What's this?

Y’all need to relax. Keep tabs on HokieSports May 15 & 16

They’ve been planning for this for over a year. Will there be first time learnings/growing pains? I expect so. But if you’re truly wanting to go, if you keep tabs on HokieSports.com and here after the show on May 15, there will be info on when Tix are on sale. If we don’t have enough space? That’d be a good thing but frankly? I was disappointed in the crowd for Saturday’s UofL game and it was a beautiful sunny Saturday with free admission. The bleachers filled up yes but didn’t stay completely full throughout. There will be more seating coming in. How much I don’t know but I expect capacity to be nearly double what the current grandstand has

What would be worse? Not getting in or being embarrassed that fans of #2 in the country can’t fill all of the temporary seats?

Like I said, that’d be a GOOD problem if it sells out but don’t freak out about something in anticipation of a worst case scenario

I’ve seen a regional start around noon or 11am for TV -- VTsportscaster 05/07/2022 9:35PM

Yeah Friday start could be anywhere 11-4 -- hokiepro 05/08/2022 2:28PM

Yeah, host picks their game time ** -- VTsportscaster 05/08/2022 9:43PM

Check Sunday night May 15 after pairings Tix likely on sale May 16 ** -- hokiepro 05/07/2022 3:56PM

They have had numerous meetings on the entire regional setup -- VTChip 05/07/2022 09:17AM

Yeah tickets usually never go on sale before the brackets come out -- VTsportscaster 05/07/2022 9:31PM

Probably lifted for a pinch hitter...lol ** -- VTChip 05/07/2022 9:35PM

You are probably as correct as anyone, but seems reasonable. -- RJHokie 05/07/2022 09:24AM

Don't worry, I'm sure Whit will do his best to dehumanize VT softball fans -- The_Phew 05/07/2022 3:50PM

Why do this? Does it add to the board dialogue at all? -- Hokie Proud 05/07/2022 7:40PM

The samurai had the answer -- The_Phew 05/08/2022 08:15AM

Watch -- Techdady 05/07/2022 10:01PM

That's not fortune telling, that's an expected outcome. ** -- saret 05/07/2022 3:54PM

And if an unexpected outcome occurs, expect loud screaming ** -- Brewing_Hokie 05/07/2022 6:44PM

Over/under for successfully ticketed attendees? ** -- TomTurkey 05/07/2022 4:47PM

I have no idea, the way they run ticketing. Link -- saret 05/07/2022 6:12PM

There will be an admission charge to the games. -- RJHokie 05/07/2022 09:12AM

And some of us will be left out, after supporting the team all season. ** -- william floyd 05/07/2022 12:01PM

Based on william floyd's post, I would assume the "worse case scenario" is -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 2:03PM

That’s another a worst case. That’s a good problem to have -- hokiepro 05/08/2022 2:07PM

I agree it is a good problem to have, but it is the ONLY scenario where a -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 2:15PM

Hopefully, it'll become the "house that Keely et al built" -- TomTurkey 05/07/2022 4:55PM

Can they set up a remote viewing site in the Rector Field House? -- TomTurkey 05/07/2022 2:59PM

If VT is going to go with the remote viewing route, then Lane or Cassell -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 2:20PM

A good problem to solve ** -- TomTurkey 05/08/2022 2:23PM

A great problem to solve and a golden opportunity for VT to try -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 2:26PM

Yes, a bull market for non-revenue sports -- TomTurkey 05/08/2022 2:30PM

Given all the potential changes floating out there as the schools try to -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 2:36PM

That’s possible. -- RJHokie 05/07/2022 2:00PM

Honestly, I think there is a great chance the demand could even exceed -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 1:56PM

It's unfortunate that will happen because it will be another example -- VTHokie2000 05/07/2022 12:17PM

Come on. There will be advance purchase available -- hokiepro 05/07/2022 4:59PM

My point is that Regionals and Super Regionals have a great chance -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 1:48PM

Not sure how “alienation” occurs when it’s something not in school’s -- hokiepro 05/08/2022 2:02PM

I wouldn't make that assumption because people can change their plans -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 2:12PM

I suppose track record warrants a little but why assume the worst? ** -- fsghokie 05/07/2022 2:30PM

You obviously missed my point if you think I'm assuming the worst. -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 1:53PM

I didn’t miss any point -- fsghokie 05/08/2022 2:50PM

Some outdoor events (i.e. concerts, trade shows, fairs, etc.) don't -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2022 3:12PM

It’s been said that temporary seating is being considered -- fsghokie 05/08/2022 8:15PM

There’s not going to be places like that with extra bleachers coming in -- hokiepro 05/08/2022 7:40PM

The space I was referring to is the grassy area down the 3rd base line -- VTHokie2000 05/10/2022 01:11AM

True. ** -- william floyd 05/07/2022 12:20PM
