The Ultimate Guide to WVU RV Tailgating at the Coliseum Black Lot
There is nothing quite like fall in Morgantown, West Virginia. The crisp air, the sound of the Pride of West Virginia marching band, and the legendary tailgate scene make Mountaineer game days an unforgettable experience.
If you are traveling in for a game and want to experience the ultimate WVU tailgate, the Coliseum Black Lot is the place to be. Here is everything you need to know to plan the perfect RV weekend.
The Black Lot Basics The Black Lot is the premier RV tailgating destination located right at the WVU Coliseum.
-
Opening Time: The lot officially opens on Fridays at 8:00 AM before a Saturday home game.
-
The Cost: There is an $80 lot fee, which is paid directly upon arrival.
-
The Rules: Spots are first-come, first-served, so arriving early on Friday is highly recommended to secure a prime spot with your crew.
-
Checkout: All RVs must pack up and head out by Sunday at 11:00 AM.
Prepare for "Dry Camping" It is important to know that the Black Lot is a "dry camping" or "boondocking" lot. This means there are no physical electric, water, or sewer hookups. To tailgate here, an RV must be fully self-contained with a quiet generator for power, a full fresh water tank, and empty holding tanks for the weekend.

When the weekend is over, just pack your bags and head home—we handle the teardown and tank dumping.
