If you haven’t been to Lane Stadium to hear Virginia Tech Hokies fans rock out to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” then you haven’t lived.
The tradition, which dates back 15 years, is the ultimate pump-up for fans and players alike, as the former cheers on the team while they run through the tunnel onto the field. Although its initial intent for use was based around finding a way to utilize a new scoreboard, it’s now become a college football tradition that is unlike many others.
Check out how electric the atmosphere was when the Hokies stepped onto the field to square off against the No. 1-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Monday night.
