Mountaineer Field

Mountaineer Field is a football stadium in Morgantown that features a modern FieldTurf playing surface along with luxury suites and club-level seating sections for enhanced viewing. The facility combines playing area upgrades with premium hospitality options throughout the structure.

The stadium opened on September 27, 1924, replacing the original field that was located on West Virginia University's main campus. Since its founding, the facility has undergone various improvements to meet the evolving needs of the university's athletic programs.

At every home game, spectators participate in singing John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' to show support for the West Virginia Mountaineers. This collective ritual creates a sense of belonging among fans and connects them to the team's identity and local spirit.

The stadium offers multiple parking options both on campus and in satellite lots surrounding the venue. Arriving early on game day helps ensure parking availability and allows time to navigate the grounds comfortably.

The stadium reached its peak attendance during a game against Miami on November 20, 1993, when it hosted over 70,000 spectators. This record crowd demonstrates the extraordinary support the team generates within the region.
