Downtown Parking
Enjoy all-day parking for $5.00 when you park at one of the Downtown Morgantown parking garages up to six hours before kickoff. You must pull your parking ticket from the pay station during this time period, or you will miss out on this flat rate. You may leave your car parked in the garage until midnight or later, depending on the game time. 

Shuttle Service – Suncrest Towne Centre
Free parking is available at the Suncrest Towne Centre for all Home Football Games for fans looking to ride the shuttle. The shuttle is $10.00 per person (Cash Only). Riders will be given a wristband that entitles them to food and drink discounts at several restaurants, including Crab Shack Caribba and Alumni Hall.

Shuttle vans will begin picking up fans at the Crab Shack Caribba up to three hours before kickoff and will transport them to the blue lot for drop off and pick up. Return pick-up will start in the 3rd quarter of the game at the blue lot, taking riders back to Crab Shack Caribba. Shuttles start the pick-up back to Suncrest Towne Centre at the end of the 3rd quarter and will run after the game until everyone is picked up.

 

Shuttle Service – Mountain Line Transit Authority

The Mountain Line Transit Authority provides shuttles to all WVU Football home games. Shuttle buses pick up passengers at the lower entrance to Mountaineer Mall. The cost per passenger is $3.00 round trip, and children 5 and under ride free.

Anyone with a valid WVU ID rides free and valid Tax Pass bus ID holders also ride free.

Shuttles will begin two hours before kickoff. The return trips will begin at the start of the fourth quarter and run for one hour after the game.
