Most affordable and fun trip is probably flying in to Philly or Baltimore, staying in Harrisburg and making Happy Valley a day trip. Nowhere available to stay around the campus. Could also try finding a connecting flight straight in to Harrisburg.

Option 2 would be flying to Pittsburgh or Buffalo but there is really nowhere fun to stay between either of those areas and Happy Valley.

Tough spot to get to and even harder when all the hotels get booked up 10 months in advance.

My hope is that we put a huge smackdown on the nits and make a definitive statement.

Feeling very thankful to have recently booked an AirBNB 10 minutes from campus. Ready for my first trip to Happy Valley! SUM-RTB-GG!

PS: When do away game tickets normally go on sale through the U? This was asked elsewhere but not answered. Just wondering when to start looking.

July. I hope they don't restrict sales to people with high gopher scores. Any Gopher score above 0 would be good just to have some barrier of entry to PSU fans.

If it's like past years, there will be a deadline for fans to order tickets. Tickets for all orders submitted by the deadline are then allocated by Gopher Score. Not sure how many tickets they expect to sell for this trip, but the visitor allocation is generally reported at 3,000. If the U doesn't sell out it's allocation, they get returned to Penn State.

Does anyone know which section(s) the gopher ticket allocation is at PSU? Debating if I should buy through the U or try the secondary market

You can safely assume we'll be wayyyy up there. Almost always is for the road allocation.

I still prefer sitting with other Gopher fans though as opposed to better seats and being surrounded by away fans.

‘Who’s Getting Fired?’: Most Penn Staters Disappointed Over Minnesota White Out Announcement​

After months of speculation, Penn State officially announced its opponent for the 2022 White Out. The Nittany Lions’ October 22 matchup against Minnesota will take place in college football’s best atmosphere.

When it was announced that FOX picked up the television rights for the Penn State-Ohio State game, the game was widely predicted to kick off at noon, supporting the network’s “Big Noon Kickoff” programming. As a result, debate swirled about the most important factor in picking the White Out — even resulting in a Twitter poll from Penn State football.

Those in favor of Ohio State argued for using the White Out as a tool against Penn State’s toughest opponent. Those in favor of Minnesota often argued for the traditional prime-time kickoff to best highlight the tone.

When the White Out news broke, each faction showed up in droves. Some were excited to see the White Out retain its prime-time slot.

'Who's Getting Fired?': Most Penn Staters Disappointed Over Minnesota White Out Announcement

While some don't mind the decision, most Penn Staters are underwhelmed with a Minnesota White Out.

Yes, almost always. I do recall my first trip to wisconsin (early 90's) and we had the opposite problem. They put us in the first row directly behind the badger bench. This was before the renovations at the Camp and our seats were seemingly below the field level. (They don't sell those seats any longer, they are covered with a tarp, I think.) We could barely see when the teams were warming up. Once the players were on the sideline, standing on the benches, we could see nothing but the backs of the players. And there were no HD video boards on which to watch the game.

I had a similar sucky experience(early 2000's?). It was bad. I laugh, because it was so bad we were basically sitting in the aisle. My friend said" everytime they stand up to cheer slide in. We finally had a "seat".

Happened to me at Kinnick as well...I think in 2009? It was cool being so close to the field, but couldn't see anything when action was on the other end.

The roar of the Nittany Lion on the loudspeaker got old.

The tailgate lots are huge. Go on for acres. Fly into Pittsburgh. Rent a camper or RV or whatever and sleep in overnight lots.

Get a "Box of Rocks" at the Rathskeller.

Penn state hasn’t been full: not sure it’ll be an issue
