Penn State Football can make Beaver Stadium history vs. Ball State

STATE COLLEGE, PA - DECEMBER 12: A general view of the stadium after the game between the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Michigan State Spartans at Beaver Stadium on December 12, 2020 in State College, Pennsylvania. Normally, the area in front of the stadium would be crowded with fans and tailgating. Fans were not permitted to attend the game due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Penn State Football’s first Home Game With Fans

This will be the first game back with fans at Beaver Stadium, so expect it to be a giant celebration of a return to normalcy.

After missing out on the tailgating experience last year, I expect the parking lots to fill up early, and for their to be an exciting and celebratory buzz in the air.

The energy inside the stadium is sure to be electric, not only for the game, but just from the excitement from fans to finally be back inside the stadium. Just like the tailgate lots, the stadium might fill up quicker than usual as well, as fans are eager to be in the stadium for the first time since November of 2019.

Coach James Franklin tweeted this video, welcoming fans back to Beaver Stadium:

Expect the “WE ARE” chants to be louder, and the alma mater to be prouder, as Beaver Stadium will once again be filled with Penn State faithful.
