I recently went to visit my friend at Virginia Tech for Fall break. I was able to watch a football game at the stadium and feel the first college town atmosphere for a football game. Honestly, it still gives me goosebumps.
The stadium was filled to the brim, a full crowd of 65,000 jumping fans and students. Soon over the speaker system I hear the Hokienation anthem: "Enter Sandman." Suddenly the crowd rises as a I see what seems to be the largest player on the Virginia Tech team run across the field with the American flag. This is the real 'Murica.
The experience was pretty enjoyable just because I love how excited people get from their team scoring a TD or stealing a pass. The ambience of the city revolving over this game for two or three hours at a time, reminds me of Super Bowl game days or FIFA match days when everyone's pride is as high as their hopes for victory. I hope I can go to a school with the same school and team enthusiasm.
