Most Hokies drive 4-5 hours to a game from NoVa and Hampton Roads, need a 2

night stay at double the normal price to be in Blacksburg or drive another 1/2 to 1 hour to get to a hotel. The sacrifice is unprecedented, and I have many Penn State friends (which is remote too) and they are often just a couple of hours away to get to a game. Whether it is Philly, Pittsburgh or NYC. When I tell them our travel distance even they are impressed. PS It's also why we pack games in the DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia area, because less than 3 hours is nothing for us, and we can get one night stays without a problem.
