As a Virginia Tech Alumni, I went to every single home game during my four years at VT. My freshman year at VT was the year we went to the National Championship game against FSU with Michael Vick as our quarterback. I have also been to pro-football games. I can absolutely assure you, without a doubt, NOTHING beats the energy of a huge college football game, and Virginia Tech ALWAYS brings that energy. The Enter Sandman entrance, experienced live at Lane Stadium, is unlike any other experience you can imagine. It is a beast of adrenaline and tradition. As a freshman in college, I was spoiled. I was spoiled by Michael Vick's Houdini-like ability to avoid tackles. I was spoiled by win-after-win, often by overwhelming scores. I was spoiled by seeing the ESPN College Football tv crew appearing at nearly all of our games, as if this were just normal. And I was spoiled by our one-of-a-kind Enter Sandman entrance. I was too young and it was too overwhelming for me to really comprehend how unique that experience was. I can look back on it now and recognize how amazing it was and how fortunate I was to have that experience multiple times over four years. Thank you VT!
The jumping and massive chanting is something that keeps me coming back to my sports team Feyenoord Rotterdam. The electrifying energy is addictive. Sounds like you had a tremendous time.
@@soniashultis9111 Glad to hear feedback from another VT classmate from my year. Not sure how to answer your first question... Message me privately maybe?
And this is why college football is 10 times better than the NFL it’s all about passion and brotherhood and wanting to win. They’re doing it because they love the game not because they want to get paid
As a die hard Tennessee fan. I have no problem admitting that no one has a better entrance than Virginia Tech. Many years ago, I didn't know about their entrance yet. The first one I witnessed, has yet to be upstaged. Michael Vick was their QB and they had a big opponent coming in for a night game. As the song started, Vick was shaking the Virginia Tech flag as the team were waiting to come out of the tunnel. The fans were so into it, you thought they were going to cause the stadium to collapse. I remember the ESPN announcer going beserk and talking about how many chill bumps he had all over his body..lol..Respect to the Hokies.
I can't count how many college & pro football games I've attended but I'm telling you...being there to witness this atmosphere in person is like NONE OTHER!!! Even if you're not there for VA Tech you'll be jumping around singing like a mad person! Awesome experience!
Ikr I would love to go see them play in person it looks so freaking awesome it would be a great honor to jump n go crazy when they play enter sandman at a VA Teach game
@ Christopher Lentz Nor do I want to. LSU has NOTHING on VT entrance ! Unless it registers as a freakin EARTHQUAKE on a seismograph machine, U have NOTHING on VT !!!
I've been fortunate to see many college football entrances. Virginia Tech is hands down the best adrenaline pumping Game Time Team Entrance in the Country!
Buddy of mine was the starting punter at tech from 01-04. He always tried to explain to me how absolutely crazy this feeling was walking into this mad house. Especially the 03 game against Miami.
Im from London lived in Roanoke and had the best times I've ever had in my life at Virginia Tech!! Such an amazing place and such amazing, incredible people!! LETS GO HOKIEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Been to several games there when my daughter was a student. Videos don't do it justice. It is beyond LOUD, wild, electric, amazing! The stadium literally vibrates and shakes. The sound is so loud it usually registers on a seismic meter too. Never experienced anything like it!
Had the chance to see the Hokies play last year vs ODU. I've seen the tigers run down the hill at Clemson and song the War Hymn at A&M, BEST ENTRANCE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!
Greatest game I've ever been to was in 2003. Miami came to Blacksburg. I've never heard the stadium be so loud. Even before we started jumping everybody was going nuts. Miami was ranked #2 at the time but they may as well had stayed in the bus, they got absolutely destroyed
Going into my sophomore year at VT... there was nothing like the UNC game this past year. Forming the tunnel pre game and being on field after the win made me into a football fan. The energy was insane!!
I remember watching it on TV just cause it was some football game on TV and I had nothing better to do. Still to this day, this was the best football intro I had ever seen and I still get goosebumps when I go back and see it.
I went to Ohio State but currently live in Blacksburg. This is the best entrance in college football with the exception of the Penn State White Out Game. I can not wait until the season is back again. Absolute electricity.
This is such an insane thing to experience. Even if you don’t like VT, absolutely recommend going to a game just for this. Super lucky as a student I’ve gotten to do this :)
I love it. As a canes fan... it’s such a pain to play against and it’s not something you can emulate. Blacksburg is a very special place under the lights
I love it it’s my type of energy I would Go crazy at a Virginia teach football game bc I love music like this idc who love this coming from a Georgia Bulldogs fan
I remember saying it at the time: "This is undoubtedly the best entrance scene in all of football. The problem for Va Tech is eventually they have to kick off." Clemson won this game handily. Style is cool, but substance wins. BTW...Clemson has the 2nd best entrance scene (No, I'm not a Clemson fan). I can't wait for full stadiums again
@@henrymanzano2201 lmao thats the question our lifes. When I think I'm just a young 42 year old I realize my son will graduate next year, ive been married for 18 years, been at my job 20 years, and been graduated for close to 23 years. I will say I did love having an older brother because the 80s had some great music and he shared it with me
My family and extended family are VT alumni and there is no home game, college or pro, like the experience at Lane Stadium! They actually effect the Richter Scale. What other team can claim that!
CZcams sent me here. I know nothing about college football. This is the best entrance in all sport. No pro team in any sport anywhere in the world has an entrance like this. Imagine they slowly dimmed the lights as the entrance approached and pulsed the floodlights on the beat. Then full lights on the field as they finally enter.
Before 9/11 happened my best friend and I made fake field passes and would sneak onto Neyland stadium. Well the opening game of 2001 a week before 9/11 we were down on the field and they started forming the famed T. Man Phillip Fulmer ran by leading the players out and we fell into the team and ran through with them. It's a miracle we didn't get trampled. That was so much adrenaline I don't even remember running through it with the beast of athlete's that we were running with. Later on I found myself in a pictorial book called running through the T and there I am standing in the middle of those guys at 14 years old and a camo duck hunt hat on. Let me remind you this was when Vols we're still rocking and 3 years after a national title.
Entrance-wise, yeah, this is the best. But overall tradition-wise, Jump Around at Camp Randall is probably my favorite. And I’d still put both of those above running under the M Go Blue banner at the Big House, and I’m a Michigan fan saying that.
BOOMER SOONER BABY!!! I gotta give it to ya on this VA Tech ya killed it! Had me wanting to tackle my wife's grandmother in the kitchen just now. Lol, it would've been even better if the damn announcers didn't ruin the surprise by announcing what was about to play before it happened. Next time keep them out of it! Lol
1990 called...it wants its video quality back. Queue MNF...."Come on, man!! 360P??" But, yeah....it's on my bucket list to see a VT game live. Nothing in sport comes close to VT taking the field, for atmosphere.
"You've seen Enter Sandman - but not like this." - Yeah, 360p baby!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! That got me rolling. Nice.
yeah here i am at 230 AM trolling youtube and really i dont laugh much but that was funny....lmfao
Pain
@@luridvexation8596 lmfao same
Underrated comment right here 💪❤️
Not a VT fan but this entrance gives me chills every single time
Damn. It’s hard not to get pumped up after an entrance like that.
My university years are long behind me. I rarely watch college football. But tonight, I just became a Virginia Tech fan.
Welcome to Hokie Nation!

