Lane Stadium might not be the largest, but its "Enter Sandman" entrance is arguably the most electrifying in college football. When Metallica’s anthem drops, over 65,000 Virginia Tech fans jump in unison, literally shaking the ground and rattling opposing teams before kickoff against Virginia or Miami. This relentless energy, combined with the "Hokie Nation's" unwavering support and Lane's steep stands, generates an unbearable cacophony that makes it one of the loudest venues, pound-for-pound, in the country.
