PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS...
This page is going to be a very
special page and I am doing it as a special request
for my good friends in Florida, who lived here for a
lot of years and were Penn State fans..This ones for
you, John and Betty.
The main campus of Penn State
University is located at University Park, which is
located in the middle of our State in a town called
State College.
This is also the home of the Penn
State Nittany Lions Football Stadium, Beaver Stadium.
The field is all natural turf and seats 95,000, but
will eventually seat over 103,500 people after the
expansion, which will be completed by the year 2001.
The stadium is the 2nd largest University stadium in
the Nation and was named after James E Beaver,
Pennsylvania's governor from
1887-1892.

The Nittany Lion has been Penn State's
mascot since 1907. The head coach of the Nittany
Lions is Joe Paterno. He is affectionately called
JoePa and at 71 years young is in his 49th year at
PSU and is in his 31st year as head coach. The Lions
have sixteen-ten win seasons under JoePa, who won 18
bowl games..the most by any coach
ever!!

Well the only other thing I would like
to mention, is that we have a Penn State..Wilkes
Barre Education Campus near us..It is located in
Lehman, Pa, which is only about 5 miles from my back
door..It has served Wyoming Valley since 1917. I hope
you have enjoyed this litle bit of information about
Penn State and the Penn State Nittany Lions..Go
Nittany Lions!!
Penn State Fact:
