College football season officially kicked off over the weekend, and while fans around the country got loud in support of their favorite teams, no fans did it quite like those in attendance of the Virginia Tech game. It has become tradition at Virginia Tech for fans to sing along with Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ as the team enters the field, but things got cranked up a bit this year. As seen in a photo that has since gone viral, fans singing the Metallica song actually got so loud, it registered on a seismograph.
While fans didn’t quite cause an earthquake during the Virginia Tech football team’s entrance, the noise level in Blacksburg, VA was raucous enough to register on a seismograph. “See if you can spot the Enter Sandman,” the viral photo was captioned, as a clear blip on the radar appears when the song started. According to Loudwire, ‘Enter Sandman’ has been used by the school as their football team’s entrance song since 2000.
For Friday’s game, the 65,000 people in attendance helped create enough sound not only to register on a seismograph, but also to help the team on their way to a 17-10 victory over North Carolina, according to Loudwire. Even Metallica has to be jealous of that.
