When WVU basketball fans fill the Coliseum, it becomes an arena filled with electricity, enthusiasm and excitement. The Mountaineer support from the state of West Virginia creates a great home court advantage and a very unwelcome place for opponents to come play. The Coliseum contains all the modern conveniences that make it one of the best in the nation. In 2018, Director of Athletics Shane Lyons announced that the Coliseum would continue undergoing renovations, including the addition of a highdefinition videoboard. In October 2020, the new state-of-the-art video board, ribbon boards and scorers’ table was added to the Coliseum. A new state-of-the-art academic center was added in 2007. WVU is 241-73 when playing inside the Coliseum since 2001-02, including a flawless home record in 2010.
