21 Jaw-Dropping College Stadiums That Put Pro Arenas to Shame

14. Lane Stadium (Virginia Tech) – Blacksburg, Virginia

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lane Stadium is known for one thing above all else: the wildest entrance in college football. When Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” drops, the Hokie faithful erupt, and the ground practically shakes. With a capacity just over 65,000, it’s not the largest—but it’s one of the loudest. A recent wave of enhancements includes high-definition video boards, LED lighting, and upgraded sound systems, amplifying the electric pregame ritual. Lane Stadium is proof that atmosphere can outshine size—and few places bring the heat like Blacksburg on a Saturday night.
