About Lane Stadium
Lane Stadium, a college football venue in the eastern United States, stands in Blacksburg, Virginia, on the Virginia Tech campus; the university's full name is Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Its playing surface is called Worsham Field. The Virginia Tech Hokies, in the Atlantic Coast Conference, play their home games there. Edward Hudson Lane, a one-time student who became a local businessman and a booster of Virginia Tech, is the stadium's namesake, and the field carries the name of Wes Worsham, a donor and booster of the university.
School administrator Stuart K. Cassell proposed a larger stadium in 1963 to take the place of the 17,000-seat Miles Stadium. Building started on April 1, 1964. The first game, in 1965, was a 9–7 win for VT over William & Mary. Construction was completed in the summer of 1968, officially costing $3.5 million, and the stadium seated 35,050. Like many stadiums of its era, it had two bowed grandstands along the sidelines, plus bleachers that stood free behind each end zone.
An expansion of the east stands in 1980 raised capacity to 52,500. In 1992 the playing surface was dedicated to Wes and Janet Worsham, longtime supporters from Kilmarnock, and renamed Worsham Field. The south end zone gained 11,120 seats before the 2002 season, which effectively closed off that end. A west-side expansion, finished before the 2006 season, added a two-tier grandstand and raised capacity to 66,233. In 2018 the university unveiled a statue of Frank Beamer, its former head coach, in front of the main entrance.

- Open frames of columns
- The grandstands stand on open frames of slim columns and beams. Print friendly adapts these thin members to your print scale; Full detail keeps them, best on a larger print with 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers.
- Fine seating rows
- The curved stands show many fine rows of seating, which stay easier to read on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- Lane Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Lane Stadium takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
