wvu athletic fieldwas built?  In the early seasons of West Virginia University football, the Mountaineers played their home games in a number of locations in and around Morgantown. From about 1895 up to the 1924 opening of 'Old' Mountaineer Field, the old gold and blue played on the 'athletic field' pictured here. Look familiar? With Woodburn Hall in the middle of the photo and Oglebay Hall at the far right, the football field was located where the Mountainlair and Plaza/parking garage now stand. In it's later years, the athletic field seated upwards of 12,000 fans, and a reported crowd of 15,000 Mountaineer faithful were packed in for the 1922 game against Washington & Jefferson.
