Lane Stadium (Virginia Tech)

Not a fan of this one. The exterior looks horrible and i hate when the endzone stands are seperate from the rest of the bowl.

OVERRATED!!

Let the WVU fans talk all the trash they want! Ya see all the pretty woman in WV are tourist, The state flower is a Satellite Dish , and do ya know how the celebrate Halloween???? They Pump-kin!!! So let them talk smack about how good their team is......we all know they dont a damn thing else to be proud of! OHHHHH and who has the Black Diamond ya buncha toothless wonders???

Loudest and most intense stadium in the country. Whoever disagrees needs to go to a game.

Where is that Black Diamond trophy?

OVERRATED, even with a one star

lane stadium is a horrible venue.  getting in and out of there is terrible.  terrible views from upper levels.  tailgating is awful, cheese and wine crowd.  mountaineer field is as large 61000 to 65000, went to games at lane in the 80's and 90's where wvu out drew vt at lane.  been successful just since around 93.  before, no tradition.  their modern fans seem to forget before then they were horrible and wvu had to beg for them to get in the big east.  nobody wanted them.  no crowds and horrible facilities.  which cassel col. still is terrible, lane has improved some, but for people to come on here and say how great it is, come on, no great tradition when a 12 year old has seen all their great moments.

If you like to watch pre-destined convicts in action???Then this is the place to be. Nowhere else in the world can you sit and soak in the thuggish play of  more future felons on one field.They've produced award winners such as Michael Vick and his brother Marcus. Michael Vick has recently came to be known as a secret "Dog-Killer" and even hosted the events at his own residence. His brother Marcus is noted for stomping on a downed opponents knees, flipping off fans, and staying high. The statement I'm about to make sums it all up: "You can't spell Convict with out the VT".

The new west side of Lane is awesome. Arial shots of the stadium are gorgeous. Inside there is not a bad seat as there are no seats that are in corners of the stadium. Of course the atmoshpere is what college football is all about. Look for a new north endzone complex to be built inside the next 6 or so years that will really make this one of the top 10 stadiums in the country. Current seating is 66,233. With the new north endzone complex is will jump to about 73,500.

It is rather ironic but this item was the subject of a ratings war about a year ago.  More than 190 postings show up here!

loudest and best stadium in the country

West Virginia fans are the biggest bunch of idiots I've ever seen. We are talking about the stadium, not the football team. Plus, last time I checked, Pacman Jones and Chris Henry both went to WVU and are bigger thugs than Marcus Vick, if that's even possible. Anyway, Lane Stadium is a great place to see a football game if you are a true diehard football fan. Not the most attractive place, but this is pound-for-pound the loudest and most intense place you will go to. If you're a wine-cheese-pansy-wahoo type of person, I would avoid coming to a game down here, because you will probably have a heart-attack when "Enter Sandman" starts blarring over the P.A. Oh yeah, and for you Wahoowa05, have you ever walked around our campus on a weekday? There really aren't too many rednecks around here. Sorry, wrong answer dumbass.

this stadium sucks

Richmond, VA represent! Lane Stadium is easily the loudest venue I've been to, hands down, no contest. I wish Carter-Finley could get somewhere in the same ballpark as loud - We mainly lack in the number of hardcore fans. So, I have nothing against WVU (and i think the rivalry is great), other than that West Virginia fans rag on Frank Beamer for no good reason other than the scar on his neck... Bottom line: Beamer is a god. I don't give 2 damms if anyone makes fun of Chuck Amato (b/c I want Bill Cowher as head coach), but you can't touch Beamer. He's immortal. Oh yeah, MARCUS VICK DOESN'T GO TO VTECH ANYMORE. Find a new subject

on Thursday nights the opposing team better be ready........ to head to the bus. I am a true hokie fan, but i do hate marcus vick - he is a thug, but that does not take anything away from the stadium, it is a great atmosphere.

Love the fans and just the roar of the crowd when Hokies step on the field...alot of people are not crazy about this team, but the fans sure know how to tailgate!!!

