3 unusual facts about Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium


Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium

When Mountaineer Field was dedicated on September 6, 1980, which also marked the first game for head coach Don Nehlen, fans were surprised when singer John Denver made an appearance and led the fans in the singing of his hit song "Take Me Home, Country Roads".

The seating area of the facility was renamed "Milan Puskar Stadium" in 2004 after a $20 million donation to the university by Morgantown resident and founder of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Milan Puskar.

The Stadium has also played host to regional Drum Corps International and Bands of America events, as well as many local high school band festivals.
