Virginia Tech will hold two open scrimmages during the month of August. It will be the only chance for fans to catch the Hokies live before the season opener against Alabama on August 31.
Here is the list of the key dates in August…
August 5: First practice
August 10: Media day, Open Scrimmage in Lane Stadium, 7pm
August 11: Welcome Back Picnic
August 17: Open Scrimmage in Lane Stadium, 7pm
August 24: Closed Scrimmage
August 25: Game week preparations begin for Alabama
In the past, fans are required to sit in the West Stands for open scrimmages, and that will likely continue this year.

The second one also got moved back from previous years if memory serves.
I mean start time not date, sorry
Is this the first time that the final scrimmage is a closed one?
No, it’s like that every year. The first two are open, the last one is closed.
It will be the only chance for ‘Bama to catch the new Hokie O, too.
I like your optimism (and your apparent good taste in fine beverages)!
Ardbeg is great. Don’t think I’ve had a bad single malt but the smokey stuff is my favorite. Had a friend open a new bottle of Ardbeg once – said it smelled like a campfire, not in a bad way, just couldn’t believe the smoke.
