What to do when visiting WVU campus?

[Ranger Dan]

my wife and I are going to the men’s basketball exhibition game between PSU and WVU in Morgantown on Saturday. Are there any must do things that we can do Saturday AM before the game? I don’t mean couch burning or making moonshine... clearly those are evening events. I mean things similar to the lion shrine or food items like grilled stickers or creamery ice cream. Thanks in advance and I’ll do my best to tolerate funny but not helpful responses...

A guy I went to high school with owns Black Bear Burritos, and it’s supposed to be really good.

I kinda like the making moonshine idea

The Arboretum is next to the Coliseum.

That statement made me laugh out loud.

Go to Bartini Prime.

 

[sluggo72]

get a Biscuit from Tudor's Biscuit world ( you can get a Mountaineer which is Egg, cheese, hash browns, Sausage? on a biscuit)
and then pre game go bar surfing at Crockett's, drink from the fish bowls!

Probably should ask on the WVU board... doubt many people here will give you a serious answer.

Second this one, and can vouch for it. It’s a nice little spot right downtown, and they usually have live music on Saturday nights. Good local beer, good food, and I like the atmosphere.

 

[We Are . . .]

Drive up to Cooper's Rock State Forest (12.5 miles from town on I-68) and enjoy the view from the overlook.

 

[Ranger Dan]

Go to Bartini Prime.

What is this?

 

[PSU Soupy]

Don’t ask me, I met my wife to be at WVU. Met her in Tailgaters Pub after a PSU/ WVU Game.

 

[Ranger Dan]

Probably should ask on the WVU board... doubt many people here will give you a serious answer.

But I don’t typically visit other boards. This might be. Cause for an exception, but I can’t stand other team fans coming here and it ending up getting into a poop slinging contest.

 

[Nittany Security]

Damn I can't think of anything witty to say

 

[BarryPSU]

I live in Morgantown and can give you a few things to do. They have a tram system with little cable cars that travel around campus. They have a nice minor league baseball stadium that gives you a nice view of Morgantown with restaurants close by. Keglers, Mario's Fishbowl, the Beanery, BW3 are a few bars close to Evansdale campus and coliseum. Cheat Lake and Cooper's Rock are some recreational areas close to town. Some advice, don't pay $20 to park but park across the street at the Creative Arts Center for free.

This is a good suggestion. You can do this from MoTown in about an hour (round trip). I have always been partial to the Boston Beanery but that was many moons ago.

 

[PSU Soupy]

Good call on Cheat Lake.

 

[LeatherHelmets]

Burn a couch?

Bang your cousin?

 

[psuro]

Could always spend time pulling a boat trailer out of a tree.

 

[Aardvark86]

Leave

 

[novaclassof90]

My sister lived in Mtown for 5 yrs. I would second the votes for Black Bear Burritos and Coopers Rock. Not much left after that, maybe take a walk along the Monongahela.

When did Motown get a minor league baseball stadium? It wasn't there when I left in 2012.

Female perspective: When my son was WVU student from 2002-2006 I like to visit the former glass factory converted into shops and dining (Glasshouse Grill?). Also used to enjoy the downtown shops and liked an Italian restaurant Oliverio’s by the wharf. Have fun!

 

[Pizzaboy1]

Some real funny comments guys! I've never heard the coach burning.moonshine drinking, my cousin is also my wife,trailer park jokes where did you get them from?I suggest any of the Beanery,Keglers,Black Bears or Crab Shack for a drink and food before or after the game.Sorry no Tudors Biscuit in Motown but we do have a lot of Sheetz where you can buy pepperoni rolls. If your coming in on I68 stop at Cooper's Rock for the view.Don't forget we sell beer at the Coliseum buy a couple to support our athletic budget.Enjoy the game and take it easy on our inexperienced backcourt. The old pizzaboy will be in Section 127 stop and say hi.

In 2015 The Wva Black Bears came to Motown.They are a Class A Pirate affiliate and Wvu also uses the stadium.

P.S.I don't feel so bad because I asked my wife( who taught in Motown for 33 years) is there a Tudors in town now,she said he'll no!

The Black Bears and the stadium have been here about 3 years. It is off exit 154 on I79.

Thanks. We are just going to have Saturday AM to explore, but will see which of your suggestions may work.

 

[Ranger Dan]

take it easy on our inexperienced backcourt.

We just lost two of the most productive guards in our mediocre basketball history, so I’m not going to feel bad for your Mountainerrs.

Also, no offense meant on the jokes. You will certainly have the last laugh after the game on Saturday.

Garfield's??

 

[ThatNehlenFeelin]

Mario's Fishbowl. There's the original one on Richwood Ave or the new location over by the Coliseum on University Ave.

Ask the waitress for a plate and crayons to put something up on the wall. I believe there are a few non-WVU teams represented on the walls.

 

[ThatNehlenFeelin]

Don’t ask me, I met my wife to be at WVU. Met her in Tailgaters Pub after a PSU/ WVU Game.

Where was Tailgaters located? That had to have been 30+ years ago.

 

[Diego Badman]

Does anybody remember this after West Virginia won the NIT? I guess they were in a hurry to get those shirts printed. Or not.

 

[psuro]

You could go to the spot on Mountaineer Field where Major Harris juked Quintus McDonald so hard that McDonald's cleat left a small crater in the turf as he tried to recover. And missed.
