Mountaineer Field, Football stadium in Morgantown, United States.
Mountaineer Field is a college football stadium in Morgantown, West Virginia, home to the West Virginia University Mountaineers, with an artificial FieldTurf playing surface, luxury suites, and club-level seating. The venue sits on the WVU campus and holds around 60,000 spectators.
The stadium opened on September 27, 1924, replacing an earlier field on the main WVU campus. Over the following decades it was expanded and renovated several times to keep pace with the university's growing football program.
At every home game, fans come together to sing John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' as a show of support for the West Virginia Mountaineers. The song has become so tied to the team that it plays after every touchdown and at the final whistle.
On game days, parking fills up quickly both on campus and in nearby satellite lots, so arriving early makes the experience much smoother. The stadium is within walking distance of the main WVU campus, which makes it easy to reach on foot from most university buildings.
Although the venue is commonly called Mountaineer Field, its official name has been Milan Puskar Stadium since 2003, after a pharmaceutical businessman who donated to the university. Most fans still use the older name in everyday conversation, so both names circulate side by side.
