Reactions pour in after Penn State Football’s capacity announcement

Penn State University and its football program dropped some major news on Tuesday afternoon when they announced that Beaver Stadium will operate at full capacity for the 2021 Penn State Football season.

After fans were barred from the stadium during the 2020 season due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many cannot wait to see 107,000 people back in Beaver Stadium.

Among the people happy to see the return of fans, were multiple Penn State players and recruits.

Speaking of commits, 2022 4-star wide receiver commit Kaden Saunders shared his thoughts on the announcement with Victory Bells Rings.

“It made my day ten-times better seeing the news,” Saunders tells FanSided. “I can’t wait to get back up for a game.”

Defensive end Arnold Ebiketie, a transfer from Temple, will get to experience a max crowd at Beaver Stadium when he plays his first home game as a Nittany Lion against Ball State.

Kicker/punter Jordan Stout seemed to sum up everyone’s thoughts on the big news with his tweet.

Safety Jaquan Brisker seems to understand the advantage Penn State’s crowd gives his defensive unit.

Former Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson would probably agree that is in fact scary. Who could forget when he had to call a timeout before the first play of the game back in 2019 because of how loud the stadium was.

Former running back Journey Brown took to Instagram and said:

"My young bulls finally get to see why they came here!!!"

Brown brings up a great point, Penn State’s crowds and atmosphere are big selling points with recruits for James Franklin and his staff.

The slogan “107k strong” has been a mainstay during Franklin’s tenure. The slogan is included in his tweet to signal a new commitment.

Most Penn State fans would agree with that statement.

Saunders and the rest of Penn State’s 2022 commits will continue to peer recruit, but the return of the White Out will make that job easier.
