The Sandman Experience

Get a first-person look at what goes into the greatest entrance in College Football.

[@editorrbr2107]

Three-time Alabama grad. And this is *still* the best stadium intro of any sport in the country. There’s not even a close second.

[@bellzo5]

Im die hard Clemson fan but i got to say after seeing this when they played us on ABC Saturday night this is the best entrance in college football

[@stevenstone9272]

As a Hokie fan I have to say Death Valley is best stadium atmosphere I have experienced. Great fans, great views and the sundresses😎. VT won big that day but you guys have had our number ever since.

[@bellzo5]

@@stevenstone9272 bro I have always respected y'all since ya came to the ACC. Yall held it down for years fought against Bama Stanford boise st and others we won the last 4 battles but they are never easy and always funny I can't wait til y'all be ranked again so we can continue having great battles #go 🐅 and I love enter sandman

[@Onlymelan8e]

too bad for virginia tech fans. virginia tech will be known as the team that stopped college football . no hardcore metallica enter sandman for you guys, you will be known as the wussies. you cant play the metallica song anymore because you opted out of the college season and tried to destroy acc football..... way to go weaklikngs.....

iam now 60 years of age. as a former Waterpolo Pro in Germany i only play before 11oo people at our homepool, then at the eurocup in arenas up to 7500. Eachtime i loved it as more crazy it was and let me spent a great performance! By watching this here, goosebumps all over my body, tears in my eyes, this is what you will miss in your common life! MONSTER, wish i were there...

You’re welcome anytime.

[@michaelf.bender3718]

I'm a Wisconsin Badgers fan and a Metallica fan. When I found out that Virginia Tech ran onto the field to Enter Sandman, I loved it because that is my favorite Metallica song. The funniest thing about this entrance however is that a majority of the players on the team probably listen to rap/hop anyway and they don't even like, listen, or have even heard of Metallica.

[@basvanrijn770]

Not just the players. I am Maiden all the way, so not the biggest Metallica fan. But hearing 60.000 people sing along with this, gives me hope that there will be a New Wave of Metal.

My eldest brother started doing all their Sports Marketing as ISP since back in 1993 and later as IMG College. He told me about this explosion of sound and boy it is just AWESOME!! (Go Deacs but gotta up the noise…haha😂)

[@ruckus1713]

Got to witness this once as a graduate trainer. It's one of the coolest entrances but was kinda a weird experience. Maybe it was because it was late in the season and they got burned out on it, but it hyped up our guys way more than tech's. Super strange since they were a team that relied on momentum/energy and were in the midst of closing out a pretty good season.

[@panther_4_life227]

I got 5 yrs left of school then hopefully it's on to Hokie Nation
