The product is a full ticket from the 2011 Discover Orange Bowl football game between Stanford Cardinal and Virginia Tech Hokies.

This vintage sports memorabilia is an original, near mint grade ticket stub featuring the event/tournament.

It provides a unique piece of history for fans of either team or collectors of sports memorabilia.

The 2011 Orange Bowl was held at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.



• The game featured the Stanford Cardinal (visitor) vs. the Virginia Tech Hokies (home). 

• Stanford entered the game with an 11–1 record; Virginia Tech came in at 11–2. 

• The final score was Stanford 40, Virginia Tech 12. 

• The 2011 game was notable as it was the first Orange Bowl under the new title-sponsorship by Discover Financial Services, marking a change from previous sponsorship.

• For Stanford, this was a major milestone: the victory capped a spectacular turnaround — just a few years prior, the program had struggled mightily.



• The lead-up to the game had drawn attention to Stanford’s rise and to the skill of Andrew Luck; the performance in the Orange Bowl validated that hype. 

• For Virginia Tech, the loss exposed vulnerabilities — especially the inability to respond offensively under pressure — and despite a strong season, their bowl finish was disappointing. 

• The 2011 Orange Bowl marked a new era for the bowl’s branding (with Discover as sponsor) — representing both tradition and transition in college football at that time.
