Clemson fans visiting Blacksburg

Thought I'd fire up this account again since it's Clemson week. Enjoyed discussing the game with y'all back in December.
Just a few pointers for those of you visiting the burg this weekend:
Highly recommend you all stop by TOTs and enjoy a nice rail. It is the staple bar in Blacksburg and one rail will have you buzzing for the big game.
If you have time... stop by the April 16th memorial on the drillfield. It's a sacred spot at VT and the drillfield is beautiful.
I think you all will find Blacksburg to be very similar to Clemson. Small college town who loves there football. Hope everyone has a great weekend regardless of the outcome.

that serves the best sandwiches in Blacksburg.
Hokie House has the best burger in town IMO.
If you're looking for wings I would go with PK's. Its located on Main Street just a buildings up from Hokie House.

Thanks man. Not visiting, but Blacksburg is definitely on the bucket list. I've heard ya'll have an awesome atmosphere. Cheer you guys on for every game except we play each other.
VT has great fan, program, and coach. Lots of respect, should be a nail-biter!

Parking suggestions? Can you park and tailgate along the side of roads coming into stadium? Do you need to park somewhere away from stadium and ride in? Clemson used to have lots of free parking along entrance roads that you could use to set up and tailgate but parking has become a lot harder here if you don't have a parking pass or parking spot. Are there private parking areas that you would recommend and how much do they cost? How early should we arrive before the game? Is there a parking area near the drill field you mentioned? First time in Blacksburg so any info appreciated. Thanks in advance! You guys represented your school well at ACC championship game and several of your alumni sold me on visiting for this game so we are looking forward to seeing your campus and the Blacksburg area.

The airport west runway lot looks like a possibility. Can we set up a tailgate party there or is it just parking only? How soon should we arrive before game to get a space? TU to you for yr help. Thanks again, FG

Honestly I'm not familiar with parking out that direction

I can't tell you a time to arrive to get a good spot because I really don't know. People will be arriving all parts of the day. With the weather forecast being so nice I would say the lots will start completely filling up by mid-afternoon for sure....maybe earlier. If you arrive much later than that, you may have to go off campus to a satellite lot.

Does VT use the "clear bag" policy (or no bag)? Supposed to be pretty chilly by the end of the game - and restrictions on blankets etc? Doesn't appear to be but didn't want to make assumptions.
