Configuration
Known for its classical construction (with features such as the pergola) as well as its unique "grass-seating" area called The Hill, Scott Stadium is regarded as one of the best places in America to watch a college football game. The stadium, which holds 61,500, is large for a school of just 13,000 undergraduates and 6,000 graduates, but it is regularly filled to and even past capacity. In Valencia a newly-installed pergola shows its structure, which the climbing roses will cover. ...

History Built as a replacement for the old Lambeth Field or "Colonnades," Scott Stadium bears the name of donor and University Rector Frederic Scott, and held 25,000 spectators at opening. The stadium is considered one of the most beautiful facilities in the nation, and formerly had a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and specifically Monticello Mountain out the south end of the stadium. An artificial turf system was installed in 1974, making impossible a long tradition of a mounted Cavalier riding into the stadium with the football team. David A. Harrison III provided a gift allowing natural grass to be reinstalled in the stadium, and the Cavalier has ridden into Scott, waving his sabre high, every game since 1995. Another more unique feature of Scott Stadium is the Adventures of Cavman, which takes place a few minutes prior to kickoff, on the videoboard. In this computer generated skit, the mascot of the opposing team is causing trouble on the Grounds of UVA, and the Cavalier slays him, then rides to the stadium via the Grounds. After the skit is over, the live Cavalier rides onto the field.

Carl Smith's donations helped make the most recent contributions to Scott Stadium in 2000, filling in the upper deck and south end to allow 20,000 additional fans, and installing the pergola, state of the art lighting and gigantic audio/visual tower known as "Hoo-Vision," as well as a new lighting system placed on towers with "V's" built in. While the dramatic view of the Blue Ridge was lost in this expansion, Scott Stadium remains a sight to behold. The facility's official name, a result of this string of donations, may be the longest for a sports venue in the United States, and possibly the world. This article is about the year 2000. ...

Traditions and Controversy Traditionally, males wear coats and ties and females wear sundresses to games, which is also tradition at Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, and Ole Miss. Beginning during the 2003 season, however, head coach Al Groh called upon fans to set aside traditional attire for orange clothing. During the 2004 and 2005 seasons, many fans took to wearing orange t-shirts with slogans like "Orange Crush", "Orange Fever", "Al's Idiots" and "Sea of Orange", and abandoned the ties and sundresses altogether. See image above and notice the orange-colored student section, to the left of where the band was sitting. (There are actually two UVa bands present on Grounds: the 230-piece Cavalier Marching Band, led by a professional band director, and the much smaller Virginia Pep Band, led by fellow students, though the latter only performs outside for the tailgating crowd).

The t-shirt movement has not been welcomed by all, though, as ties and sundresses can still be easily spotted at Scott Stadium. Some have compromised by wearing ties with orange dress shirts, while creative ladies have been spotted in orange sundresses. Many students and alumni feel the "Sea of Orange" has been forced on them by Groh without any indication that it translates to results on the field (or an explanation of why ties have not held back Auburn). On the school's facebook site (a popular online social network for college students), approximately 800 students have joined a group opposing the "Sea of Orange." The Cavalier Daily, the University's daily student-published newspaper, weighed in on the debate in its September 1, 2005, lead editorial.[1] The Declaration, an alternative weekly news magazine at the University, also ran a feature story on the debate prior to the 2006 home opener.[2] For other uses, see Facebook (disambiguation). ...

Notable Games
UVa entered this game with an 0-29 record against Clemson. The win was Virginia's first-ever victory over an opponent ranked in the top ten. Both goalposts came down when the fans stormed the field; the first actually fell with 48 seconds still on the clock. The win proved to be something of a watershed in UVa football history in that it set the stage for the 1990 squad to begin the season 7-0, rising to #1 in the polls for the first time. In addition, whereas UVa had gone 0-29 against Clemson prior to the 1990 game, as of 2006 UVa has gone 8-6-1 against Clemson beginning with that 1990 win.
