blacksburg is pretty far removed from any major city or metro area, and Virginia as a whole doesn't have any pro sports teams...so naturally these facilities will be behind regions with longstanding established sports cultures. That being said the structure is clean and plain, the landscaping is charming, and concessions/customer service is underwhelming. read more

I know this is going to sound a little Hokie, but I love Lane down with you, it's one of my fave things, even if we're just cuddling. Or if we're doing other stuff, for example me heading south. You were yum when I met you, and you've Stadium all these years. Delish. Anyway. First-Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium - coming to see VA Tech play was one of the highlights of my college experiences. My friend (JC) attended this school, and he was lucky enough to see almost every game throughout his time here. I've only seen two, and one of them was a half-full stadium (because it wasn't VA Tech). But the time I saw "the real deal" I fell in love with it. Every time I come to the Blue Ridge Parkway, I make sure to drive to this stadium, park, and hang out for awhile and relive the memories. If you are lucky enough to come to a VA Tech game like I did, you will love it. One of the best stadiums and atmospheres in the country. I've been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I've toured America as a musician for 7 or 8 years. In that time, I've seen sports games at, or visited when empty (and usually both), at almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I will upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space! ***back to regular review*** So this is one of the best college stadiums there is. It's out in the middle of nowhere so it completely dominates the region and so be it. Blacksburg is tinier than, well, your ex. It seats nearly 70k and the crowd is very intense, especially when they're not thinking about Michael Vick's dogfighting exploits. It has the highest elevation of any "East Coast Area" stadium because it's up in the hills near the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can see the mountains from the upper seats. It's an amazing stadium on every level and deserves 5 stars. read more

Go Hokies! You won't have a better college football experience! Great stadium. Good view from everywhere.

Blacksburg is an awesome football town. Virginia Tech is a Tech-y kinda school. So why am I the first to do a Yelp review of the Home of the Hokies? Anyhoo, it's a pretty new stadium. They need TVs by the concessions on the even numbered side. I'm not a fan of the troughs in the mens bathroom. I agree with some Hokie fans that a Tech school needs more cool tech stuff like lasers or at least a synthesizer instead of just a canon and a band. I think that I would have given it four stars if they had more parking closer to stadium. My big question is why sell turkey legs at a Hokie (a turkey-like gobbler) game? read more

Lane Stadium is as good as it gets. Surrounded by beautiful Hokie Stone buildings and the lush Stadium Woods behind the East Stands, this venue is the perfect setting for a football game at any time. Concessions are great (gotta grab a turkey leg from underneath the South Endzone) and it's not difficult to sneak in a flask or a few airplane bottles for some extra fun during the game. This place is as loud as it gets for high-profile games and it's just a homey feeling stadium. Worth the trip from wherever you're coming from! read more

I don't quite understand how Lane Stadium can get anything less than 5 stars. I've spoken to many visiting fans, and they've all commented about the friendly atmosphere of that Lane Stadium and Blacksburg provide not just for the home team fans, but all fans. Ample parking lots where there are people posted all game day, clear walk ways straight to the stadium. When game day comes the place comes alive. Tons of great food options (including the legendary smoked gigantic turkey leg), hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, and anything else you could need. Make sure you're in your seats before the entrance, you don't want to miss "Enter Sandman" and the hokies running on to the field. Defensive 3rd downs are key plays, so make sure that you have those keys ready to help the defense out. Hokie pokie plays during the 4th. If you're not in the student section, make sure that you are ready climb the ramp or the stairs. Not many bad seats in the stadium. Have fun and go hokies! read more

Lane Stadium, the home of the Fightin' Gobblers...or Hokies of Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech has one of the more beautiful campuses in the country. The school is nestled next to the mountains and has a distinctive look for all of its buildings. They are all constructed of a grayish rock called "Hokie Stone." The stone is also used on the football stadium! It's a wonderfully uniform look and perfect for a school with such a rich history of military and engineering. Seeing a giant, stone stadium is very impressive. It's quite a sight and a nice contrast to the mostly metal structures that you see at big-time football schools. It's fairly good size as well. I would imagine that it seats 60,000-70,000 people. Frank Beamer has built quite a program at Virginia Tech. They are annual contenders for the ACC title and have put many players in the NFL during his watch. His achievements are nothing short of miraculous when you consider the weak football history of the school. My dad went to VT and I can remember attending games as a kid where we could choose where we wanted to sit. Now, LS is constantly sold out. There are some cool traditions to be aware of too. This has to be the only school in the country that sells its mascot as a snack. You can get a giant turkey leg at the concession stands. It's really good too! Also, you will do the Hokie Pokie in the stands. They have been doing it forever and it's quite a sight. Lane Stadium is one of the great spots to watch a college football game. Virginia Tech usually has a strong team and the campus is absolutely gorgeous. Grab a turkey leg and check it out sometime! read more