See comment on W. Virginia.

Marcus is a pedofile...glad sweet potato neck finally got his head out of his ass and let him go.

Marcus was a terrible QB. His defense saved is ass in the gator bowl. Your stadium sucks too.

Marcus used a gun to buy a Happy Meal!! LMAOOOOOOOO!!

Hokie fans are queer.

Yo Quiero 12 or 13 year old girls??

Marcus is a pedofile. Hide your 12 year olds.

Marcus Vick is a convicted pedofile.

VT Chokies sucks balls!! Frank Beamer has a giant sweet potato on his neck!

WVU sucks ass and that is coming from a west virginian lol...no doubt about it im a true hokie fan...theres no other coach like beamer, hes the man!!

RichardVT is gay like all Hokies. VT fans are so jealous of WVU. We have been great for ages and they have only been heard of or had decent teams since 97. I'm so glad Miami beat their butts and it was great to see that pedofile get his head knocked into the turf. LOL Hey, we own VT 28-21 LOL

Rated #1 by Rivals.com, this is what it's all about. The fanbase knows the players' names by heart, are extremely pumped at the home games, and truly become the "12th man." Sets the bar for the standard.

Lane Stadium wsa designed by VDOT Four Blocks of concrete, They call it a stadium?

West Virginia fans disgruntled that there are no couches in Lane which would make it so much easier for them.

if you want to shake your car keys and be surrounded by rednecks this is your stadium!

Sucks!! They got waxed at home to Miami and those turkeys cried their eyes out!! Hilarious!!! Enjoy your 2nd tier bowl!! LMAOO!! Is Marcus listed as a sexual offender in the database??

I live in Christiansburg and I must say I hate living here, Living in Southwest Virginia is a horrible expierence. I am a Ex-VT fan who used to enjoy Lane. I choose to no longer attend games or root for the Hokies. The image branded on this area due to previous events is sickening. Marcus Vick and the fans make Lane a horrible place to be!

Turkey crap all over. Marcus Vick is a pedofile.

They have the internet in West Virginia now?

the best staium ive ever been to. the place gets rockin for enter sandman when the team comes in. WVU is mad they cant beat us at home like we did to them. GO HOkies. do i smell roses???

Doesn't deserve 1 star. Marcus Vick should be in jail....damn pedofile!

this place sucks, the seats are awful and their fans are the most classless pussies on the face of the planet, dont take you 12 year old daughter their qb might try to sodomize her

Terrible stadium. A bunch of queer ass turkeys running around grabbing guys asses.

this is the freakin best stadium in the world and i dont care who u r. no team on the face of the earth can come into tech and win on a thursday night because of the atmosphere. haha to all the other sucky stadiums.haha

It sucks!! Queer asshole fans...wooden bleachers?? They try and copy WVU's sucess in everything. They plain out suck and their qb is a pedofile.

Best in the country! Beat WVpew!!

One is being generous. The fans are punks...most of them very gay. I thought I was in San Francisco.

it's a pit and the fans are looking to pick a fight with every opposing team's fan they can. Here's a link to some pics showing how they treat visitors there. I think this guy is a former or current player because his VT T-shirt has a number "94" on the back. Real nice way to treat opposing fans... http://westvirginia.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=33&m; id=58495003&sid;=&tid;=58495003&style;=1

Nothing will ever beat this place for me... and honestly of all the places I've been it hasn't been beat yet. There is nothing like the deafening noise that is produced during a night game at Lane, and now that the new west side is done, Lane will be untouchable. Untouchable fans, untouchable players, UNTOUCHABLE STADIUM.

haha we are well on are way to a national championship baby!!!! Its Awesome with a capital A!!!

you can't even hear yourself think when this place erupts!

Haters from the backwoods are trying to kill this stadiums rating. I've never even seen it, so I guess I'll give a three to mess with the haters. UPDATE: The petty garbage continues, I see.

Cannot get past the smell of the cattle and pigs. It is also too close to the law school and medical school. Oh, thats right they don't have a law or medical school.
