Pack Scott Stadium: Hoos Need a Full House Friday Night vs Florida State
This Friday night isn’t just another game on the schedule. When Virginia hosts a Red Hot and Top 10 Florida State under the lights at Scott Stadium, the Hoos won’t just be battling the Seminoles—they’ll be competing on a national stage, in front of the entire country on ESPN. And if there’s one thing we know from history, when Scott Stadium is full and electric, the atmosphere can change everything.

Students: Stay Loud, Stay Late
First and foremost, we need the students. Fill the student section. Fill the Hill. Bring your roommates, your friends, your neighbors, and spend your Friday night together inside Scott Stadium for three and a half hours. Do not leave at halftime. This is a primetime game against a top-10 opponent. Every voice, every clap, every cheer matters until the final whistle.
Remember 2019? The Hoos took down Florida State in one of the most memorable nights in recent program history. The energy from a packed stadium was immeasurable. Or look back to the legendary 1995 upset—just pull up the highlights on YouTube and watch the stands shaking. That kind of environment doesn’t just happen. Fans make it happen.
All Fans: Buy the Tickets, Bring the Noise
Beyond the student section, UVA fans everywhere have a role to play. Buy up the remaining tickets. Pack every corner of Scott Stadium. Stand on third downs when the defense is on the field. Make noise. Do not let Florida State’s offense get comfortable.
This isn’t just about one game—it’s about sending a message. To the rest of the ACC. To the country. To recruits watching from near and afar. Virginia football is back, and we need Scott Stadium to become a tough place to play.
Why This Game Matters
Beating FSU would do more than push Virginia to 4–0 at home and keep the Hoos undefeated in the ACC—it would keep alive real hopes of competing for the ACC Championship. This is a program-building moment. A win on Friday doesn’t just add to the standings; it creates momentum, credibility, and excitement that ripple far beyond one night.
And let’s not forget recruiting. A great turnout—thousands of fans in blue, on their feet, making Scott Stadium thunder—shows high school stars that Virginia is a place where football matters.
A Blue-Out Under the Lights
Friday’s game is officially a Blue Out. Wear your blue, be proud, and be loud. When ESPN cameras pan across Scott Stadium, let the nation see a sea of Wahoo pride.
The Cavalier Connection will be there—and we’ll be loud. We’re asking you to be right there with us.
Why Not Us?
This is the moment to show what Virginia football can be. The players and coaches are getting ready and doing their part. But it takes all of us together—students, alumni, fans across Charlottesville and beyond—to make Scott Stadium the fortress it should be.
So on Friday night, under the lights, against a top-10 Florida State team, let’s prove it. Let’s pack Scott Stadium. Let’s stay until the end. Let’s be the difference.
Why not us, Virginia?
