Thought we could get a consolidated thread of everyone who is going to be in Chapel Hill tomorrow and where everyones seats are!
Current predictions have us getting right around 2 inches of rain or so, but I'm sure that's subject to go up or down at this point
I also could use some suggestions on where a good place to park would be. I'll be getting into Chapel Hill around 1 or so I think.

Leaving NoVA tomorrow morning at 7am to make the drive down. Sitting in section 201 near the band since most of us are former MVs, plus they were the cheapest tickets at the time. No idea where we're tailgating or parking yet though.
I'll be in section 100. As for parking, it depends on your plans for before the game. There are several parking decks around Franklin St so I'll be parking there and hitting up some bars. It's a little bit of a hike to the game from there, though.
There are also some parking decks south of the stadium down the hill by the DeanDome and I've seen people tailgating in a couple of the small lots around the HWY 86 and Franklin intersection.
Got a bunch of people sitting in 201. Going to tailgate from my garage in Durham to stay out of the rain a bit.
Come out to the Friday Center lots... we'll have a bunch of Hokies there.
Bring Your Own Everything, but there should be a good group. Plus, it won't matter where you tailgate, after 5 mins in the weather tomorrow, you're still gonna be soaked. Might as well get soaked with a bunch of tailgatin Hokies!
I looked that up. How do you plan on getting to the stadium? Google says it's like a 50min walk. Not trying to be a smartass or anything, just wanting to weigh options.
There is a shuttle... $5 each for the round trip and it'll drop you off in front of the stadium entrance... Worth it with how traffic out there can be
Word. Also, I too will be in 201, row A.
Update: should be at the Friday lots by 1030-11. Bringing a white canopy tent if it's needed.
As long as the wind stays steady in the direction it is now, I should have plenty of room up under my RV awning. Welcome to hang out. White Tundra brown/tan camper
I'll be there
DRINK!

There will be 3 of us in section 111 row A.
Four of us in Section 222 - will probably move closer as I feel their may be some empty seats in between the Maroon and Orange.
Parking in Craige Deck
Four of us in Sec 103.
In Durham now since we had to evacuate out for Matthew. Section 107 right here, trying to be in Chapel Hill around 12ish.
3 in 210
We have 4 tickets in 101 (one of the Hokie club sections). Judging by the ticket dumping on StubHub though, I doubt Keenan will be more than half full, and everyone will probably be able to
sitstand wherever they want.3 of us in section 100. Got my hokie poncho ready!
It seems like as the weather report gets worse and worse, the Tar Heel fans are calling for this game to be moved to Sunday. I really really hope that a majority of this stadium is full of Hokie fans. I have a feeling we're going to travel well to this game, regardless of weather.
I don't see the point of moving it, whats the point of the 12th man if you won't join your team in the rain!
One guy on Inside Carolina gets it
They didn't want the game to go to Blacksburg. Instead Blacksburg will go to the game.
3 in section 204.
Can we get "Let's go Hokies!" heard on TV in the first quarter since all the UNC fans are going to wimp out?
Yes...somebody slip the sound guy some cash and get Enter Sandman played!!
There needs to be a marching band version that the MVs can play at the beginning of the away games.
Flying into RDU tomorrow morning. No ticket yet.
I may have extras that I do not want going to any UNCheaters.
$9 on StubHub right now...
I'd be leery that your flight could be cancelled, though. RDU is supposed to get over 5 inches of rain tomorrow
Here. Got a degree just for parking in the Friday Center Lot.
But seriously, as soon as I parked my fellow Hokies invited me over to their RV compound for dinner, Clemson/BC, and home brew. This is home.
Hokie Nation is everywhere. That's very cool!
6 section 108
Section 100, haven't decided where I'm parking.
Bought a poncho, made sure it wasn't blue!!! Hopefully by some miracle I won't have to use it! Right...
Anyone know what color combo we are wearing tomorrow? I cant remember the twitter account that usually announces it.
@VTEquipment is the Twitter handle you're thinking about but they haven't posted anything as far as I can tell. If I had to guess it's probably standard whites with the tricolor helmet. Could be maroon helmet but we'd probably know if we were doing anything crazy, right?
I haven't seen anything official, but VT twitter posted practice videos yesterday where it looked like the team was wearing the Tennessee helmets. The 5 things for GameDay info flyer shows all white with maroon helmet.
They also later tweeted that was because the GameDay helmets were already on the truck.
Using my NC high school coaches pass. Have no clue where my seats will be. More concerned that the rain will mess up the gel in Fedora's hair. Go Hokies!
4 of us (3 students and 1 recent alum) in section 109
4 of us in Section 210... still on the fence about staying the whole game. Goldsboro, NC is expected to get up to 10 inches of rain and stronger winds
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I'm no longer making the drive up from Wilmington. We are already have TS force gusts, tornado warnings in the area, and it's going to be worse tonight for my drive back. I don't want to leave the wife and baby to hold down the fort. All devices are charging and I still will be tailgating just as hard from my living room! GO HOKIES!
edit: If I were already in Chapel Hill, or north or west of Chapel Hill, there is no question that I would be at this game. GO HOKIES!!!
edit X2: which I know is worth for 0/10 points where I would receive 10 points for showing up at the game.
Make sure you check your tv station. My ABC station here in MB isn't showing the game in lieu of hurricane coverage.
Thanks - I'm a cable cutter anyway because TWC.
I was planning on streaming WatchESPN - if power=yes, Chromecast to TV, if power=no, Use phone as hotspot and watch on laptop.
Stay safe dude!
Hey Good, that's the smart choice.
For literally the first time in my life, my wife can testify.
Section 210!
Have fun y'all! Get loud!
I have so much respect for all of you at this game right now. I really hope the hokie fans outnumber tarheel fans and we come out with a win for your commitment and devotion today! GO HOKIES!
This! 1000X
Salute to all the hokie fans that supported our team in Chapel Hill today. The team showed their appreciation to you as well. You deserve a big hug. Hokie Nation at its finest. I am humbled.
But, also SO PUMPED!
We are here in the cardinal lot. What a mess but dry in here. GO HOKIES!!!!
Just picked up 2tix and parking pass for free off the neighborhood listserv... Heading over with my son to brave the rain and cheer the hokies to victory!
Anyone bar hopping?
