BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech returns to a sold-out Lane Stadium this Saturday, Nov. 22, at noon ET to close out the home slate with a rivalry clash against No. 14 Miami. With Senior Day recognitions, community initiatives, and a full lineup of pregame entertainment, Hokie Nation will have plenty to enjoy before the Hokies and Hurricanes kick off. Here are Five Things to Know ahead of the matchup, which will be televised on ESPN:

  5. Arrive Early &Prepare Your Phone – Fans are encouraged to arrive early to avoid delays and enjoy all pregame activities.
