Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

The arena has a large adjacent lot system, but event type determines which parts are public, permitted or paid.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

The 2026-27 chart introduces new premium seating, so use the current Hope Coliseum map rather than a legacy WVU Coliseum diagram.

03

Positive

Event-day character
