Beaver Stadium, Football stadium in College Township, US.
Beaver Stadium is a football venue in College Township, Pennsylvania, with seating for over 106,000 spectators across multiple levels of concrete and steel. Stands surround a natural grass playing surface and offer wide views of the entire field from all seats.
The stadium opened in 1960 and bears the name of James A. Beaver, a former Pennsylvania governor and university trustee. Six major expansions brought the facility to its current size and made it one of the largest college venues in North America.
Home of the Penn State Nittany Lions with students sitting in the S-Zone section wearing coordinated outfits to show support during games. Fans sing together and follow traditions that turn each match into a community experience.
Multiple parking areas lie around the facility and elevators along with escalators lead to the different levels of stands. Wide walkways help visitors move during large events and reach exits.
A 700 million dollar renovation starts soon and will add new suites, club seating, and a welcome center of about 21,000 square feet (1,950 square meters) by 2027. The work will be carried out while the venue continues to host games.
