Description:
Virginia Tech Athletics presents a Tribute to Coach Frank Beamer and Statue Unveiling on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at Moody Plaza at the southwest corner of Lane Stadium footprint adjacent to Beamer Way on the campus of Virginia Tech.

At 4:45 pm, a monument celebrating Coach Beamer will be unveiled. Unlike other monuments honoring iconic figures, this tribute to Coach Frank Beamer will be devoid of any pedestal and will be very approachable just like the man who was taught the values of hard work and loyalty on his family's farm in rural Fancy Gap, Virginia.

Beamer's coaching likeness will be accompanied by a bench where admirers can easily take a photo or spend a moment reflecting on their favorite Virginia Tech moment. Moody Plaza is already a popular gathering spot on campus and will provide additional reason for Hokies of all ages to congregate here. "We are all in this together," has always been a favorite mantra of Beamer, and no doubt he will be pleased that this location will continue to bring the Virginia Tech family together.

Fans and members of the public are encouraged to attend and admission to the ceremony is free.

Thanks to Virginia Tech partner Coca-Cola, miniature replicas of the monument will be available to the first 5,000 fans who enter the gates for the Notre Dame game. Supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, with one replica per person. Gates open two hours prior to kickoff.
