For those of you curious this is not our earth, this game was played in another multiverse where everything is exactly the same as here.....only reversed
Im glad they let the song play. I get sick of these awesome entrances and they cut the song off to play the school fight song. Just play the fight song after the song. let the crowd stay hyped.
I'll echo the comments of other tech fans on other videos of this, I wish the ACCN had put the crowd noise higher in the mix than the song. Like in this video you can't really tell how loud the stadium actually is because the production mix from the broadcast has Sandman so loud. But let me tell you, you think this is good? This is a Virginia Tech team that's only won 5 games in the last two years and they still sell out the stadium. Go watch some of the Sandman entrances from the Beamer days when Tech was winning 10 games and going to a bowl game every year. Go find that 2011 Miami game and watch Miami's last drive. That's the real electricity there.
@@orangecobraEU Yes, maybe not the NFL crowds but I feel the College football crowds are better than anything you will get in the UK and the rest of Europe (UK resident, Manchester) I also think The college football and NFL do a better job of making the game more of an experience with music and flyovers and fireworks. That doesn't happen in the UK and Europe with Soccer/football
'This is the best thing I've seen in all of college sports. Just simply amazing atmosphere. If the players can't get hype for the game, then they have no heartbeat. Would love to be there in person one day.
As someone who was at this game, watching on tv is awesome but it is nothing to the hear how loud it is live, never been to a stadium that compares even though I haven't been the to the Swamp or Death Valley(LSU) which I have heard are crazy.
Reminds me of the chills at FSU…when Renegade runs to mid field…rears back on his hind legs with Chief Osceola on top with a flaming spear in hand…with huge drums and war chant going…the stadium goes nuts. Nothing quite like college football…Just amazing!
They have a royalty-free fake instrumental that sounds like "Enter Sandman" playing and no crowd chanting, just hyped crowd noise. I guess they couldn't/didn't want to license the song.
Great entrance but imo penn state’s entrances during white outs are deafening. 2019 when Michigan played them i couldnt even hear anything on the tv bc it was so loud.
Went to first home game against Marshall last weekend. Stadium mostly packed, tons of folks tailgating. It was great! Unfortunately for an afternoon game you don't get the fireworks. News today Metallica is actually doing a concert at Lane Stadium May 7th 2025
For those commenting about their school being louder - this is every single home game. Winning team, losing team, doesn’t matter. The students and locals and alumni are there for their team. As they should be. Metallic joined them via screen once to do it live. It is always this way. You have to pay attn to the sound meter. That shows the real story. Others are interesting entrances (although Clemson gives me a heart attack everytime. I’m waiting for a player to fall and get injured ), nothing rivals the continued blast of sound for the whole song. Just FYI - I’m not associated with VT in any way.
If vt ever won a natty and came into a night game as 1 or 2 the other team should just fold. That atmosphere would be insane. I’m a buckeye for life and would love the shoe to have this as our intro onto the field after dotting the i.
VT freshman here. I bought season tickets and being there for the opening for the first time during the game against Marshall was exhilarating. I was also at the game tonight against Rutgers and it was great still!

Brother they took the eventual national champion Clemson team to the brink in the 2016 ACC Championship Game and won 10 games that season.. also won 10 games a season for 8 years in a row from 04-11..
@@RickyIcecubes it has longest history, best atmospheres on games by far, best tradition, best rivalries, best ultras, and as u said, by far, most popular game on planet. Wars started because of football, 3 billion people watched world cup final in 2022. No sport comes even remotely close.
@@jenniferaltizer4434 no they didn’t lol they came onto hokie vision with a video message for Coach Beamer's last home game vs UNC in 2015 but they didn’t perform nor was it live
Great song, but American sports fans have alot to learn from Europe and south America. It's all too safe and family friendly. The danger is part of the fun!
@@orangecobraEU oh really? I did not know that. As far as football violence between opposing fans goes, I don't think it would work in America, simply because too many citizens own guns and will just shoot you if you get into a fight with them, especially in states with concealed carry and stand your ground laws, whereas organised football violence originated in the UK (mostly England) and spread all over Europe, especially eastern Europe and Italy, and due to English fans obnoxious behaviour and their history of violence they're usually targeted by European fans specifically and usually come off second best nowadays. Eastern Europeans will actively train in mma and boxing gyms to prepare for football violence, in Italy, especially lazio fans their trademark is to slash your ass cheeks with a knife so you can't walk or move your legs until it heals, whereas English fans are just drunks who throw beer bottles and outdoor cafe furniture at people not caring if they hit the innocent.
Apparently this entrance. Is the loudest in world any sports😂. They should say how they recorded, if they was the song, or they just intentionly sayed go break record, where they was in the stadium.
You got that right? Since the first time I heard metallica I knew they were the s*** but I never thought I'd see an entrance like this especially in college football. All I got to say is hell. Yeah that's what it's about
My dislike of Metallica is only surpassed by my dislike of VPI, and Duke, perhaps. However it is a cool, moving, tremendously electric entrance. Go 'Hoos!

