YMCA at Virginia Tech football tailgate parking raffle underway
BLACKSBURG – Imagine pulling into your reserved parking spot just minutes from Lane Stadium, setting up your tailgate with ease, and enjoying every Virginia Tech home football game without the stress of finding parking.
Now imagine doing it all season long.
The YMCA at Virginia Tech is giving one lucky Hokie fan the ultimate game day upgrade through its 2026 Tailgate Parking Raffle. The grand prize winner will receive one reserved parking space in the Lancaster House parking lot for every 2026 Virginia Tech home football game, complete with tailgating space and access to private restrooms.
Located just half a mile from Lane Stadium – about a 10-minute walk – the prize offers convenience, comfort and bragging rights all season long.
Consider formatting as a bulleted list or removing from body text; if kept as prose, it needs a main verb and proper sentence structure.
And there’s another reason to feel good about entering.
Every raffle ticket purchased supports the YMCA at Virginia Tech’s community programs, helping fund initiatives that strengthen the New River Valley through youth development, food assistance, after-school programs, family support services, and community outreach.
Tickets are limited. Only 2,500 tickets will be printed and sold. Ticket prices: one ticket for $25, or five tickets for $100.
“Every ticket is more than a chance to win premium game day parking—it’s an investment in building a stronger, healthier, and more connected community,” said YMCA representatives. “When you play, everyone wins.”
Whether you’re a die-hard Hokie fan, a seasoned tailgater, or someone looking for the perfect gift for a Virginia Tech football enthusiast, this raffle offers a rare opportunity to secure stress-free parking for the entire season while making a meaningful local impact.
