Might get killed for asking this but is Charlottesville’s weather
Significantly better than Blacksburg’s? We had what 13 home games and UVA had 25. I live in Harrisonburg and I don’t believe the weather in Blacksburg is that much different than here.

Well, Pete could schedule more in the burg, but who with great RPI would
come?

Check their home schedule
Those extra games weren’t played against many teams that would help their resume.

Charlottesville is about 3 degrees warmer than B'Burg...and the Valley
cities are about the same as B'burg...

At this moment it’s 77 in Burg and 85 in Cville.
It’s not always this much of a difference, but it’s certainly seems to be more the norm these days.

Generally is 5 to 10 degrees warmer in Cville.
But there’s a lot of “hot air” up there……😁 Altitude in Cville is about 600’ above sea level, and about 2,100 in Blacksburg. Also, it tends to be more windy in Blacksburg. So, in general the weather tends to be better in Cville.

Blacksburg can be really hot during the summer months.
During my coop ed tenure, I was on campus Winter and Summer quarters. I worked at VDOT Fall and Spring quarters. As cold as winter can be, summer can be stifling.

Yes, it can be.
But it rarely gets above 90 degrees here (Cburg) and the humidity is generally not that bad, but it can occasionally make it quite uncomfortable. The Roanoke area also tends to have much warmer temps and humidity than the NRV, but it’s at a much lower elevation.

Better, sure. Double the amount of home games better?

Maybe in some years.
February in Blacksburg can be quite brutal. I think it’s tougher to schedule against the weather in the NRV than the Cville area.

Probably a small bit warmer that side of the Blue Ridge Vs. NRV/B'burg
