So sad but true, the infrastructure here is going to be one of the biggest problems for this town going forward. Im happy to see water and sewer are doing something about looking toward the future but don't see it much elsewhere in the city.
If the PRT were to expand to Waterfront Place, per the study that was done some years ago, and the planned upgrades would include new cars that looked a bit less "pedestrian" and more like an updated, city transit system, like a subway car, I can imagine first class hotel guests being comfortably whisked from a stop directly in Waterfront Place to the game.

An expansion out to Suncrest/West Run is more likely to happen first than an expansion to the Waterfront. That station would be deader than Walnut currently is. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the PRT is replacing the cars starting next year
Couple conversations I heard was that Marriott won the bid as they will be taking over Erickson Alumni dining. Im sure we'll hear a lot more in the coming weeks.

That would be interesting if Mariott did win it, I wonder if they would brand it as a JW Mariott since that seems to be their nicer hotels and I'm sure WVU wants the hotel to be nice. It would also be interesting that Mariott would be in control of two very large convention/meeting areas in this town.

I don't think Morgantown really fits in that group...
Also, the hotel RFP has never been re-released, and given WVU's procurement requirements as a state agency, it seems unlikely that anyone would have been awarded the project without going through the song and dance of the standard procurement process. I could certainly be wrong, but that just seems odd.

Yeah definitely not in that list. I thought they were a little more common, I wonder what mariott brand it would fall under though if this is true. And I thought they did re-release it a while back, just the exact same one.
It's an interesting question, since Morgantown already has a Marriott, Fairfield (UTC), Courtyard (UTC), Springhill Suites (Sabraton) and Residence Inn (Ruby). That pretty well covers their low-to-mid level flags.
I could be mistaken on the proposal, but I didn't think they'd formally done it yet. I never saw it on the WVU site that lists open RFPs.
