Just confirmed that they will remove mine before the BC game.

I called in last week to ask to have our backs removed and they said they were starting a list, but no guarantee that they would be removed. Got a call today to renew my season tix and asked if the seat backs were going to be removed. They confirmed I'm on the list and said that everyone on list is supposed to be removed by BC game. They called me back later and told me mine should be gone before this weekend. Recommend calling ticket office if you want yours removed....

They're a pain in the butt. Can we opt-out of the seat-backs?

I tried to warn ya...
Virtual Hokie • 09/08/24 09:12 PM ET
I'm 6'8 and didn't like the seats
LesHaunx • 09/08/24 11:32 AM ET
I am 6-4 and had no problem. Sometimes the old system gave me less leg
JRHokie73 • 09/08/24 03:57 PM ET
Weird, tall people are just now realizing they don't fit in bleachers
Seikoh_04 • 09/08/24 09:21 AM ET
Congratulations on being short!
I love VT! • 09/08/24 11:20 AM ET
Not necessarily...
HokieintheHill • 09/08/24 10:24 AM ET
Maybe that’s why I didn’t notice and specifically chose an aisle seat **
hokiepro • 09/08/24 11:20 AM ET
What would you suggest?**
Tech76G • 09/08/24 10:11 AM ET
I don't know? I'm short. I do sympathize though. Bleachers and airplanes**

NO.

Sorry; maybe mine was installed differently? It was as good or better than
hokiepro • 09/08/24 11:19 AM ET
FWIW, I never purchased seatbacks in the past because even those slightly
I love VT! • 09/08/24 11:27 AM ET
Terrible. And by the way, to get a beer takes an hour again....**
Big D • 09/08/24 08:29 AM ET
If you are anywhere near the South end zone it’s worth walking over there
hokiepro • 09/08/24 08:40 AM ET
Their card reader was down during pre-game. I was in line for 20 minutes
stescham • 09/08/24 09:59 AM ET
To get in or at the beer stand?
hokiepro • 09/08/24 10:02 AM ET
shhhhhh**
LocalHokie18 • 09/08/24 08:46 AM ET
Ooops….people never go under West stands anymore it’s too crowded”
hokiepro • 09/08/24 08:52 AM ET
Exactly. People, for some odd reason, believe they need to go to the
UEMcGill • 09/08/24 08:46 AM ET
Yep & concessions behind the Corp are not very crowded as corp tend not to
hokiepro • 09/08/24 09:11 AM ET
Seemed like they added more seats per row.**
VTRLN • 09/08/24 08:27 AM ET
Nope these seats actually fit the numbered seats
hokiepro • 09/08/24 08:35 AM ET
Yep... it's like what happened in Cassell in reverse
GoFightingGobblers • 09/08/24 08:58 AM ET
No room; felt like a caged mouse in a trap. Hope enough people complain.
VTRLN • 09/08/24 08:24 AM ET
Those seats Suck!! An absolute disaster for anyone over 5’ 10”
DCL • 09/08/24 08:10 AM ET
I’m 6’2, didn’t have a problem 🤷🏻‍♂️**
hokiepro • 09/08/24 08:22 AM ET
Watched from your living room?**
Tech76G • 09/08/24 10:13 AM ET
Nope; kinda liked the seat honestly. I didn’t sit a lot but it was fine
hokiepro • 09/08/24 10:30 AM ET
I call BS. I am 5’7” and slender. The seats were a nightmare.**
Beach Hokie • 09/08/24 09:36 AM ET
Well…except East & West sides both have no leg room that’s been the case
hokiepro • 09/08/24 08:28 AM ET
Same here and I am only 6ft
Hokey Pokey • 09/08/24 08:05 AM ET
Same deal for me and I'm 5'11"
gr8fuljj • 09/09/24 04:49 PM ET
The seat backs look cool but are flimsy plastic
Zanderhokie • 09/08/24 07:45 AM ET
We are consistently POOR in how we operate our athletics programs…in
Irish Hokie • 09/08/24 07:38 AM ET
Agree 100%
extremehokie • 09/08/24 08:54 AM ET
Because it’s always sold out
hokiepro • 09/08/24 09:20 AM ET
You’re right. But East is way worse than west
extremehokie • 09/08/24 09:23 AM ET
If they could rebuild East & West like South end zone it’d be great
hokiepro • 09/08/24 09:28 AM ET
It may work itself out anyway
extremehokie • 09/08/24 09:37 AM ET
Really? How exactly aside from seatbacks does it “suck”?
hokiepro • 09/08/24 08:26 AM ET
Try leaving Blacksburg and go to a competitor football stadium…give it a
Irish Hokie • 09/08/24 08:40 AM ET
I have. Lane has issues BUT UNC? Horrible. Duke? lol 😂
hokiepro • 09/08/24 08:58 AM ET
You can definitely add BC to your list**
GoFightingGobblers • 09/08/24 09:09 AM ET
To the bad list? Haven’t been there
hokiepro • 09/08/24 09:19 AM ET
Sir, I appreciate your assessment, Backs too straight & seat not deep
George Baylor • 09/08/24 07:38 AM ET
They were tested by skinny 18-22 yr olds maybe **
