Dear Virginia Tech football fans,
I hear thousands of you are headed for Norfolk this weekend to watch the Hokies take on Old Dominion. And although the stadium here is far smaller than Lane Stadium, I can promise you the atmosphere will be better than what you experience at many ACC road games.
ODU’s Foreman Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium seats just 20,118, but the fans get revved up. It’s an intimate stadium with acoustics that seem to amplify crowd noise.
This won’t be like visiting Boston College, Pitt or North Carolina, where often more than half of the seats are empty.
