VT Stadium=UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE


Oct 1, 2017, 6:37 AM

So I go into hokie stadium last night and proceed to the concession stand to buy a coke before heading to my seat. The nice young lady hands me my drink and says "that will be 3.50." So I hand her 2 properly paw stamped 2$ dollar bills. She says she cannot accept 2$ bills.
I said WHAT?
She said we cant take those
I said this is American currency!
She says we have been told not accept 2$ bills tonight
I said you have to be joking, right?
Some guy behind her steps in {I guess her supervisor} and says that they will not accept aaaaaaaaaaaany 2$ bills, especially ones with orange paws on them.

So I say ok, whatever, and hand her 4 1$s.
She hands me a Kennedy half dollar coin for change.
I say I cant accept those tonight.
She gave me 2 quarters

I went to my seat, enjoyed my coke, and watched our TIGERS KICK THEIR ###!!!!

Strange but true

Go Tigers!

You should have said "Great!", then put your money back in your pocket and take the coke.

Gonna be honest, they treated me very nice in my seats. But, it was not loud at all. I wasn't impressed..then they took out their keys on 3rd down. What a bunch of weirdos.




They don't come close to FSU or Clem in terms of how loud it can get.

Lane Stadium is a s**thole ... seat spaces are very narrow; you can barely get your feet between seat rows; you have to practically stand up on the bleacher to let someone in/out; and three people in the concession line essentially block the entire rampart. And I never could figure out the key thing ... or Sandman.

In my seat most around me were fine, no problem during the game. But I did have 3 people in hokie gear say "go gamecocks " to me. That was very weird. I just laughed at them.
And then there was the paper airplanes. ??????? I have been to countless away games. Last night was kinda surreal.

And they have such a rep for being an intimidating environment. I dont see it. the only thing more overrated than vpi is jimbo fishers coaching ability.

Wait, so Jimbo

can't really coach and depends on having 5-star talent all over the place?

Naaah ;)

I thought it was louder than all the FSU games I've been to for the first few minutes. It was headache loud that first drive. Had we not got off to a lead and killed their will that would have been a hell of a crowd to have to deal with for 4 quarters. They were primed up as a fan base but ran into a buzz saw.

That's incredible and I not sure it was even legal to refuse Payment! You should have taken a few sips and handed the Coke back to her, but is not the kind of fans we are. That's really disappointing that a University would be that petty. Then they stick our band in the nose bleed section. To me it has a lot to do with safety issues. Can you imagine a band member trying to carry a big heavy instrument up those steep steps.

IMO the placement of our band may have had some affect on our players just as the Orange pants did against a heavily favored coot team in 1980!

That's against the law, a business can not refuse legal tender.

A lawyer I am not. Just glad I had other denominations. My main motivation was to get to my seat before kickoff, but it did #### me off.

The Stupidvisor that it is against Federal Law to refuse U.S. currency for payment of debts...there is no law but I doubt he would have known that since most folks in Va. can't read .
