What do you think about the updated Lane Stadium gameday experience?

Nova Hokie 95: While I’m not necessarily a fan of every single change, I’m a huge fan of the overall change to the gameday atmosphere this year, and I commend Whit Babcock for updating things large and small.

Even the parts I’m not personally a fan of – some of the music, ehhh – I can get behind just by watching the student section. They’re getting up, they’re getting moving, they’re getting EXCITED. The student section, from what I could tell, stayed longer this year than in years past. And it didn’t seem to come at the expense of the bands, either – they still had plenty of time to play, it appeared to me.

The “fan cam” additions are a welcome change, too. And Whit didn’t lose any sponsorship money by doing more fan cams, either. The idea of having ads on part of the screen while the cameras search the crowd was a welcome change from the very static and boring straight ads of previous years. It kept the crowd constantly engaged.
