Hail West Virginia

Join the WVU Alumni Association for the premier pregame experience at the Erickson Alumni Center and enjoy these VIP perks when you reserve your Hail WV membership today: 

  • Personal Parking Spot 
    • Your pregame experience should be spent celebrating, not stuck in traffic looking for a parking spot; this is why Hail members get an assigned parking spot for each home game at The Erickson Alumni Center.
  • Bring a Plus-One 
    • What fun is a pre-game without sharing it with others? A Hail WV membership includes two passes to each pre-game reception before every home game. 
  • Perfect Weather Every Week 
    • Because Hail West Virginia is held inside The Erickson Alumni Center, every game day is perfect for tailgating in the Kennedy Club Room. 
  • Just A Few Steps from the Stadium 
    • We're located just 600 yards from Milan Puskar Stadium and we’ll even provide a ride to the stadium lot before kickoff. 
  • Exquisite Tailgate Cuisine 
    • Enjoy specially-designed Hail WV menus each week with food prepared by The Erickson's executive chef and his staff. 
  • All You Can Drink 
    • You read that right. Enjoy beer, wine and our unique signature drink special that changes for each home game at our bar located in the Kennedy Club Room. 
  • Write it Off 
    • $1,250 of your $2,000 Hail WV Membership is tax-deductible and members will receive a receipt from the WVU Foundation to ensure efficiency when writing off the expense. 
  • An Exclusive Gift 
    • Every year, we thank our Hail WV members by surprising them with an exclusive gift, available only to those who belong to the Hail WV Society. 
  • You Belong 
    • When you join the Hail WV Society, you’ll also receive a Life Membership to the WVU Alumni Association. 
  • Supporting Your Alma Mater 
    • The WVU Alumni Association is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Your Hail WV membership directly supports alumni initiatives for Mountaineers all over the world. 


What are you waiting for? Join the Hail West Virginia Society today! We can't for you to make lasting memories here at the Erickson Alumni Center this football season. Let's go.
