Getting to the stadium

Tailgating

Checked at the source
WVU athletics lots open at 7 AM for Saturday games. Parking is first come, first served and you can't save spots. Small canopies up to 10 x 10 feet, only in designated areas, next to your car, with a permit for that lot, and only after 7 AM. Secure them and keep walkways clear. Tailgates are limited to 20 people per spot. No kegs or excessive alcohol in or around the stadium, and no drinking games. No tailgating in the Green Garage. Black RV Lot at the Coliseum needs no permit: pay the attendant from 8 AM Friday. Other RV lots need a pass from the WVU Ticket Office (304-293-3541). RVs must leave by noon the day after. Turn music down or off by 11 PM out of respect for the neighbors.

Getting in

Checked at the source
  • Bag policy: One clear bag up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches or a one-gallon plastic bag, plus a small clutch up to 6 x 9 inches.

After the final whistle

From a specialist guide
The PRT runs for at least an hour after football games that end outside normal hours. Weeknight-game RVs and cars must leave the lots right after the game.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Don't park in a permit lot before 7 AM on game day: any car left there early gets towed, permit or not.
