WVU Medicine

Parking on the campus of WVU Medicine J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital will be restricted for the WVU football game Saturday. 

No tailgating will be permitted. Milan Puskar Stadium will operate at 25% capacity as part of the health, safety and wellness measures being implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The WVU Athletics Department, in conjunction with the university’s team of medical professionals and appropriate parties, will not only cap attendance at roughly 15,000 fans for each game this season, but will also take additional steps to increase fan safety.

The following parking guidelines have been issued by WVU Medicine’s Security Department:

  • The vehicles of all patients and visitors who are staying at the hospital past  at midnight today will need to move their vehicles into the parking garage  outside the Emergency Department.
  • All patients and visitors are required to pick up  game day passes at the Emergency Department checkpoint leading to the garage when  arriving to park starting Saturday morning. 
  • Patients being discharged are to use the ED canopy for pick-up.
  • Patients and visitors who need access to the hospital will need to use the back entrance of Ruby; signage will be displayed for way finding.
  • Patient pick-up and drop-off during the game will occur through the Emergency Department starting  at midnight today and running through noon Sunday.

Those with questions about game day parking can contact the Security Department at 304-598-4444.
