Lane Stadium

Lane Stadium contains 65,632 seats spread across multiple levels, with luxury suites and a modern press box on the western side of the facility.

Construction started in 1964 after Stuart Cassell proposed replacing Miles Stadium, with Edward H Lane contributing to raise 3 million dollars for the project.

The Virginia Tech Hokies football team enters the field while Metallica's Enter Sandman plays, creating an intense start to each home game.

The stadium features wheelchair accessible seating areas, multiple concession stands, and a high definition video screen measuring 108 feet in length.

Located at 2,057 feet above sea level, this facility held the record for highest elevation among Football Bowl Subdivision stadiums in eastern United States until 2014.
