The Daily Yankeeland

Virginia Tech University has begun to prepare for the Yankees visit on March 18th. In addition to re-aligning the foul poles, temporary seating is being installed to accommodate a large crowd. Currently the school's English Field holds just 1,000 seats. A crowd of about 5,000 people are expected to attend the game.
The school's baseball team will also be making an adjustment- they'll be using wooden bats rather than the customary aluminum bats.

Tickets will not be available to the general public, but instead will be disseminated through a lottery like the one used for Va Tech's basketball and football tickets.
The Yankees committed to the exhibition game and donated $1 million to Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund after the tragic campus shooting this past April 16.
