The Hall of Traditions is not open this season due to the space being renovated.
Phone charging stations are not available at the stadium this year.
Stadium seatbacks will not be available for rental this year. Portable stadium seats no larger than 18" are allowed as long as they are armless and do not overhang the bleacher or infringe on the seat space of those around you.
To provide a safer environment for Mountaineer fans and to expedite entry into all ticketed WVU athletic events, the West Virginia Department of Intercollegiate Athletics enforces the NFL's Clear Bag Policy. The athletic department invites and encourages fans to visit WVUsports.com/clearbag for more information, to view pictures of permissible and non-permissible items and to obtain answers to frequently asked questions about the clear bag policy.
Fans are asked to reduce what they bring to the stadium this season to minimize contact points and bag searches. When security personnel check bags at the gate, they will not be divesting the bags – each fan will be responsible for showing the contents of his/her individual bag. This includes fans removing all items from their bag for inspection as needed. For quicker entry, do not bring bags inside the stadium.
The following gates are ADA accessible: Northwest, North, Northeast, Southeast and Southwest.
Fans are not permitted to smoke or vape at Milan Puskar Stadium, and designated smoking areas will not be available at the stadium this season.
Tickets

If tickets remain for the game, an announcement regarding general public availability will be made on Monday, Oct. 12.
The Mountaineer Ticket Office opens at the stadium North Gate at 9:30 a.m.
All tickets will be distributed through mobile delivery. Athletics already announced the switch to mobile ticketing at all gates for football to provide a contactless entry, which is the most sanitary, efficient and quickest way to enter a sporting event. Mountaineer fans will download and store tickets to their Apple or Android smartphone, which will never leave the owner's hands and avoids additional touching from stadium security. More information on mobile ticketing is available at WVUsports.com/MobileTickets.
Fans are encouraged to download their tickets to their Apple Wallet or recommended Android Wallet apps prior to arriving at the stadium on game day. If you have questions about mobile ticketing, contact the Mountaineer Ticket Office at 1-800-WVU GAME.

Priority requests will only be taken online. The Mountaineer Ticket Office reserves the right to limit all orders and will assign the best available seat locations. Fans should call 1-800-WVU GAME for customer service assistance and more information on the single-game ticket and parking sales processes.
To ease concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic, season ticket holders from last season who did not renew their tickets in 2020 and/or purchase available single game tickets in 2020 will still be given priority to purchase their same seats from the 2019 season for the 2021 football season.
WVU's stadium capacity plan will continually be evaluated and adjusted throughout the season, and fans will be updated of any changes based on any future changes to the status of the Covid-19 virus on the WVU campus and locally.
