WVU Coliseum
West Virginia plays its home matches inside the 14,000-seat WVU Coliseum. Director of Athletics and Associate Vice President Shane Lyons, in conjunction with the Mountaineer Athletic Club, continues to make significant progress in the Climbing Higher Campaign with the announcement of a major leadership gift to replace the 50-year-old Coliseum seats in the summer of 2020. Along with the seats, capital funds were provided to replace the video and ribbon boards in the arena that same year.
The Coliseum floor also received a new look in the summer of 2019, in addition to more than $20 million in upgrades in 2016, becoming one of the nation’s supreme showcases for college volleyball. Whether it is during the day, when the sun shines down on the massive structure, or at night, when its golden lights make it an evening showcase, the Coliseum stands as one of the most striking facilities on the WVU campus.
