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.

Penn State Fact: The first football game broadcast on radio was played at Franklin Field in 1922, and the first televised football game took place there in 1939.
