Gene Van, of Bleach Air Seats, bolts the first seat at the new ballpark.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — One down, 2,500 to go.
Crews have installed the first permanent seats in the area’s newest ballpark, which is under construction near University Town Centre.
The stadium will be home to WVU baseball and the minor-league West Virginia Black Bears. This will be the Black Bears inaugural season.
Inclement weather has already impacted construction, causing delays. The facility was set to open later this month, but opening day has been pushed back to April 10. The Black Bears will have their home opener June 19.
