By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on October 15, 2013 via Connect-Bridgeport.com
The FOX College Saturday Tour will be in Morgantown at the WVU Coliseum Saturday morning prior to the Mountaineers' Big 12 matchup with Texas Tech. The FOX College Saturday Tour is a traveling pregame show that hits cities around the country offering a number of fun and interactive activities for college football fans.
The event kicks off at 8 a.m. in the WVU Coliseum parking lot outside the Blue Gate. Parking at the WVU Coliseum is free on football game days with shuttle service to Milan Puskar Stadium available for $4 per person round trip.
In addition to interactive activities, live segments will be filmed at 10:30 a.m. from the WVU Coliseum as part of the FOX College Saturday pregame show on Fox Sports 1.
The FOX College Saturday Tour is free for fans and open to the public, and the available activities include a skills challenge, virtual gaming center, and a fan lounge with a 16’ x 10’ wide screen television.
The FOX College Saturday Tour coupled with RV parking on Friday for the WVU vs. Texas Tech football game will severely limit Coliseum parking, especially on Friday. Students, faculty and staff, who park in the lots on a daily basis, are asked to make note of the reduced parking on Thursday and the very limited parking on Friday.
To offset the parking loss, all are reminded that short-term parking is available at Mountaineer Station on Van Voorhis Road, at a variety of short-term lots on the Evansdale campus and in downtown parking garages and lots operated by the Morgantown Parking Authority. All of these alternatives have easy access to the PRT and Mountain Line bus system, which is free to WVU students, faculty and staff.
Additional parking for Friday night’s women’s soccer match at 6:30 p.m. vs. Kansas and men’s basketball’s Gold-Blue Debut preseason scrimmage will be available after 5:30 p.m., in the Natatorium parking lots with the conclusion of the WVU marching band practice. Free parking for the Gold-Blue Debut will also be available at the Chick-fil-A restaurant on Patteson Drive.
