My one and only trip was in 1989 so I don't remember much.

Get a smoked turkey leg at the game. Very tasty.

Go over to the drill field and look at some of the military statues, which are very cool.

Downtown is a lot of fun in the morning before the games.

Tailgating is spread out all around the town and stadium. You will be more than welcome to stop by and get a free beverage and food from 95% of the people there. The other 5% are from NJ and just suck so stay clear of them.

You will see most of the students going to a place called Center Street. You will also see them carrying clear milk jugs with them. It's a combination of vodka, water, and whatever else they could get their hands on.

Adding on to what you wrote: I'm sure it's sold out by now, but the Lion's Club lot is a really good place to park. It's expensive ($80 last I checked), but it's basically next door to the stadium. I lived in the old Stadium Apartments back in the day and last time I parked there (WVU 2022), I parked on the literal footprint of where my old apartment was. There's also a group there that cooks up TONS of Jello-Shots and both times I've parked there I've been close enough to get grabbed for free jello shots from this group.

TOTs (Top of the Stairs) is always a fun time. Get a rail. Two would be pushing it. Three and you won't remember the afternoon. It's right off campus. It is typically really busy though.
