Mountaineer Field offers visiting college football fans plenty of game day excitement. Get to the stadium early and check out the tailgate parties and pregame show, featuring the team's nationally acclaimed marching band. Be sure to stop by the souvenir stands to gear up for the game. The domed, 14,000-seat WVU Coliseum plays host to several athletic events, including Mountaineer basketball and NCAA tournament games. The Coliseum also features concerts throughout the year.
After the excitement of a big game, wind things down with a stroll around the beautiful West Virginia University campus. You can burn off the tailgating calories as you traverse the hilly, tree-lined streets. If visiting in the fall, you will be treated to some colorful foliage peeking out from between the campus buildings. The Earl L. Core Arboretum on campus is home to more than 90 acres of forest and plains. With trails offering access to the dense woods and large open lawns filled with a variety of plant life, there is much to see and explore.
