Hope Coliseum seating chart — Morgantown, West Virginia

Discover the Iconic Hope Coliseum

The Hope Coliseum is more than an arena — it’s an iconic landmark that brings West Virginia University and the wider Morgantown community together for unforgettable moments. Set along Monongahela Blvd on the Evansdale campus, this domed, circular venue is easy to spot and even easier to love. If you’re planning your visit, exploring the Hope Coliseum seating chart is the smartest way to lock in the perfect view for your game or concert.

Opened in 1970 and renamed Hope Coliseum in 2025, the arena seats 14,000 and features a striking roofline that defines the Morgantown skyline. Renovations over the years have upgraded seating, accessibility, and fan amenities, and a modernized scoreboard and sound system amplify the atmosphere for every event.

Home to West Virginia Mountaineers men’s and women’s basketball, the venue also hosts major concerts, commencements, conferences, and special events. Over the decades, legends like Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Carrie Underwood, Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews Band, Metallica, Garth Brooks, and KISS have taken the stage here. The Coliseum has also welcomed NCAA basketball tournament games and cornerstone WVU ceremonies.

Fans appreciate the arena’s flexible design — from courtside seats to VIP suites, club seating, and accessible areas across levels — as well as concert configurations that often include a general admission or reserved floor. Thoughtful updates ensure better sightlines and comfort without losing the venue’s classic character.

Whether you’re catching a Mountaineers rivalry game or a marquee tour, you’ll get an electric game-day experience with clear views, energized acoustics, and smooth crowd flow across the circular concourses. With strong transit options, ample parking, and an easy-to-read seating map, planning your visit is a breeze.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Hope Coliseum

3450 Monongahela Blvd

Morgantown, WV 26505

The arena sits on WVU’s Evansdale campus in Morgantown, approximately 75 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA, making it a convenient trip for regional fans.

• Parking: On-site lots are available, with typical event rates ranging from $10–$20. Additional parking is offered at adjacent WVU lots, with shuttle service during major events.
• Public Transit: WVU’s PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) system has a nearby station, and Mountain Line Transit Authority buses serve the area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance, with venue signage directing you to the correct locations.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before tipoff or showtime. This window gives you time to park, pass through security, and find your section without rushing — especially for high-attendance games or major tours. If you’re using the WVU shuttles from remote lots or the PRT, early arrival helps you avoid queues.

The venue is an indoor, climate-controlled arena, so weather won’t affect the event itself. Still, give yourself a few extra minutes for the walk from your parking spot, especially if you’re coming with kids or carrying merchandise. Accessible routes are available if anyone in your group needs step-free access.

Using rideshare? Follow the signs to the designated dropoff area near the main entrance and confirm your pickup spot after the event. Transit riders should check Mountain Line and PRT schedules to time their return, particularly on late nights when post-event crowds can increase wait times.

Venue Navigation

Hope Coliseum’s circular design makes it straightforward to navigate: the lower bowl (Sections 101–122) and upper bowl (Sections 201–222) encircle the event floor, with clear wayfinding on concourses. Elevators and ramps connect all levels, and accessible seating is available throughout the arena.

You’ll find multiple concession stands, merchandise kiosks, and restrooms placed across the concourses to keep lines moving. Don’t miss the WVU Athletics Hall of Traditions located within the arena — it’s a great pre-game or halftime stop. ATMs, family restrooms, and charging stations are also available, making it easy to stay comfortable and connected. Expect some stairs and walking between parking and your section, so comfortable footwear is a smart call.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bags only (maximum size 12"x6"x12"); small clutches/purses allowed (max 4.5"x6.5").
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food/drink, large bags, professional cameras, umbrellas, noisemakers, laser pointers.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry permitted once ticket is scanned.
• Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities; must remain on leash/harness.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Plan a quick stop at the WVU Athletics Hall of Traditions inside the arena for a deeper connection to Mountaineer history.
• The Coliseum’s exterior is especially striking at sunset — step outside early for a photo before you head to your seats.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by tailoring your seats to your plans — the Hope Coliseum seating chart helps you compare vantage points across the lower and upper bowls, courtside, and floor. For family outings, consider upper-bowl center sections for value and visibility; for milestone nights, upgrade to club seating or VIP suites for added comfort.

If you’re meeting friends, choose an easy rendezvous spot like the main entrance or a specific merchandise stand on the concourse. Before the event starts, check out the upper concourse windows for panoramic views of campus and Morgantown. If you’re in early, a quick look around the WVU Athletics Hall of Traditions adds a memorable touch to game day or concert night.

Transit riders should review Mountain Line and PRT schedules ahead of time, while drivers can target on-site lots or adjacent WVU parking with event shuttles. Leaving a little cushion in your schedule keeps the focus on the fun — not the logistics.

Accessibility

Hope Coliseum is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking near the main entrance, accessible seating on all levels (with companion seating), and elevators and ramps connecting every tier. Mobility shuttles operate from remote parking lots during major events to simplify the trip to the arena.

Assistive listening devices are available at guest services, and service animals assisting guests with disabilities are welcome. For help choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

You’ll find multiple concession stands throughout the concourses serving classic arena fare — pizza, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and soft drinks. Local touches elevate the menu, including regional specialties like pepperoni rolls and WV barbecue, plus local craft beer options to pair with your meal.

Merchandise stands are conveniently located near many food areas, so you can grab gear and a snack in one stop before heading back to your section.
