Wed May 07 21:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Lifelong Metallica Fans and Virginia Tech Alumni to Witness Dream Concert at Lane Stadium
**Blacksburg, VA** – George Probst and Jeff Holland, two Virginia Tech alumni with a shared passion for Metallica and over 200 combined Metallica concert experiences, are eagerly anticipating Wednesday night’s concert at Lane Stadium. The show, part of Metallica’s M72 World Tour, marks a culmination of years of speculation and anticipation for the Blacksburg community.
Probst and Holland, who first bonded over their shared love of Metallica in the early 90s as Virginia Tech students, have seen the band perform across the globe. This upcoming show holds special significance, as Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” has served as the entrance music for Virginia Tech’s football team since 2000. “There’s nobody who’s more Virginia Tech and Metallica than us,” Probst declared.
Holland, a senior site acquisition specialist, and Probst, an underwater wildlife photographer and software administrator, have attended 104 and 102 Metallica concerts respectively, traveling extensively to witness the band’s legendary performances. They’ve shared countless memories, including a private performance in Nashville and a front-row experience at the Apollo Theater in New York City.
For Wednesday’s concert, both have secured VIP packages, securing prime positions in the “snake pit” at the center of the stage. Their excitement reflects the broader anticipation within the Virginia Tech community, where the event is seen as a dream come true for many longtime fans. The concert promises to be a memorable night, blending the shared passion of two dedicated fans with a momentous event for their alma mater.
