Good morning, Tech Fam. Cassell will be rocking all year long and now is your chance to see all the action up-and-close and personal!
What all are we covering in today’s edition, Hokies? Check it out below!
🏀 Premium Seating
🏈 Tussle With The Tigers
🗓️ Fully Booked
✍️ And much, much more!
Virginia Tech Athletics HAS announced enhancements to premium seating at Cassell Coliseum, introducing individual, NBA-style courtside seats and new loge seating opportunities for fans attending men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling contests.
As part of the updates, Virginia Tech is replacing its existing baseline and sideline tables with individual, NBA-style courtside seats. The new configuration will triple the courtside seating inventory, elevate the Virginia Tech Gameday Experience, and create additional revenue to support Hokies athletics programs.
In addition to the courtside improvements, new loge seating will expand the premium seating options available at Cassell Coliseum for men’s and women's basketball, offering fans additional ways to experience Hokie hoops action.
🔼 Fully Booked. Lane Stadium is fully booked for 2026.
On Thursday, Virginia Tech Athletics announced that its Saturday, Nov. 28, football matchup against Virginia is officially sold out, marking the Hokies' sixth sellout in six home games this season.
The sellout of the Smithfield Commonwealth Clash completes a perfect home attendance slate for the Hokies, underscoring the tremendous support of Virginia Tech fans and the excitement surrounding the program.

The matchup – which will be on primetime television on ESPN – will feature two ACC foes seeking their third win in conference play in the 2026 regular season.
The Hokies can secure bowl eligibility with a weekend victory in Death Valley.
🔼 Back In Cassell. Cassell Coliseum will soon come alive once again as both Virginia Tech men’s and women’s basketball make their triumphant returns for the 2026-27 season.
