Capacity in WVU Coliseum going up to 2,800 on Feb. 13

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia University and its Department of Intercollegiate Athletics plan to increase capacity for events in the WVU Coliseum to 2,800 spectators, beginning with the Mountaineer men’s basketball game against Oklahoma on Feb. 13.

Due to ongoing COVID-19 protocols, and for the overall safety of spectators at indoor events, attendance will be capped at 20% capacity. WVU officials will continue monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and make changes to the attendance policy, if needed, based on current health conditions.

With the overall capacity limited to 2,800, there will not be a public sale of tickets for men’s basketball games. Priority will be given to families and guests of the players and coaching staffs, along with a limited number of WVU students and fans.

Active Mountaineer Athletic Club members at the Champions level and below who were also men’s basketball season ticket holders during the 2019-20 season will receive an email Friday with ticket ordering information for the Oklahoma game and the Feb. 15 contest against Baylor. Ticket ordering information for the Kansas State game and any rescheduled men’s basketball home game will be sent the week of Feb. 15.

Active Blue Scholar level donors and above who previously purchased tickets for the Florida and/or Kansas games will have their orders for future games processed separately and no further action is required at this time.