LETS GO HOKIES This stadium is huge but security is rude and not knowing of the student section rules. (They will not let you into the north end zone if you buy a ticket off of someone else) But the stadium's seats are comfortable and great environment for football games read more

The Hokie fans love their football. Great game day atmosphere. My group tailgated in the Prices Fork parking lot which is only located a few miles from the stadium. Plenty of room for us to setup the smoker and enjoy our tailgate. Even though we are Tar Heel fans we were welcomed and had playful banter throughout the day. The stadium itself is just big enough without being massive. Wifi is spotty but that is the case at most stadiums. All in all it is a nice stadium to catch a game. Really doesn't seem like a bad seat anywhere inside. read more

Lane Stadium is nestled away in the small town of Blacksburg, VA. It's a very conservative town and everyone dresses in camouflage as that's the fashion in these parts of Virginia. Game day experience includes eating your mascot - a big turkey. One can purchase a turkey leg for $10 and eat it cave-man style while watching a Hokie team that lacks any sense of an offense. Seriously. Virginia Tech has never had much of an offense excluding the days of one Michael Vick. the Hokies used to play stellar defense and special teams but have even taken a step back in those departments. The Hokies just aren't a very good team to watch. However, considering they're the only show in a one horse town, people go see them. The stadium is constructed using "hokie stone". I don't know what that is but it is quite beautiful. What the stadium loses in size (I'm of the South Eastern Conference persuasion where stadiums regularly exceed 90k capacity) it makes up with pretty looking bricks. The team comes out to "Enter Sandman" which is nice but it just doesn't scream long-standing tradition. Hokies often play on Thursday nights. Thursday is not Saturday and so it's very difficult to tailgate and enjoy the day gearing up for the game. It does, however, mean you can get this game out of the way to make room for more important games come Saturday. read more

Traveled here using a friend's tickets. Boldly dressed in our Alma Mater's gear (U. of Pitt) we strolled deep into Hokie season ticket holder territory. I was pleasantly surprised, in standard southern hospitality it felt as if we were watching the game with old friends despite our difference of opinion in teams. The college football experience in Blacksburg is great. Public parking is about 1 mile from the stadium but the easy access to 460 and traffic services made departing the area very easy. Sadly the score was the only miserable part of the trip... Maybe next year, Hail to Pitt! Center Sections - folding stadium seats 20 yard lines around the end zones - Bleacher Seats Bathrooms - troughs but smartly spaced for max use Concessions - standard stadium style read more

I went to this beautiful stadium as a UNC fan at coach beamer's last home game. The environment there is UNBELIEVABLE. After UNC beat the Hokies on their coaches last home game, you'd think that the VT fans would be mad and mean to the UNC fans, that's where your wrong. They were nothing but nice. Five Stars read more

What kinda communist, UVA loving, under-the-bridge troll wouldn't give Lane Stadium 5 stars? Hokie football, turkey legs, Skipper, 65000 fans all chanting LETS GO...HOKIES, it gives me chills just thinking about it! read more

Saw my beloved Maryland Terrapins defeat the Virginia Tech Hokies here in November 2013. As I entered the stadium, I was simply in awe of the student's jumping to Metallica's, "Enter Sandman." This stadium gets loud, folks. If you can't handle the noise, don't come here. All in all, it is a great place to see a football game. read more

Been to many stadiums in many states as a Hokie fan , and as bias as it may sound , none have matched our Lane Stadium. The entire environment surrounding the stadium is fanatic, clean , architecturally diverse and last but not least efficient! I can easily take my family to a game on whim , and still make it in and out of the crowd and back into the real world within record time . Concessions are consistently good , event staff always friendly . The crowds to and from the game are amazingly friendly and fun with no major trouble . Just walking the campus is wonderful, and then you make it into the stands and are simply amazed at the cleanliness, the friendly fans , you name it . If a sixth star was available I would have used it . read more
