Metallica Why?

This week while looking for things to do I decided to look concerts in the area. I saw many concerts at James Madison and other local colleges but not much at Virginia Tech. I then saw that Metallica, the band that sings Virginia Techs theme song Enter Sandman, was playing a show at rival university Virginia. This completely blew my mind. Why in the world would Metallica play a show at UVA but not at one of the colleges that embraces them so much?
Some may say that the city of Blacksburg has a lot less people and that Metallica would not want to come here because of that reason. I find this to be very illogical because Virginia Tech is the largest college in Virginia and I am sure every student would show up to see Enter Sandman blasted through Lane Stadium by the band itself. The stadium would all jump up and down and go absolutely crazy just like at every single sporting event. Lane stadium would sell out and Metallica would have 66,000 plus screaming fans at their concert.
Also, the stupid Virginia students could never appreciate Metallica on the level that Virginia Tech does. Virginia Tech considers Metallica and that song to be a huge part of our culture so I think it’s just wrong that they aren’t playing here. It seems like the only logical place for Metallica to play.
