The facility is named for Milan Puskar, a Morgantown resident and founder of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. who donated $20 million to the university in 2004.

[8] Old Mountaineer Field had also hosted an exhibition game in 1968 between the Steelers and the expansion Cincinnati Bengals of the American Football League.

The turf was ready in time for the 2007 season, even after the end zone sections had to be replaced because they were the incorrect shade of blue (too light).

Thanks in part to the university's media agreement with IMG, prior to the 2014 season, four new LED boards were installed in each corner of the stadium at field level as well as updated auxiliary scoreboards in both the North and South end zones.

To round out the most recent set of updates, graphic banners now adorn the stadium's old grey walls both at field level and along the upper deck.

[11] In late spring 2015, work began on approximately $55 million in renovations to Milan Puskar Stadium and Mountaineer Field.

The FieldTurf Revolution surface was completed for the 2016 season and featured a larger "Flying WV" logo at midfield.

Work on the east side gates and concourses, including renovations to concessions, restrooms, new elevators/ADA accessibility, upgraded box seats, graphics, charging stations, and new audio/video systems were completed in 2016, while a new "Legends Park" honoring past Mountaineer greats in an expanded greenspace on the north end of the stadium was also added.

A new route for the pregame "Mountaineer Mantrip" tradition was incorporated into the northeast gate, which included a large block of coal in remembrance of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster that was placed on a decorative pedestal for players, coaches, and fans to touch on their way into the stadium.

A mirror image of the east concourse will be done on the west side of the stadium in time for the first home game of the 2017 season.

It provides an additional viewing experience for fans to complement the previous board in the south end of the complex, while upping the viewable square footage by almost 86% in comparison.
