A planned partnership between West Virginia University and Mylan Park will provide a new home for “The Pride of West Virginia,” the Mountaineer Marching Band, starting in August 2024. The band has practiced in a parking lot at the WVU Coliseum for decades. The first phase of the facility, to be completed in time for 2024 band camp, will include a football-field-sized turf field and sound system. The groundbreaking for the Pride Practice Facility will be held in early 2024. Other community events will be held in the space when the Mountaineer Marching Band is not using it.
