University Mascot

The wearing of the traditional buckskin uniform began in 1937 although the first sightings go back to 1927.
The school mascot is a student body member and is chosen for his ability to display outstanding enthusiasm, character, high academics and community service.

Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium opened in 1980 and has a seating capacity of 60,000. Originally known as Mountaineer Field, the stands were renamed in 2004 after Morgantown resident Milan Puskar donated $20 million to the school.
