MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Beginning next season, fans at WVU Coliseum will be jumping out of their seats strictly to cheer — an upgrade from the current combination of cheering mixed with lower-body discomfort.
The Coliseum seats have gone virtually untouched since the building opened in 1970, but that issue is about to become a thing of the past.
West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons announced Tuesday that the Coliseum’s seats will be replaced this summer thanks to a major gift from donors Ken and Jennifer Mason. The dollar amount of the donation was not disclosed.
