Morgantown Advice

Another vote for Kegler's. Great wings, good sports bar atmosphere.

We had lunch there Friday before the 2013 game and watched Iowa/Nebraska. We were wearing ISU gear, and a couple of guys stopped to chat with us on their way out the door. They said "thanks for coming to Morgantown" and moved on.

When we got done, the waitress bought our check and said they'd paid for 2 pitchers of beer.

WVU fans are awesome.

Does anyone know which section is for visitors?

WV fans are great. They are definitely a lot like ISU fans. We had quite a few drinks bought for us the Friday night there and a tray of shots after the game.

Also, couldn't walk too far in the lots without being offered some 'shine. And it is good.

My buddies and I are driving out to Morgantown for the game, any advice on what we need to do would be appreciated. Also stopping in Canton on the way out to go to the HOF.

Drink lots of water

Texas was booted to the upper decks last weekend but I think that was because they give out ****** seats in Austin.

Where do you suggest getting tickets for the game??

I got my tickets through the DC Chapter of the ISU Alumni Association. They have a contact in the WVU ticket office that allowed them to get tickets in the ISU section at face value ($58 per ticket I believe). We are in section 100. Did the same thing 2 years ago and it worked out great. Can't wait to watch a Cyclone win on Saturday surrounded by Cardinal and Gold!

I'm expecting a sizable away crowd.

Thinking about going. I work Friday, but might see if I can swing a red eye to Pittsburgh or something out of O'Hare and rent a car from there.

No. I’ll be in Des Moines.

My brother is getting married on 10-12.

Yes, I know, inexcusable setting the date on a Saturday in the fall.

Why not just disown your brother?

I've been to the ISU game in Morgantown twice and both times sat in section 100.

Technically his fiancée set the date.

As a former band geek (all three of us, actually), she should have know better.

My wife and I are planning to come down to the game from Buffalo, NY and I'm looking at tickets. How are the seats in the corner in the visitor section?

I'm just trying to decide what's better; sitting in a section with a bunch of Cyclone fans with a not so good view or getting better tickets somewhere midfield but being surrounded by WVU fans.

It’s always fun to sit with ISU fans, but WVU fans are generally a pretty good group, so I doubt you’d be getting yelled at or assaulted if you sat amongst them. I sat in a group of them for basketball last year and they were all super nice (probably helps that they gave us an ass whooping from pretty much tip off).

Probably just what you personally prefer. Remember, they do sell beer in the stadium too.

I’m back in Iowa helping with harvest, but if it rains enough, we’re going to go. 3 or 4 of us.

We’re thinking it’s going to be a long/rough muddy harvest. Hopefully not.

Probably just buy tickets on site. Last Big 12 town to visit, looking forward to it!

I'm not up on the trendy places, but there are two never changing cool places you shouldn't miss if you can make time:

1) Cooper's Rock State Forest. Go Friday or Sunday. It's about 20 minutes outside of town. The overlook is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. If you're physically able, take a hike along the "underlook." Boulders as big as houses and incredible views. Both of these are about 3 miles inside the forest. Follow the signs to the Overlook.

2) Mario's Fishbowl -- An iconic little quirky bar. The place is very small and will be crowded, but ‘clones fans will be taken care of. Make sure you go to the Richwood Ave (original) location. They serve beer in giant heavy goblets called Fishbowls. The place is overfilled with history and memorabilia. Was there a couple of weeks ago and we played beer pong across the room from table to table with strangers.

Sorry. No specifics because I’m always in the Blue Lot before 7 AM. But there are a ton of closed businesses and houses that are within a mile of the stadium that offer parking for $20 or $30.
