There are few college football traditions that can rival what goes down at Blacksburg every season. Virginia Tech’s “Enter Sandman” entrance during every home game never fails to deliver goosebumps as thousands of fans at Lane Stadium rock out to Metallica. This season was no different.
The Virginia Tech faithful were as raucous as ever as the Hokies hosted Old Dominion in their season opener. Take a look at their entrance to “Enter Sandman,” something fans heard for the first time in a year.

Whatever motivational tactics Virginia Tech head coach Brent Pry might have used on his players before the game were undoubtedly amplified by that first run through the tunnel.
The raucous VT crowd got the result that they were hoping for as the Hokies ran away with a 36-17 win over Old Dominion to start off their campaign.
Virginia Tech has used “Enter Sandman” as their college football entrance song for over two decades. It was first heard blaring within Lane Stadium on August 27, 2000, when the Hokies faced off against Georgia Tech.
