MORGANTOWN – After a one-year hiatus due to COVID-19, West Virginia University will hold its annual Gold-Blue Spring Football Game, presented by Encova, on Saturday, April 24, at 1 p.m., at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. A portion of the proceeds will once again benefit WVU Medicine Children’s.

The stadium will operate at approximately 25% capacity as part of the health, safety and wellness measures being implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All fans should self-evaluate their health prior to arriving to the stadium. Fans who might be sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should stay home and contact a physician.

Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis for $10 each online at WVUGAME.com or by calling 1-800-WVU GAME. All tickets will be delivered via mobile ticketing. Tickets will primarily be available in blocks of two and four seats. All seating will be reserved and physically distanced. Fans will be able to select seats using the “Pick Your Own Seat” function when purchasing online.

Mountaineer Kids Club members are able to obtain free admission to attend the WVU Gold-Blue Game. To reserve and purchase parent/family member tickets, call the Mountaineer Ticket Office at 1-800-WVU-GAME. Of note, these tickets cannot be reserved online. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing, assigned seats will be provided for all free and purchased tickets. Adult tickets must be purchased at the same time as reserving free MKC tickets to ensure the seats are together.

Fans must wear face coverings over their mouths and noses in order to enter the stadium. Face coverings should always be worn while fans are inside the stadium with the temporary exception of when eating and drinking. Face shields should only be worn in combination with a face mask. Fans should provide their own face coverings.

Fans are asked to practice social distancing at all times in the ticket lines, at the gates, in line at concessions or restrooms and while in the seating areas.

The Gold-Blue Game, slated to be televised on Big 12 Now on ESPN+, will conclude WVU’s spring football drills.
