Penn State football vs. Maryland: Terps announce it’s a sell out for Friday

Friday night will be a packed house at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium for Penn State football’s matchup against the Terps.

We’re now just a couple of days away from seeing Penn State football return to the gridiron. After playing for three consecutive weeks, the Nittany Lions caught themselves an early break for the bye week and had some extra time off while preparing for this week’s matchup.

Under the Friday night lights, Penn State will take on Maryland Football at their stadium, Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium. This marks the first road game for the Nittany Lions as they hosted Idaho, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh at home for their first few matchups.

For quite some time now, Maryland has been anticipating the Week 5 battle against their Big Ten rivals. In order to help contribute to their attendance, Maryland announced that they would be canceling later classes on Friday in hopes making sure that all Terps fans come and represent for their ‘blackout.’ Well, it sounds like the outcome has been promising for them so far.

Maryland makes an announcement

As of Wednesday morning, Maryland football’s official Twitter account made the announcement stating that Friday night’s game is officially a sell-out. So 54,000 fans are expected to be in attendance for the Big Ten’s big matchup this week.

Although Maryland is trying to win with the crowd, Penn State still remains a favorite in this one. As the Terps took a loss to Temple last week, the Nittany Lions are coming into College Park with an undefeated record and tons of momentum.

While they won’t take their rival opponent easy, the Nittany Lions are undoubtedly looking to make a statement with their first battle within the Big Ten for the year. After all, they are one of the conference’s best. Now, they have to prove it with a big win under the lights. It’s time for Sean Clifford and company to make a statement on the road.
