WVU announced this week that Med Fields has been named the new location for the future Pride Practice Field and Facility for the Mountaineer Marching Band. The University Planning Committee has greenlit use of the site, and the original architect for the project has been reinstated. Finalization of the new design and cost estimates will be complete within six months, according to university officials, paving the way for construction procurement and subsequent site work, with the aim of making the turf field operational by August 2025.
