...it's the long and boring drive from NoVA to Blacksburg down 81. It's fine for a big game or two, but not for 6-7 weekends per fall.

Personally, I'm REALLY hoping the Amtrak extension to Christiansburg happens in the near future. I could walk to a station from my place, take the train down on Friday and back on Sunday. Once that happens, I'll likely jump in.
