The Spring Game is a cost for VT to run that we've been getting for free.

This $10 to attend the game plus a voluntary parking fee $25 (still plenty of good parking that will not charge) probably just offsets the costs to run this event, hopefully enough people go that we can actually add some profit. You can't even get a fast food meal for $10 any more. VT needs money to try to be competitive, every bit helps. ** Edited by BG Hokie at 3/10/2025, 12:22:36 PM

Would you prefer they quarter and dollar bill ya instead?**

Rather it cost nothing to attend a scrimmage.**
GSOHokie01 • 03/09/25 11:58 AM ET
If $10 is too much for a scrimmage, people shouldn't go.

Who should pay for the security necessary for 25k+ people being let in

That’s the problem…$10 here…$20 there…and everything adds up quickly.

LOL. It's a business. Those costs I mentioned add up quickly for the

The good thing about this business is we all have the choice to partake.

Your post is contradictory. You have a choice to partake in the spring

If we keep selling out, yes, we should add $10 to ticket prices, agree.**

My thoughts too. What's 10 bucks, one less beer at the game?**

Just because it's a cliche doesn't make it accurate. There are bad ideas.**

It's also a chance ramp up support for the Orange & Maroon on the field.
