WVU's Gold-Blue Game set for Saturday

All tickets will be issued via mobile delivery and fans are encouraged to claim and download their tickets to their mobile wallet, before arriving at the stadium on game day.

In lieu of the cost of admission, fans are encouraged to make a donation to WVU Medicine Children’s at the time of checkout when claiming their ticket. Students can enter at any gate by showing their student IDs.

Headlining the Gold-Blue Spring Game will be an Almost Heaven Village Kickoff Concert featuring Morgantown native Huey Mack. Admission is free to the public. The concert will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the East Side of Milan Puskar Stadium between the Light Blue and Teal parking lots.

Huey Mack, born Joseph Dalton Michael in Morgantown, West Virginia, started getting into music and production at age 14. He began toying with the idea of music as a half-hearted hobby for most of his time in high school. By age 17, he started releasing a series of free digital mixtapes.

Fans are invited to bring their own food and beverages to the concert, but there also will be food trucks onsite. Concession stands inside the stadium will open at 11 a.m.

Along with the kickoff concert, the Almost Heaven Village fan experience area will offer fans the opportunity to pick up an exclusive schedule poster, enjoy food trucks, inflatables, a DJ, yard games, photo opportunities, balloon artistry and face painting, along with appearances from the WVU Spirit Squads. Almost Heaven Village will be open three hours before kickoff (9 a.m.) and will close 30 minutes before kickoff (11:30 a.m.).

WVU’s Clear Bag Policy remains in effect, and the Athletics Department invites and encourages fans to visit WVUsports.com/clearbag for more information, to view pictures of permissible and non-permissible items and to obtain answers to frequently asked questions about the clear bag policy.

Fans are asked to reduce what they bring to the stadium to minimize contact points and bag searches. When security personnel check bags at the gate, they will not be divesting the bags – each fan will be responsible for showing the contents of his/her individual bag. This includes fans removing all items from their bag for inspection as needed. For quicker entry, do not bring bags inside the stadium.

For the Gold-Blue Spring Game, all fans, including WVU students, should enter the stadium through the North, West, Southeast and Southwest Gates.

There will be no stadium re-entry passes issued for the game. Stadium seating, restrooms and concessions will be open on the lower sections of the East, West and South sides and none in the upper deck.

Fans are reminded that umbrellas are not permitted inside the stadium.

There will be ADA seating available on the West and East sides based on demand.

Concession stands will open at 11 a.m. and will utilize cashless purchases. There will be multiple stands opened on the West Side (stand numbers 6, 7, 10, 11) and East (stand numbers 20, 23, 24), sides of the stadium, but there will not be concession areas open in the South end. Beer sales will conclude at the end of halftime.

All parking for cars is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The following hospital parking lots on the East side will open at 8 a.m. on Saturday and are available for public parking: F1, F2, F3, F4 and E. The following hospital parking lots on the West side also will open at 8 a.m. on Saturday and are available for public parking: A1 and B1. These areas will be blocked off before the event and Security will be in place to ensure individuals are parking in the correct areas.

The PRT is operating on its normal Saturday schedule (9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.), for the price of 50 cents each way. It is free for all students and WVU staff with a valid WVU ID.

The Gold-Blue Game, slated to begin at approximately 12:07 p.m., will conclude WVU’s spring football drills.

This year’s game will be a four-quarter Gold vs. Blue contest, along with specialty drills and competitions.

The veteran radio announcing crew of Tony Caridi (play-by-play), Dwight Wallace (analysis) and Jed Drenning (sideline) will bring the sights and sounds of the game to the listening audience on the Mountaineer Sports Networkpresented by Learfield.

The Gold-Blue Spring Football Game will be televised on the Big 12 Now on ESPN+ platform. Nick Farrell will handle the play-by-play duties, Rasheed Marshall will provide analysis and Anjelica Trinone will be an on-site reporter.
