How about getting rid of that random 30 yard space between the south endzone seats and the field goal post first...

Classes on two different campuses would be a pain. PRT broke down we had to wait for a shuttle bus. Downtown campus wasnt much, over at the stadium area the area was nice with Ruby Hospital the Engineering School etc. Saturday tailgating was good, good fans . As far as beer and food you could eat and drink all day long courtesy of their fans.

Is that part of the renovation/expansion? Is there a reason why it is currently setup like that?

i guess just part of the original design in the 30 years ago, they actually reduced seating my 2nd year for boxes, i wish they just had a big hill for the student section like back in the day.

That's awesome! why can't we have one of those


You need a time machine back to the eighties, my friend. Beer in the Union, beer in the dorm fridges, kegs on tap in the frat houses. Blame the nanny state for raising the drinking age to 21.

Ah yes, back in the day. My fraternity had a vending machine on the 2nd floor filled with beer, ....and a tapped keg cooler in one room with a stolen sign on the door "Student Bar Association"

I don't want to be an ungrateful guest but I expected Morgantown to be a lot nicer than it was. Bigger too. It is literally nothing except the college. The natural scenery in the area was great though, and Pittsburgh impressed me way more than I thought it would.

Campus was pretty nice; I just didn't know I had another campus to "Tiger Bait" the students. As it was my two buddies were tired of running from the cops.

I agree. I suppose the city is forever associated with images of factories spewing out soot, steel mills, piles of junk, and what you would think a former industrial old school city would look like.

However, the place is green, hilly, and very nice to see. The three rivers and the downtown will the surrounding terrain is beautiful.

Troof. Could get beer in the Union and in the basement of Hatcher and I think one other place on the other side of campus. It was crappy beer but that's all there was back then and college students don't care anyway.

monorail, monorail, monorail

mono = 1
rail = rail

So Morgantown was that other city that fell for the scam. Or was it Shelbyville?

Ogdenville & North Haverbrook

The monorail building has a sign on the side with a picture of Robert Byrd and a sign saying "Thank you to Sen. Byrd." They don't even pretend it's anything but pork.
