Heading to Morgantown, West Virginia for a gameday? Dive into our breakdown of what you should do for your upcoming trip.
“Country roads, take me home” straight to the heart of Morgantown, West Virginia, where West Virginia University (WVU) combines academic excellence, rich history, and spirited Mountaineers pride. Established in 1867, the university is renowned for its strong programs in engineering, journalism, and forestry. The picturesque campus, with its iconic Woodburn Hall and sprawling lawns, provides an inspiring backdrop for student life. The West Virginia Mountaineers’ football and basketball teams ignite school spirit, energizing the city with their athletic prowess. Morgantown itself offers a unique blend of Appalachian charm and modern amenities, including its rich outdoor recreation scene, scenic views, and vibrant arts community. When it’s time to unwind, head to the lively downtown area, where you’ll find an array of student hangouts, popular eateries, and entertainment venues along High Street. And don’t forget about the quirky PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) system – it’s like an amusement park ride for getting around campus. Experience the unique traditions, like the “Mantrip” before home football games, and the tight-knit community that West Virginia University has to offer. Embrace the warmth of the “Mountain Mama” as you join the Mountaineers family.

Tailgating 101

Milan Puskar Stadium opened in 1980. This beauty has seen its share of expansions and updates, and currently seats just over 60,000. The stadium has hosted unforgettable moments, like Major Harris' amazing run against Penn State in 1988, or the 2003 victory over Virginia Tech that ended with fans tearing down the goal posts.
