MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Dec. 1, 2020) – The West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, in conjunction with University, local and state officials, has determined that December men’s and women’s home basketball games will take place without spectators in the WVU Coliseum.
“To say that we are disappointed is quite an understatement, but the decision not to allow spectators in December is the correct one at this time for the safety of our fans, staff and student-athletes,” Director of Athletics Shane Lyons said. “The COVID-19 pandemic keeps presenting many challenges, but like I have said in the past, we need to continue being aggressive in taking appropriate safety precautions of wearing masks and getting tested so that we can end this pandemic.
Previous season ticket holders and Mountaineer Athletic Club members who purchased tickets and/or parking for the December home games will be automatically refunded for the cost of the tickets and/or parking passes. Order fees are non-refundable. No further action will be required to receive the refund. The Mountaineer Ticket Office will process the refunds the week of Dec. 7.
As previously announced, basketball season ticket holders from last season will maintain ticket priority for next year, regardless of their purchase status in 2020-21.
All men’s and women’s home basketball games in December will either be televised on the ESPN family of networks or streamed through Big 12 Now on ESPN+.
