Fellow EMAWs,

I had the displeasure of attending our last game at Miller Puskar Stadium in 2016 with my wife and 2 young boys(age 6 and 9 at the time) and wanted to pass along some tips to anyone brave enough to make the trip this time.

Lodging – Can’t help you out here as we drove our Freedom Traveler RV up from our home base in Bird City. Trip was long but the mountains that still had their tops were gorgeous!

Tailgating – We parked at the RV lot by the stadium on Friday night and were advised by multiple WV fans to avoid tailgating outside of the stadium due to the rowdiness of the students/locals. Apparently they have had 2 stabbings the week before and 1 person died in the parking lot before the Marshall game the previous year. With 2 small future EMAW's in tow we decided to take their advice. Some WV fans did recommend we visit the Buffalo Wild Wings down the street instead of tailgating, we had never been before and I would have to say the food was subpar. My youngest Timothy got the cheeseburger and it came out cold. How do you mess up a cheeseburger?

Stadium – Miller Puskar Stadium reminds me a lot of Jack Trice except more concrete, the contractor must of got a heck of a deal on concrete as every possible surface was coated in it. After we found our seats I took the kids to the restroom and was stunned to see that none of the bathroom stalls have doors (Apparently they have had issues with people shooting up smack and overdosing during games). Of course Timmy had to go #2 so I was forced to stand where the door was supposed to be to block the view. The sight lines were alright but the whole stadium just gave me the eeeby jeebys, its like the blueprints were left over from an Warsaw Pact country. Everything was cold/gray/depressing.

 I will never be making the trip again but if you are heading that way this weekend make sure to stay safe!



 LOL Nobody died in the parking lot before a Marshall game, nice try. Second, nobody shoots up anything in the stadium restrooms. We leveled those and did a complete reconstruction of our restrooms and concessions 2 years ago. I think you'll find it much more suitable. As far as the stadium goes, it is what it is. Since then we have added alot to it with adding a lot of color in the forms of banners, new paint, new turf, and a new video board on the hospital end zone side of the stadium. The next project is to remove all of the bleachered seating and install chairbacks.  For the one guy on here that trolls about having a miserable trip, I'll find you plenty of other Big 12, SEC, and ACC fans that have visited our stadium and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Your stadium is ugly, your team sucks, and your coach is old as dirt. Now go tell all your friends what some random WVU fan just said about you.

For those of you honest Kansas State fans, I hope you have a safe trip and enjoy your time visiting our area.

 Rooting for you to knock TCU back in to reality this weekend. It took two trick plays and two bad calls from officials for them to beat us in Ft. Worth. You’ve got this!
