29. Lane Stadium — Virginia Tech (65,632)

Nestled in the picturesque mountains of Blacksburg, Virginia, Lane Stadium is the home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. With a seating capacity of 65,632, this stadium is renowned for its electric atmosphere, especially during night games. The tradition of entering to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” has become one of the most iconic entrances in college football, sending Hokies fans into a frenzy and shaking the stands with energy. Opened in 1965, Lane Stadium combines modern facilities with a deep sense of tradition. Fans clad in maroon and orange create an intimidating environment for opponents, particularly in the storied "Beamer Ball" era under legendary coach Frank Beamer. Surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lane Stadium offers a unique and unforgettable game-day experience.
