Parking options for Virginia Tech vs Pittsburgh

Blacksburg parking fills up fast on gameday. Here's how fans get into Lane Stadium for the Pittsburgh matchup:

  • Official Virginia Tech campus lots

    Perry Street Parking Garage, Lot D2, Chicken Hill, and the Cage lots are paid on entry via the JustPark app — no cash. Closest to the stadium but sell out early on rivalry weekends.

  • Private driveways & church lots

    Local homeowners, churches, and small businesses along Main Street, Progress Street, and Prices Fork open up spots ranging from $20 to $60+. Many allow tailgating; a few accept RVs. Reserve on our Pittsburgh parking map.

  • Downtown Blacksburg

    Public garages and metered lots downtown are a 15–20 minute walk to Lane Stadium — cheaper, and you can grab food or a beer before the walk in.

  • RV parking

    Public RV parking for every Virginia Tech home game is in the Student Remote Lot (Smoot Drive in the Corporate Research Center) and at the Inn at Virginia Tech. Student Remote Lot passes are single-game, first-come, first-served and managed by the Virginia Tech/Montgomery Executive Airport; Inn spaces must also be reserved in advance.
