With wins over SMU and Boise State, Penn State has made it to the semifinal of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. In their Orange Bowl CFP semifinal matchup, the Nittany Lions will rekindle an old rivalry with Notre Dame as both fanbases travel south to Miami, Florida for the Thursday night matchup at Hard Rock Stadium.
One game closer to Penn State’s first national championship since 1985, tickets to the Orange Bowl appear to be a bit more expensive than for Penn State’s Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal matchup with Boise State in Glendale Arizona on New Year’s Eve.