Let’s go Blacksburg
Who dis? I was a freshman when Vick went to the Sugar Bowl! And I share your sentiments exactly. Let's Go.... HOKIES!!!🦃🏈🏟️

You’ve never been to LSU then lol

Without "The Man With No Name" it will NEVER be the best!

Right idk why people thinks Clemson have the best entry over Virginia teach smh

This makes me hate covid even more
Same
Don’t Worry Vaccines To The Rescue!
@@miguelsandoval1985 Yeah, whatever.
@@miguelsandoval1985 And what a great job they did...
By far the best entrance in sports!!! Im from va and this makes me proud😂😂😂😂😂😂
this is a bucket list item that everyone needs to experience. nothing like it.
It would be awesome to see Metallica play this live when they enter the field
in eb tunning
@@woowwiki7532and with Jason Newsted
Ive been waiting so long for Metallica to do this, it would be the most electric VaTech has ever been
And not even tell the players, they just run out and they’re surprised by the band rocking out mid field
Im from London lived in Roanoke and had the best times I've ever had in my life at Virginia Tech!! Such an amazing place and such amazing, incredible people!! LETS GO HOKIEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Damn is this 🔥🔥🔥🔥, best entrance in football period, sincerely a Penn State fan. PSU & then Clemson follows
Bro!!!... Literally covered in goosebumps head to toe!!!!! OMFG🤯🤯🤯🤯💀💥💥💥💥💥💥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

When it comes college football I'm proud to be an hokie fan. GOBBLE GOBBLE!!
Litty
Dees Nuts!!! Go Canes!!! Just kidding, you guys have THE BEST ENTRANCE EVER!!! Especially since everyone has ripped off our running through the smoke.
You Hokies are crazy! I love it! ❤️

