West Virginia has something no other school in this set has: the PRT, a driverless Personal Rapid Transit system built in the 1970s that runs small automated cars between campuses on its own elevated track. Ride it to the Health Sciences station and you arrive beside the stadium having skipped the Morgantown gameday traffic entirely, which is the single most useful thing to know here because the valley roads around Milan Puskar do not cope well. On the parking side, the thing that has changed is what is on sale: the Purple Lot went away after the 2024 season, and for 2026 WVU is selling single game parking in the Gold Lot. The Green Lot allows tailgating and the Green Garage does not, which is the distinction that catches people out, since the two share a name and a price band but not a set of rules.
The short answer
For 2026 WVU is selling single game parking in the Gold Lot. WVU's published rates from its most recent full announcement were $40 a car in the Green Lot, $20 in the Gold Lot and the Green Garage, and $80 for RVs in the Black lot, so confirm at purchase because the lot list has changed since. Tailgating is allowed in the Green Lot and not in the Green Garage. Everything except the Green Lot is cashless. The move worth knowing: walk to the Walnut Street PRT station and ride to Health Sciences, which drops you by the stadium. We could not verify free parking anywhere near Milan Puskar Stadium.
At $20, 7 of the 35 College stadiums we have priced cost less and 22 cost more. See every College Sports stadium ranked.

Every option, in detail
Stadium lot
Gold Lot, this season's single game parking
$20 per game in WVU's most recent published rate cardA walk or a shuttle to the stadium /// Gameday
WVU states for 2026 that single game parking is available for fans to purchase in the Gold Lot, which makes it the route in for anyone without a season permit. Purchases go through the WVU Athletics ticketing system, and group discounts for parties of 20 or more are handled by the Mountaineer Ticket Sales and Service team on 1-304-293-8424 rather than online.
Heads up: Two caveats on the number. The $20 Gold Lot rate comes from WVU's last full single game parking announcement rather than from this season's, and the lot list has demonstrably changed since, because the Purple Lot that sat in the same price band is gone. Confirm the price at purchase. The Gold Lot is also cashless: from the 2023 season all single game lots except the Green are credit card only.
Via wvusports.com (WVU Athletics publishes for 2026 that single game parking is available for fans to purchase in the Gold Lot, and gives 1-304-293-8424 for group discounts of 20 or more. The $20 Gold Lot rate, the cashless rule for all single game lots except the Green, and the Purple Lot's discontinuation come from WVU Athletics' earlier single game parking announcements, and are reported as such rather than as this season's confirmed figures.)
Stadium lot
Green Lot, where tailgating is allowed
$40 per game in WVU's most recent published rate cardClose to the stadium /// Gameday
The Green Lot is the tailgating lot. WVU permits tailgating in the Green Lot and prohibits it in the Green Garage, and that is the distinction to get right, because the two share a colour and sit in the same conversation but not the same rulebook. The Green Lot is also the one exception to the cashless rule.
Heads up: Confirm availability as well as price. WVU's 2026 announcement names only the Gold Lot for single game sales, so the Green Lot may be a season permit product this year even though it carried a published single game rate previously. If the tailgate is the reason for the trip, settle that before you travel rather than at a gate.
Reported by fans, with no official page confirming it. That the Green Lot is priced at $40 per game for cars, that tailgating is permitted in the Green Lot but not in the Green Garage, and that all single game lots except the Green are cashless from the 2023 season, are published by WVU Athletics in its single game parking announcements. WVU's 2026 announcement names only the Gold Lot for single game sales, which is why availability is flagged as needing confirmation and no link is given for a current Green Lot single game rate.
Stadium lot
Green Garage, covered but no tailgating
$20 per game in WVU's most recent published rate cardBy the stadium /// Gameday
The Green Garage carries the same published rate as the Gold Lot and gives you a roof, which by late season in the West Virginia hills is worth something. It is a garage rather than a lot, which is exactly why the rules differ from the Green Lot next door.
Heads up: No tailgating is permitted in the Green Garage. If you are travelling with a grill and a group, this is the wrong $20 and the Green Lot is the right one. Cashless, like everything except the Green Lot.
Reported by fans, with no official page confirming it. That the Green Garage is priced at $20 per game, that tailgating is not permitted there while it is permitted in the Green Lot, and that it falls under the cashless rule, are published by WVU Athletics in its single game parking announcements. No current season link is given because WVU's 2026 announcement names only the Gold Lot for single game sales.
Stadium lot
Black Lot, RV parking at the Coliseum
$80 per game for RVs in WVU's most recent published rate cardAt the WVU Coliseum, away from the stadium /// Gameday
RV parking is the Black Lot at the Coliseum, published at $80 a game. Being at the Coliseum rather than at the stadium, it sits with the general Coliseum parking area that WVU uses for overflow, which is a walk or a ride from Milan Puskar rather than a short stroll.
Heads up: Confirm before towing anything to Morgantown, since the $80 figure predates this season and the single game lot list has changed. Weekend WVU bus and PRT service is limited compared with a weekday, so do not assume the campus transport network runs at full frequency around the Coliseum on a Saturday.
Reported by fans, with no official page confirming it. That single game RV parking is in the Black lot at the Coliseum at $80 per game is published by WVU Athletics in its single game parking announcements. That WVU buses and the PRT run limited weekend service is reported in WVU gameday coverage. Neither is confirmed for the current season, so both are reported rather than stated as current.

