Heard from a private box ticket holder that a certain person is definitely showing up for the game. Since I drive into the stadium from the north, right by the airport and Toftrees to get to N22 parking lot. Any word on how this a$$hole, excuse me person, plans on getting to the game? My plans were to be at my parking area by 930 .

IMO the bigger problem is the noon start. Gameday arrivals can be spread over more hours when it's a late afternoon or night game.

I don't know how many cars in a presidential motorcade. A dozen?

I’d guess a bit less than that, but it’s going to be painful no matter how many vehicles there are. The issue is the travel route and the number of intersections they will close down (and for how long - especially en route). Once it passes they move pretty quickly. But I’ve stood in DC and watched them close a road 20 minutes before any cars pass through.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if all of those closures occur at/after kickoff. Come in at 12:30-1, get to the stadium, hang for an hour, and back out before the game ends.

According to the campaign website, POTUS45 should be in Milwaukee Friday, New Hampshire Saturday and Virginia on Sunday.
According to the campaign website VPOTUS should be in Michigan Friday and Saturday.

Given the logistics and security associated with moving either one of these candidates around, I would venture that coming to the PSU-OSU game is not probable.

Plus, neither one of them can order a double dip cone from the Creamery with different flavors. And since they can't do that, what is the point of being on Campus?

What time does Bill Pickles Taproom open on Saturday? It's the only bar open for 12pm starts. The website says 11 but it's always open before that on gamedays. Anyone know?

My guess is that he will fly in on a helicopter and land in a field relatively close to Beaver Stadium. He will likely have a very quick entrance and exit and who knows how long he will be there. If it's a good game and he gets a lot of face time, he could be there all afternoon.

Will he be using the SC airport at all? I figure if I am past the airport by 9 I should be good to go. My phone has been blowing up all day because we have at least a dozen friends who come into the stadium the same way

and the Pennsylvania State Police might ask him to buzz a few tailgates for them

Also they have been working on 322 both East and West near 7 Mountains - hopefully it's done now but they had it down to 1 lane for a bit.

Champs website says they open at 12:00 but I wonder if these places open sooner given the noon kickoff.

Zero reports of his visits to other sporting events affecting traffic or gate activity. However if your TDS is acting up we can call you a Waaaambulance.
Where those other events similar in local and infrastructure as State College? I mean c'mon have you been to a noon game? Traffic is already mess and thats when it's a MAC team.
Only thing that might work is if he didn't show up until after the game has started.

They let Clinton order a double dip.

Brothers Bar & Grill has been opening earlier than the other SC bars this season. I'd try that first.

Yes, and I believe he was sitting POTUS at the time.

This web site has him in WI Friday evening and in VA late Saturday afternoon. If accurate, he could easily make an appearance at the game for an hour or so and be in VA before 4:00 pm.

FWIW, there are knowledgeable posters on the other site who are indicating it is pretty much a definite he'll be at the game. Zero details on timing, though.

By 9 yes. You should fine. So breathe deep and relax.

That's not exactly true.

For those going to the game, you may want to get in line early.

Well there you go, parking/getting into the stadium should be far easier now.