not bad...definitely in the top 20. But you can't pick and choose....show it with a typical noon game. Lots of teams have a great entrance during primetime. As a VPI fan I can see why you love it. Looks really FUN. But as someone that has been to LOTS of venues....not overly impressed based on my three times seeing it live. Was more ho hum than the atmosphere at that Pitt game. Clempsum, LSU, ND, FSU and especially Texas A&M were all much better with me sitting in the stands as witness. Hear Penn State is worthy but never been to a game there. But thanks for sharing.
Actually, VT did not start this tradition. Indiana University started in the 90s with the song Jump Around. They, too, register on a Richter scale when the song is played. I believe the Enter Sandman is played as the team enters the field just before kick off. The sing Jump Around is played as the team comes onto the field to start the 3rd quarter to hype the team for the 2nd half.
No one said Virginia Tech started it. The Hokies just do it better. Also, are you absolutely sure it's Indiana and not Wisconsin that jumps to "Jump Around?" Regardless, Indiana nor Wisconsin play "Enter Sandman" during their entrance ceremony. I can't find one video or news article of it for either school.
It's Wisconsin doing "Jump Around" at the start of the fourth quarter, not Indiana. Same thing with South Carolina and "Sandstorm." The best use of "Enter Sandman" I ever saw VT do was during one of their games against Miami. Miami had the ball fourth down with about 5 seconds to go at midfield and needed a touchdown to win. When they called a timeout, the PA guy fired off "Enter Sandman." The place came UNGLUED. Miami didn't get the TD, Tech won.
I was a VT season ticket holder for over 20 years. A night game atmosphere at Lane is unbelievable.
Thats the very best entrance ever 🤘🤘🤘All the Fans are singing this unbelieveable great Song together... Love it❤️🔥

Two things I can say after seeing this: 1) VT’s fans deserved to win a National Championship. 2) God damn I love being an American!
I would've lost my mind if our coach let us run out to some metal. Metallica just does something menacing to a man! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥

I agree watching from home isn't the same! Awesome seeing them destroy Syracuse!
agreed! VT is awesome
The only good thing about them is this. Other then that, its just disappointments watching their football team
never fails to give chills

DITTO!!! Especially seeing them run out with the American flag and all those service members getting hype with em
It is a great college football entrance. I was there in 2018 when Notre Dame exited Sandman.
Wow...this is amazing!
You know the guys from Metallica gets kick every time I hear that!!!
The best team entrance in football! The adrenaline, you would have coming out…
Saw Mike Vic play the Canes at the Orange Bowl on a Thursday night , What a game. Much love to TECH !!!!
Wow, this rivals Stone Cold when he's coming to save the day.

You need to go to the SEC school if you want loud, Period
And you need to go to a VT game to see what loud and insane really is. Been to a number of SEC games. Great intro no Sandman though
" WILD PEOPLE!! "
The fans deserve better
And yet they insist on having rap and r&b for the superbowl halftime show

Try and find an audience member recording of it. It’s not their fault that they’re behind the song due to how the sound travels in the stadium
Solid entrance, but FSU’s is the best
Great Enterance but the best ever is The Penn State Whiteout!!!!!!
You've never been to LSU . . .
Exactly
I feel as though it would be better to open up with a Pantera song instead.
