Question...

If you want to avoid some of the route 460 backup, take exit#114, rather than 114B, which the majority uses.

Take a left at the bottom of the exit ramp, go through downtown Christiansburg, take a left at the downtown red light (past Hardees and all that), and travel on to 460/Bburg that way.

i think you meant the regular exit to be 118B...but yes, the 114 has significantly less traffic

yes yes 118B - thank you. The last few times I've been to the area I've only had to go as far as 114, and now its stuck in my head [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

114 is more an exit for the 'locals' into C'burg (but is also handy access to 460), and the bulk of the game traffic flocks to the standard VT exit. I'd forgotten about VT games a couple of times at got stuck at 118B trying to get onto 460. Not so much fun.

How was your Lane Stadium/Castrated Fightin' Knobgobblers experience?

It was alright. The parking was cheap and easy. There wasn't any traffic, not what I would call traffic anyway. The hokie house had good food, and beer at a reasonable price. There were plenty of FSU fans. Most of the Tech fans were real cool, except for the retard sitting in front of me. I swear no matter what stadium I go to if there is one moron in the crowd he will be close to me. We just so happened to be entering the stadium where the FSU players and coaches were, so it was cool to see Bowden, Amato, Andrews and some of the others again. The campus was alright and the stadium looked good from the outside, but it's really small. I actually sent a pic from inside the stadium to one of my friends, and he replied "where you at? Gate City..." lol...

So I would say we had a good time even though we got beat, blacksburg is a nice little college town, and it was convenient that I could buy a FSU hat at an away game on game day ( that's a first for me). On the down side the stadium is small and it is by no means loud, Kentucky was actually louder. And the thing with the keys is gay.

Oh snap, you just stepped right in it... [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

I need to get back up there sometime. My last trip to VPI for a foosball game was for VPI/NC St. in 90.

Aside from Joe Robbie, Lane is the worst stadium in the ACC. I got a few more trips left to evaluate so I cant say which one I like best yet(not including the OB).

I thought the VT campus was nice, but I wasnt impressed with Lane at all. IMO, it wasnt that loud at all. I paid $5 for parking. I had to walk about a mile or two across campus, but it was worth it. Ill be back in 09 to watch the Canes roll the Hokies though!
