MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The WVU athletic department, in conjunction with university, local and state officials, determined that football’s season opener against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 12 will take place without spectators at Milan Puskar Stadium.
“We are disappointed that we will not be able to allow fans to attend the Sept. 12 home game, but we are working diligently to open our gates for Big 12 Conference play,” athletic director Shane Lyons said. “It is our goal to have fans at Milan Puskar Stadium this season, but right now, that is not possible for the EKU game.
In the coming days, 2020 season ticket purchasers will be receiving information from the Mountaineer Athletic Club and the Mountaineer Ticket Office on options for allocating their season ticket investment for any remaining home games with spectators.
Football season ticket holders from 2019 will maintain ticket priority for 2021, regardless of their purchase status in 2020.
Broadcast and kickoff time for the Eastern Kentucky game will be announced at a later date.
