Mountaineer Field
Morgantown, WV

Located in Morgantown, WV and home of the West Virginia Mountaineers, Mountaineer Field is the largest non-NFL stadium (Heinz Field and Raymond James Stadium) in the Big East Conference. In the late 1970s, West Virginia decided to build a new stadium for their football program as the old Mountaineer Field was unable to be expanded because of its location. By 1980, the stadium was complete near the campus and named Mountaineer Field . WVU played their first game at their stadium on September 8, 1960. As it was when it opened, Mountaineer Field remains one of the largest stadiums in the conference with a capacity of 60,000.

Endzone at Mountaineer Field 
by Rob Arra

The stadium consists of a lower deck that encloses the entire playing field and upper decks on the east and west sides. Throughout the past 25 years, there have been few additions to Mountaineer Field. A new video/scoreboard was added in the north end of the stadium before the 1995 season. The original Astroturf playing surface was replaced with Astroplay in 2002. Eighteen suites were added in 2004 in the north endzone that generate more money for the athletic department. Before the 2007 season the Astroplay was replaced with Fieldturf. Over the past several years, the Mountaineers have maintained a quality team that has been very competitive. Fans continue to come out to support the team and hear John Denver’s song “Take Me Home Country Roads” which has become famous at Mountaineer games. In recent years WVU has become one of the top football programs in both the Big East Conference and in college football.
