Penn State football is less than a month away from its annual Blue-White game. The Nittany Lions hope that the traditional end-of-spring scrimmage will return to a normal format this year after injuries along the offensive line forced them to play a modified version of the event in 2022.

The other thing I think will be helpful is — again it’s early to say this — but based on our numbers right now, we anticipate going back to a traditional spring game look we’ve had in the past,” Franklin said earlier this month. “I know a lot of people have gone away from that, [but] I think there’s value in it. I also think that we’re one of the unusual schools where when 75,000 people show up to watch a spring game I would like to be able to give ’em a spring game. 

“We’re one of the unique places, we’re going to have more people at our spring game than most people have for a regular game in the fall. So whenever we can create a spring game atmosphere we want to do that for the fans. But I also think there’s value.”

Penn State released details on parking fees, the time Beaver Stadium’s gates will open, and more on April 15. The Blue-White game starts at 2 p.m. ET. Find everything else you need to know below.

What’s up with parking?

Those with a Penn State football season parking booklets from last year already have their pass. Others will need to buy one for $20 by cash or card. But, it won’t be all mobile passes like a year ago. And, the lots open at 8 a.m.

“Pass holders will have priority parking in Lots 17, 18, 31 and 41 from 8 a.m. to noon,” a news release said. At noon, these lots will begin accepting day of game sales. All other lots near Beaver Stadium will open at 8 a.m. for day of game sales. There is ADA parking reserved in Lots 17,18, 31 and 41.

“Car parking passes will be available for advanced purchase at the Athletic Ticket Office at the Bryce Jordan Center. Athletic Ticket Office hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. RV passes will not be sold in advance of game day.

“RV parking is restricted to the overnight RV lot. Passes for the RV were only distributed to those who had a 2022 season RV pass. Day of game RV parking will cost $60. Those who arrive to the ORV lot on Friday without a pass will owe $40 for a companion car for two-night parking and $100 for RV two-night parking.”

When will Penn State open the gates, and where do I enter?

Fans can begin entering Beaver Stadium at Noon. Penn State will open Gates A, B, C and E. The normal bag policy (“Clear tote bags, which can be sized 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or smaller; a 4″ x 6″ x 1” small clutch or wristlet) is in effect. And, admission is free.
