TERRIBLE Lane Stadium Experience

I've been to several VA Tech games. First of all, you do know that the odd seats are usually to the left (I think,) and all the even seats are two the right. That means, if you are sitting in Row S, and you have seats 12 & 14, those two seats are side by side. If you have Row S, seats 12 & 13, then those seats are split up. I'm sure you had the right seats, but I wasn't sure if you knew that or not. Secondly, I wouldn't pay out money for lower level seats. Believe me, it is much more enjoyable to sit higher up to watch the games - not necessarily nose bleed sections, but you tend to get a better group of people to sit around, and the view isn't bad either. Thirdly, my first Tech game, we sat on the visitors side. From what I remember, I just didn't enjoy sitting over there nearly as much as sitting on the home side. It just seemed like there was a better group of people on the home side for some reason. We have even sat right beside of the student section. I can honestly say that I have never had a problem at VA Tech. I will say the space is cramped, but if you're used to going to an NFL game - especially some place like FEDEX, it's hard to expect the same type of "comfort" going to Lane Stadium.

As far as the drinking goes, that's par for the course at all colleges. The tailgating prior to the game is just as important as the game itself! Of course there is going to be alot of drinking prior to the game, and I'm sure people will sneak stuff into the game. I remember watching one older couple in front of me put a little something extra into their soft drinks. I have also witnessed the campus police and security arrest people for bringing the alcohol into the game too. I dare say, Tech probably isn't the only place this happens at.

The seats were not bad but I think the 2nd level would give a better view of the game. I know several people with season tickets and if they were having the same experence every game as you they would stop going.
