With fall camp in full swing and kickoff less than 25 days away, the Virginia Tech football program is set to spend Sunday afternoon, Aug. 14, with Hokie Nation in the Beamer-Lawson indoor practice facility for the team’s annual Fan Day.

Presented by Virginia529, Football Fan Day is a free event for fans to meet Tech players and coaches while enjoying interactive contests, family-friendly music, sponsor booths, appearances from the HokieBird and Spirit Squads and more.

In conjunction with the start of football season, Virginia529 and Virginia Tech Athletics are offering the chance to win four season tickets and a season-long parking pass as part of the Family 4-Pack Sweepstakes. Fill out the entry form for your chance to win!

Get ready for this year’s edition with five things to know about Sunday’s event:

1. Doors will open at 1 p.m. ET for current Hokie Kids’ Club Maroon-level members and 15 minutes later for the general public. All Hokie Kids’ Club Maroon-level members may gain early access to Fan Day at 1 p.m. via the door nearest Gate 7. Members who RSVP’ed to pick up their membership packets should visit the check-in table outside the exclusive Kids’ Club entrance until 2 p.m.

Hokie Kids’ Club memberships are still available for the upcoming year. Secure a membership for the young Hokie fan in your life before Friday, Aug. 18, and receive a complimentary ticket to a Tech football home game this fall.

2. Free parking is available in select campus lots. Parking is available for free in Lot 1 across from Cassell Coliseum close to the soccer fields, Lot 3 (on Sterrett Drive across from the VT Police Station) and Lot 5 (Chicken Hill).

3. Fans can purchase “Skip the Line” passes to move to the front of autograph lines. Returning for 2022 Fan Day, fans wanting to skip the line and get autographs from their favorite coaches or student-athletes quicker can purchase their own Skip the Line Pass for $20. The deadline to purchase a pass is Thursday, Aug. 11.

4. Free 2022 Tech Football posters and schedule cards will be available for pick-up. Fans get the first look at the 2022 football poster and can pick up a copy to be signed by the football student-athletes and/or coaches. Only one (1) item is allowed per autograph station per person and sharpies will be provided to all student-athletes and coaches.

5. Autographs will be limited to one spirit item per person. Outside fan spirit items will be allowed at this year’s event. Only one (1) item per autograph station may be signed per person. In addition, student-athletes and coaches reserve the right to decline to autograph any item for any reason, especially items that seem to be fashioned to sell for profit. No posed photography will be permitted.
