Virginia to Open “1931 Club” at Scott Stadium in 2027
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia athletics announced the establishment of the “1931 Club” at Scott Stadium, a premium club seating option centered on the 50-yard line of the west sideline. Renovation of the current stadium press box space will begin at the conclusion of the 2026 season and is scheduled to be available for the 2027 home opener.
The club’s name is a nod to the stadium’s first season and first game on Oct. 15, 1931 against VMI.
The new experience will deliver unmatched views of every play while setting a new standard for comfort and premium amenities. It also offers UVA’s most dedicated supporters with a unique opportunity to play a leadership role in shaping the future of Virginia Athletics.
The renovation will elevate the game-day experience through enhanced premium seating offerings, including three distinct options: Ledge, Club, and Drink Rail seating. Ledge and Club seating will pair outdoor seating with access to a climate-controlled indoor hospitality space featuring expanded food and beverage selections, dedicated restrooms and best-in-class service and operations.
"A record-breaking 11-win season proved what’s possible when a program is built with purpose, vision and exceptional leadership. Guided by years of thoughtful planning and research, our investment in new premium seating at Scott Stadium will create a premier experience for our fans and strengthen our ability to compete for championships for years to come.” - Virginia Director of Athletics Carla Williams
The Virginia Athletics Foundation (VAF) is now accepting digital interest form submissions for the newest premium club experience for UVA football games.
As part of the project, press and media operations will relocate to the north end of Scott Stadium following the 2026 season.
