Lane Stadium is one of the highest-elevation stadiums in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision.
Lane Stadium serves as the home field for the Virginia Tech Hokies football team in Blacksburg, Virginia. Opened in 1965, the stadium features Worsham Field and currently maintains a seating capacity of approximately 65,000 spectators. The venue is widely recognized for the 'Enter Sandman' entrance tradition, which triggers seismic activity recorded by local seismographs. It is positioned at an elevation of 2,100 feet above sea level. The stadium complex includes the Merryman Athletic Center and the Jamerson Athletic Center. The playing surface is natural grass. It remains the primary athletic hub for Virginia Tech athletics during the autumn collegiate football season.
