HOKIE NATION:  A Team, A Town and the Best Darned Fans in College Football

So . . . just what the heck is a Hokie?

It’s a question Tech fans get everywhere they go.  You can’t explain it in a word or a phrase—you have to live it and this feature length documentary, HOKIE NATION, does just that.  

After nearly two years in the making, HOKIE NATION is a first hand tour of the Hokie fan lifestyle from sun up to sundown and all year round.

You’ll go inside Lane Stadium to experience the traditions and excitement, from the field to the skyboxes and meet the most savvy, devoted and passionate fans in college football today.

You’ll be invited to world class tailgate parties and find out why the bowl commissions love VT.

You’ll talk with Tech’s fantastic coaching staff including Frank Beamer, Bud Foster and Bryan Stinespring. You’ll understand how the program grew from a hungry statewide contender to a perennial powerhouse through interviews with Tech greats like Bruce Smith, Antonio Freeman, Shayne Graham and Carroll Dale and many more.

You’ll find out how the Corps of Cadets, Marching Virginians, Tech Cheerleaders and Hi-Techs play critical roles in the Hokie game day experience.

From Hokie Man to Sandman, and everything in between, you’ll be immersed in Tech tradition and see why this place is and always has been so special.
