Virginia Tech Football Practice Facility: Dedication and Field Naming

Today was the dedication of the football practice facility. The field was formally named in honor of late Hokie alumnus and track athlete Patrick D. Cupp. HokieSports has the full story:

Tech officials christened the field as the "Patrick D. Cupp Field" in honor of Cupp, a former Tech track athlete who passed away in 2000. Sandra Davis spoke to the audience of between 200-300 people about what Tech athletics met to her deceased husband.

"I've never known a more devoted Hokie than my late husband, Patrick D. Cupp," Davis told the audience. "The reason autumn was his favorite season was because when the leaves turned orange and maroon, that was God's way of noticing the Hokies."

Cupp, a 1970 graduate, became a prominent name in real estate and property management in the New River Valley, and he and his wife gave generously both to the university and to athletics, and also to Radford University. Davis, who later remarried and still owns the company (BCR Property Management), continued those philanthropic efforts to honor her late husband.
