MORGANTOWN -
With three games taking place on Friday, Nov. 4, at the Coliseum sports complex, the following
information will assist WVU students, staff, faculty and the general public with parking arrangements at the Coliseum that day.
Aside from the daily classes at the Coliseum, the complex will
be the site on Friday of the semifinals of the BIG EAST Women's Soccer
Championship and the men's basketball exhibition game against Northern
Kentucky.
"This Friday will be a busy day at the Coliseum sports
complex, but throughout the hard work of the athletic department, all
fans and students coming to the Coliseum will be accommodated," says
Associate Athletic Director for Business Operations Michael Szul. "We
have had busy days like this in the past, and the plans that are in
place have worked wonderfully."
WVU athletic parking personnel will be on the Coliseum grounds
beginning at 11 p.m. on Thursday to assist and direct traffic to the
proper lots for the following:
WVU Students:
Students who have classes in the Coliseum on Friday will be
allowed to park in the Natatorium lot for free until 3:30 p.m. Students
who don't have classes in the Coliseum but in other areas of the
Evansdale campus may park for free in the Coliseum lots near the
Arboretum until 3:30 p.m. Space is limited
Faculty and Staff:
WVU faculty and staff that work at the Coliseum will be allowed
to park for free.
BIG EAST Women's Soccer:
Spectators attending the BIG EAST women's soccer semifinal
games at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium at 3 and 5:30 p.m., will be given a
parking pass and allowed to park for free in the Natatorium parking lot,
but must leave at the conclusion of the second game. Those attending the
soccer games who wish to stay for the men's basketball game will be
charged $20 to park.
Men's Basketball:
The proper parking passes will be required to park in the
Coliseum lots for the men's basketball game at 7 p.m. A limited amount
of parking will be available for fans without parking passes for $20.
General Parking:
All areas of the Coliseum parking lot will be blocked on Friday
for the men's basketball game, which reduces general parking for those
who park in the Coliseum lots on a daily basis.
To offset this parking loss, all are reminded that short-term
parking is available at the Mountaineer Station on Van Voorhis Road, at
a variety of short-term lots on the Evansdale campus, and in downtown
parking garages and lots operated by the Morgantown Parking Authority.
All of these alternatives have easy access to the PRT and Mountain Line
bus system, which is free to WVU students, faculty and staff.
Information on Morgantown Parking Authority, Mountain Line, short-term
parking locations and the PRT is available at the Department of
Transportation and Parking website – http://transportation.wvu.edu.
There is no overnight parking allowed at the Coliseum. Also, a
limited number of parking spots by the Natatorium will be available for
men's basketball events at a cost of $20, starting two-and-a-half
hours before game time. ADA parking is available at the Coliseum, with
the proper credentials, for a cost of $20.
Shuttle Service:
Once again this year, the WVU Department of Intercollegiate
Athletics will be running a shuttle in conjunction with Central Cab in
an effort to help fans attending men's basketball games. Fans are
encouraged to park at the Green Lot across from the United Center on Van
Voorhis Roach and ride the shuttle to the games. Cost of the shuttle is
$4 round trip, and it runs 90 minutes prior to tip-off and 60 minutes
after the game. The special service will pick fans up at the Green Lot
and take them to the Coliseum Blue Gate prior to the game. At the
conclusion of the game, fans can board the shuttle at the Blue Gate and
will be transported back to their vehicles at the Green Lot.
PRT Service:
PRT service also is available for 50 cents one-way on Friday.
The PRT will run one hour after the conclusion of the men's basketball
exhibition game.
Football RV Parking:
The Coliseum lots will open for football RV parking at 11 p.m.
on Friday, Nov. 4.
