Friend of mine gets a media pass for all Ohowihate games. He has said the Penn State press box is like the inside of a German U Boat. Easily worst in all his travels.
HOWEVER, the absolute best spread laid out for the media. Great food he says.

It's just chicken cosmos, ice cream, west halls chocolatechip cookies.

Our regular food is everyone else's best ever.

I sat there for the infamous MD no handshake game. It was a dump- at best.

Does anyone have any parking passes for sale to watch? ;) Rece Davis took a little jab at Beaver Stadium on College Game Day talking about the press box coming down and saying the stadium looks like an erector set. If PSU is spending that much money on the stadium they should give it a facelift all around the outside. His idea isn't a bad one if you are spending what $700 million give the Beav a facelift.

Remember that chubby Toledo coach they kept showing over and over that year we lost to them? He may still be in there.
CHUBBY????
Seriously he went probably 350.
Tom Amstutz. He took over when Pinkle went to Missouri and was promptly removed a few years later.
He’s a friend of a friend. Took my son to my friend’s house to swim and fatstutz is there. Talk football. He claims Toledo has Darrell Clark all wrapped up ready to sign, and Penn State came calling.
We know the rest is the story!

I’m pretty sure a facelift is part of the $700 MM renovation.
