BLACKSBURG, Va โ On Saturday night, the Virginia Tech Hokies will take the field for their first game of the season at Lane Stadium.
Any other year, Hokie fans would tell you canโt have football without tailgating, Enter Sandman and a stadium full of cheering students.
โCollege football and game day and tailgating is such a deep valued tradition here at Virginia Tech we always look forward to the fall to be able to do that weโve been doing it for decades, but this is an unusual year,โ Virginia Tech Spokesperson Mark Owczarski said.
Because of COVID-19, there will be several health precautions and restrictions when the Hokies take the field against NC State.
Virginia Tech leaders agree that they are looking forward to the day when things can return to normal, but safety is the top priority for now.
