BLACKSBURG – As the lacrosse season approaches, the Virginia Tech athletics department announced new and returning fan experience elements to expect when attending lacrosse games this season.
THOMPSON FIELD ACCESS
Gates at Thompson Field will open 60 minutes before the first draw on gamedays. Thompson Field is located at 867 Washington St SW.
BEAMER-LAWSON INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY ACCESS
Gates at Beamer-Lawson Indoor Practice Facility will open 60 minutes before the first draw on gamedays. Beamer-Lawson Indoor Practice Facility is located off of Callaghan Sheridan Way. Fans will enter through the southeast entrance of the building. Portable restrooms will be available outside of the venue on Callaghan Sheridan Way.
TICKETS
Admission to Virginia Tech regular season lacrosse games is free with no tickets required for entry into the venues.
CLEAR BAG POLICY
Virginia Tech's clear bag policy remains in place for lacrosse home events. This policy helps provide a safer environment for spectators and expedites fan entry into the venue.
Approved bags are limited to:
- Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC, and do not exceed 12'' x 6'' x 12''
- One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar)
For more information and to view a list of prohibited items, please visit HokieSports.com/ClearBag.
CASHLESS CONCESSION STANDS
All concessions sales are cashless at all venues, requiring a debit or credit card for purchase. This minimizes wait times and eliminates the exchanging and handling of currency. Fans who do not have access to a debit or credit card should consider buying a prepaid card at Kroger in advance of the game.
In addition, concessions will include menu options at fan-friendly prices, similar to years previous. Alcohol is not served at lacrosse. Concessions will be limited when played at the Beamer-Lawson Indoor Practice Facility.