Skip parking entirely
The PRT is the reason West Virginia belongs in a different category from every other stadium here. It is not a shuttle bus dressed up: it is a driverless automated transit system on its own guideway, built for this campus, and on a gameday it bypasses the roads that make Morgantown difficult.
The PRT to Health Sciences
Reported at 50 centsWalk to the Walnut Street PRT station downtown and ride to the Health Sciences station, which puts you beside the stadium without touching the gameday road network. The PRT runs small automated cars between campuses on elevated track, which is why the traffic below it is irrelevant to the journey.
Reported by fans, with no official page confirming it. The PRT route from the Walnut Street station to the Health Sciences station beside the stadium, and the 50 cent fare, are reported in WVU gameday guidance for visitors. We could not confirm the fare on a WVU page we could read, so it is published here as reported rather than verified.
Weekend service is thinner than you expect
VariesWVU buses and the PRT run limited weekend service compared with term-time weekdays, so check the gameday timetable rather than assuming normal frequency. This matters most for the Coliseum end, where the RV and overflow parking sits.
Reported by fans, with no official page confirming it. That WVU buses and the PRT operate limited weekend service is reported in WVU gameday coverage rather than published on a WVU page we could read, so it is flagged as reported and worth confirming.
When to get there
WVU does not publish a standing lot opening time on the announcements we could read, and the single game lot list has changed for this season, so the reliable move is to confirm both when you buy rather than to plan from a remembered number. What does not change is the geography: Morgantown is a small city in a river valley and the roads to Milan Puskar funnel, which is the argument for the PRT rather than for arriving early. If you are driving and tailgating, the Green Lot is the lot that permits it, and being first into a tailgating lot matters more than being first into a garage.
Getting out after
The PRT advantage holds on the way out, since it runs on its own guideway above the traffic rather than through it. If you drove, note that everything except the Green Lot is cashless, so the exit is not held up by cash lanes, but the valley road network is the constraint it always was. RV parties at the Coliseum are furthest from the stadium and closest to the exit routes, which is the trade that lot makes.
Tailgating rules
The rule to get right is the Green Lot versus the Green Garage. Tailgating is permitted in the Green Lot and prohibited in the Green Garage, and the shared name is exactly why people arrive at the wrong one with a grill in the boot.
Beyond that distinction, WVU does not publish its tailgating conduct rules on the single game parking announcements we could read, so grills, alcohol and tent rules are worth settling with WVU Athletics before you pack rather than assumed from another Big 12 school. Two practical constraints shape the day. Everything except the Green Lot is cashless, so a tailgate group splitting costs at a gate needs a card. And RV parties are at the Black Lot by the Coliseum rather than beside the stadium, so an RV anchored tailgate here is a Coliseum event and not a stadium lot one. For anything current, the Mountaineer Ticket Sales and Service team is on 1-304-293-8424.

The PRT is the standout here and it exists nowhere else in this set: a driverless automated transit system on its own elevated guideway. Ride from Walnut Street to Health Sciences and you arrive beside the stadium having missed the road network entirely.
For 2026, WVU names only the Gold Lot for single game parking. The Purple Lot, which sat in the same price band, went away after the 2024 season.

Every single game lot except the Green is cashless and takes credit cards only, a change made from the 2023 season.
RV parking is the Black Lot at the WVU Coliseum rather than at the stadium, so an RV tailgate happens away from the ground.