The only true way to experience this is on the field where all the sound is traveling to. I hope one day to be on the field for this intro
I saw Metallica August 14, 2022 in Pittsburgh at PNC park and they kicked ass I’ve heard Enter Sandman live and it was amazing!!🤘🎸🤘🎸
This is why college football fucking rules!!
I remember watching it on TV just cause it was some football game on TV and I had nothing better to do. Still to this day, this was the best football intro I had ever seen and I still get goosebumps when I go back and see it.
Been to 21 NFL games, over 55 CFB games. Tech by far has the best atmosphere
Chills
Gives me chills, so cool.
Good thing it's an engineering school. Amazing the stadium can handle tens of thousands jumping up and down in unison.
Greatest college football entrance of all time, period.
Absolutely!!
Nothing like COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!
So outshines the NFL.
LOVE IT!!!!!
YEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH
I’m a die hard WVU fan and anytime we play VT I wanna beat them bad but this is the best entrance in all of college sports!
Never gets old
Wow! I had no idea college football was THIS lit! What an intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can’t wait anymore because of COVID but I’m getting season tickets for 21-22
Can you imagine just how raucous the Tech crowd would be if the Hokies were a top 5 team in the country?
We were for a long time, got the right coaching staff in place now. We’ll be back really strong. It’s a great time to be a Hokie
I live right up the street for 25 yrs n it’s still awesome!!! Only thing that could make it better is new coaches bring winning back !!! Go Hokies !!!
2:17… the chills begin..
As a UNC fan, this is the best intro of all time
Can't imagine entering to this as a freshman in their first game. I'd either run through a wall or crap myself ;)
I went to Ohio State but currently live in Blacksburg. This is the best entrance in college football with the exception of the Penn State White Out Game. I can not wait until the season is back again. Absolute electricity.
It will never get better than this in college football. Go Dawgs!
As a random LSU fan, this makes me want the Hokies to have a hell of a season
First time I see this, prety nice.
This to me represents AMERICA 🇺🇸.. love Canada.
I swear it sounded like the guy said “ honkies on three…1 2 3 HONKIES!”
BRILLIANT!!!!!
This is such an insane thing to experience. Even if you don’t like VT, absolutely recommend going to a game just for this. Super lucky as a student I’ve gotten to do this :)
Haven’t went to a game this year because Covid but when you do be prepared the stadium shakes and it gets loud
I love it. As a canes fan... it’s such a pain to play against and it’s not something you can emulate. Blacksburg is a very special place under the lights
I love it it’s my type of energy I would Go crazy at a Virginia teach football game bc I love music like this idc who love this coming from a Georgia Bulldogs fan
The shaking stands makes it so fun honestly, hard to stand for sure with everyone moving around you but it just adds so much to the experience :)
This gives me fucking chills every time
As someone who wants to go to USC, this is the most badass way to start a football game, Virginia tech is low key good
Agree
it is my DREAM to walk that tunnel and play on that field going into highschool next year gonna start working my butt off to walk that tunnel
This is dope. Every time I hear this song I will always think of Mariano Rivera tho
Never get tired if watching this!
How could you not be ready after this
GO HOKIES!!! Love that entrance!!
This is so AWESOME!!
This was rad. Thanks.
Outstanding

Ok? This will be and always will be the best entrance of all time in sports history
Imagine this when they are at The National Championship Game
That was so Awsome it brought tears😂😎😂
Awesome
Holy Goosebumps!!!
Go Penn State Nittany Lions! Big 10 NCAA College Football is where it’s at here!
gave me goosebumps
this fired me right upppppppppp
Just imagine if they played Virginia Teach enter sandman live
Tommy Dreamer has goosebumps
I was planning on making the trip to see Penn State play there in 2020. You can guess how disappointed I am about that now
I was at that game😁
Which one
The okie stone..
Let's makes a fkn impression!!
Just realized this, Enter Sandman is classic rock now.
God I feel old lol
Lol, I had just finished high school when "Enter Sandman" came out. Definitely iconic to this day. Feeling way old now,thanks,lol 😒😮💨😆

Nice fireworks

Wow amazing I'm a wvu fan but this entrance was amazing
This is EPIC 🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

OFF TO NEVER-NEVER LAND
Imagine the opponent entering with 'Welcome to the Jungle' intro song.
I don't even know this team but I'm rooting for them
Holy s***!
1990 called...it wants its video quality back. Queue MNF...."Come on, man!! 360P??" But, yeah....it's on my bucket list to see a VT game live. Nothing in sport comes close to VT taking the field, for atmosphere.

BAD ASS!!!
USA Soccer Could Use This Song For The World Cup Someday.
Next to the “Whiteout” at Penn State this is awe inspiring.
I hope they bring Sandman to the Whiteout during the intros.
