Right before you walk out the tunnel you're strapped up ready to play and
you're just hearing the crowd. Every seat is filled and it's just like goosebumps.
In that moment you feel invincible, you can do anything. It's like "okay we're here and it's
time to put on the show." That's what makes Scott Stadium. There's no place like home.
In the game of football there are three recognized sides of the ball. You got offense, there's defense,
special teams. Well here at Virginia we have the 4th Side and that's us rooting for us.
The teams heart and soul and cultures manifest by the behavior on the sideline. Showing that
you're invested, that you're fully into the game, fully into this team, fully into this culture.
It means a lot. Coach Mendenhall will just go through the film to find and show examples of the
4th Side. It allows everyone to be recognized as somebody. Everything we put into this program
lives in our 4th Side. All that hard work comes out in just energy and celebration and providing
the spark on the sideline. Whoever you see having fun, they're a part of the 4th Side. I'm not only talking
about the sideline but I'm talking about the stadium itself. You just hear like the "boom!" that
fuels our boys big time. Being a fan of Virginia Football you're part of the 4th Side. We want
anyone that's within this community connected across the country that loves UVA that bleeds
orange and blue to feel a part of everything that we do. It really helps us play for something that's
bigger than us. It gives you more meaning, gives you more of a why. You have so many people at
your back that you feel like you can conquer the world. Where would you rather be honestly?
