Game Day - From The Skybox
In the previous game day football series, we last watched the Virginia Cavaliers from the hillside. Today, we see the game from a skybox.

It has a unique and scenic stadium, and old school fans. Scott stadium is the 27th largest college stadium, with seating for 61,500. Yet, it’s a mere piker compared to the eight top college stadiums that hold over 100,000. The open hillside and colonnade motif emphasize a Jeffersonian connection to the human scale in architec
