Recently, we added a new moment to the Quillen Spirit Plaza timeline, one that captures an unforgettable chapter in Virginia Tech history. In this video, we capture the commemoration of the electrifying night Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” was performed live in Lane Stadium, amplifying one of the most iconic traditions in college sports. Watch as this milestone is permanently etched into the timeline, celebrating the energy, spirit, and legacy that makes Hokie Nation unique. After you watch, be sure to stop by Quillen Spirit Plaza outside Dietrick Hall to see the newly engraved marker for yourself and relive the roar of 65,000 fans united under one legendary song.
