That helmet being front and center.... Seems to be a little much for a one time use helmet, huh?

Would not be surprised if that is our full time look in 2016 and beyond.

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

That particular banner doesn't have anything else on it, so conceivably it could be swapped out with a new picture of an alternate uniform or something else down the line.

I highly doubt Virginia Tech adopts the Navy-like look full time.

I was hoping to hear something like this. I mean, they're banners. We should be able to switch them out if we want. I'm looking for a continual rotation.

King of disappointing that tickets are so difficult to get, will have to try the secondary market most likely it sounds like...

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

"Having" to go to the Bristol night race almost feels more like a bonus than a penalty... but that's just me

Talkin' Hokies, Talkin Football

It's really not difficult, it just hasn't opened yet. Probably because its over a year away. Once public on-sales begin then it will likely be very easy to get tickets.

I wouldn't say the King, maybe the Prince, but certainly not the King

No Bruce Smith?

That's only the east wall. The north and south walls, or at least were at some point, are supposed to have some banners as well. I'm sure hes getting a primetime spot

Hopefully he is added on one of the walls. I thought the same thing when I first saw it. But they do look god IMO.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

He's gonna be one entire wall...big dude!

The company doing the banners has done some really cool stuff for other programs

I saw that. I think it's going to look great!

Regarding the Battle at Bristol, I saw this in the Virginia Tech Battle at Bristol website/brochure:

"Virginia Tech has played in famed stadiums at LSU and Texas A&M. But
the Hokies have never played in front of more than 100,000 spectators."

This isn't true. They defeated anOSU in front of 107,517 spectators, which was an Ohio stadium record.

ahhh...Bummer..but the night race at Bristol is pretty good

Hokies, Local Soccer, AFC Ajax, Ravens

I feel like Kam is up there for his NFL accomplishments than college ones

He was still pretty good in college, but no, it doesn't hurt to remind people that one of the best safeties in the NFL is a Hokie and was coached by Bud and Gray.

If there was to be another spot on there, it should have something with track and field.

They already have the Rector Field House. The new facility will be used by all those sports in the image, but Track and Field will likely just keep to Rector.

Next phase of construction is apparently a big upgrade to Rector, so they'll likely be getting their own stuff soon

Angela Tincher is arguably the best athlete ever at Virginia Tech. Well deserved recognition.

What she did to the USA Olympic team after they snubbed her was epic pay back.

These Hokies think they can actually win this thing!
