Beaver Stadium

Pros: Greatest College Football Stadium on Earth
Cons: seating a tad cramped.

Before my freshman year, I received the application for students to get season tickets to the Penn State home games. It took me all of about 15 seconds to open the application, fill it out, write the check ($36 a season!!) and send it in. Within weeks,...

Pros: Tailgating second-to-none; Incredible atmosphere; Fun for all ages
Cons: Ticket availability; Bathroom facilities

As a Penn State alumnus, I may be jaded and biased but how could anyone, short of a Cornhusker or a Seminole, fail to become enamored of Beaver Stadium and Happy Valley? Penn State's current football season notwithstanding, game day at Beaver Stadium is...

Pros: Awesome crowd of over 90,000
Cons: obnoxious lion roar

I went to three WV Mountaineer/Penn State games in the 80's, the place is almost intimidating to the opposition before you even get there...The stadium is in the middle of nowhere, amongst the Nittany Mountains, which are awe inspiring in...

Pros: fun, fun, fun, and football
Cons: large crowds

Beaver Stadium is like the Mecca of University Park, PA. Joe Paterno is God and football weekends are homages.

Every football weekend in the fall brings 70,000 plus alumni, football fans, and others to State College, PA. Every hotel ups its...

Pros: great football tradition, field in beautiful shape, loyal fans
Cons: fans are too complacent

Want to find me on a Saturday in autumn? Take a look at Penn State's football schedule, because if the Nits are playing at home, I'll be in Beaver Stadium.

I will admit that I've never seen a college football game anywhere else but Beaver...

Pros: Within Walking Distance from Campus and Town
Cons: If you don't get tickets in the summer, be ready to pay a LOT

Beaver Stadium is the MOST amazing place to watch a college football game. From the second you set foot inside until the second you leave at the end, you will feel all the energy, excitement, and enthusiasm of the students. Beaver Stadium has undergone...

Pros: The College Football Experience
Cons: Uncomfortable Seats

I had season tickets for Penn State football as a student, from '83-'87.

I moved to the mid-west, and attended a Penn State game as often as possible out there at Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue and a bowl game here and there.
...

Pros: Great People, Great Place, Great Team
Cons: Parking(?!), Finding A Place To Stay.

We Are... Penn State! This phrase has echoed throughout Beaver Stadium on games days at a deafening pitch for many, many years. The students usually start with WE ARE and the Alumni respond resoundingly with PENN STATE. This phrase echoes the brotherhood...

Pros: Great scenery, atmosphere; very accessible; legendary stadium!
Cons: Weather for Nov. games may be rough

I attended Penn State University for four years, and I must say (with the exception of meeting my future wife), that some of my most memorable and exciting moments happened at Beaver Stadium watching Penn State football games. There is just something so...

Pros: Will fit over 100,000 at the start of the 2001 season.
Cons: Food selection is very poor.

I go to Penn State and this stadium is one of the finest. As of the 2001 season we will be able to share in the joy of Penn State football with a 100,000 of our closest friends. It is bigger than most NFL stadiums and will be in the top five largest as...

Pros: Setting, classy fans, great atmosphere
Cons: Lack of hotel rooms in State College, Fans aren't loud enough!!!

OK, so I am totally biased when it comes to anything dealing with Penn State, especially football, but here is my 2 cents on the issue. First, the tailgating is about as good as you will find anywhere. I have been to games at Ohio State and at the U....

Pros: Second biggest college football stadium in the country
Cons: aluminum benches that are very tight

I've been attending Penn State home games since I was a student in 1995. Over the years, they've added on an upper level above the south end zone. Many critics were upset over this addition, because it got rid of the great views of Mount Nittany. ...

Pros: Field is beautiful, tailgating
Cons: Outside of stadium is ugly

One of the largest stadiums in the country. After the extensive renovations it holds approx. 107,000 fans. The tailgating atmosphere is great around the stadium. What I don't like are the exposed beams that you can see from the outside of the stadium. It...

Pros: A memorable experience for any spectator. A stadium overflowing with pride.
Cons: Be prepared for the noise level. Expensive!

Penn State football season has become a living tradition that the whole country is aware of. State College prides themselves as the home of Penn State University, the home of one of the greatest football programs in the country. Yes, many are ...

Pros: The university, the people, the football, the atmosphere, the bars, you name it.
Cons: The weekend had to end

I had the opportunity to attend the Penn State Wisconsin game on Nov 5 2005, my first 'big' college football game with several friends who are alumni, what can I say, simply awesome. If you have the chance to watch a game here, make it a priority to get ...
