Suggestion
Someone in charge st Tech needs to change and eliminate the name "Chicken Hill". One would think there must be a better option.

I offer up "Fowl Knob" as a potential replacement name.

We never had a "chicken hill" when I went to school. I can only guess
chicken hill must be the new name where the poultry science center and tennis center were. Never heard of "chicken hill" until I read it on the boards one day.

Thought it was a thing back in the 70/80s..may be thinking football parking

Oh, I meant 1890s.
Who knows, it may have been called chicken hill for 100 years. I'm just saying I never heard the term until it was discussed on the boards, and then I think I saw it on the hokiesports site referring to parking in the "chicken hill lot."

derives from the Poultry Science building up that way...
