| sllesq's Full Review: Beaver Stadium |
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 a few expansions since I entered my Freshman year in 1989, but to me it still has that small feel. OK, so it holds 100,000 people, but there is not a bad seat in the place. And I have sat all over, from the student section to the new sections to the parent/alumni section. One word to prospective students--as SOON as you get your order form for a season pass in the summer, mail it. Send it the SAME day you get it. You do NOT want to be shut out of games. My Freshman year I didn't know this, and I had to scrounge for tickets the first few weeks until I found someone who sold me their season pass after about 3 games.
When we first saw Beaver Stadium from the outside, my father and I thought it looked like something a kid would build out of toothpicks. You can literally see all the support beams and poles that hold it up...but once you're inside it looks just like any other college stadium.
One of the most amazing things that takes place numerous times during the game is the "WE ARE...." "....PENN STATE" cheer--and for those of you who have never experienced this, you truly are missing out on the best things in college football. That anyone could come away from this without feeling a huge sense of pride and loyalty is inconceivable. And the fight songs and other cheers all add up to make Beaver Stadium the rocking place it is on football Saturdays in Happy Valley.
Oh yeah, and don't forget your marshmallows....but don't get caught throwing them...hehehe.
