Standing side by side my friends singing the alma mater or shaking our pompoms, it was the experience of a lifetime.ĭespite this year’s upset (sore subject I know), Penn State fans always band together to support their school and their amazing Big 10 football team. It was a feeling of utter disbelief: disbelief about how many people surrounded me, disbelief about the hype, and absolute disbelief about the sense of family that we all had. Standing in the 9 th row behind the field goal at the 2018 White Out game is an experience that will stick with me forever. … And when they’re ranked in the top 10 and they bring in an opponent in the top 10, you’re not going to find a better, more intimidating, more involved fan base for 60 minutes than the White Out at State College.” (Centre Daily). As said by Kirk Herbstreit, an ESPN and ABC lead college football analyst who is a host for College Gameday and who just so happened to be a former Ohio State quarterback, “It’s the best atmosphere year in and year out. And ever since, Penn State has embraced this new-found tradition and created an atmosphere incomparable to any other sporting event. In 2007, the entire stadium was decked out in all-white to support the football team. This white-out tradition started in 2004 when Penn State played Purdue University at home and the entire student section was draped in white. In fact, it broke Penn State history this year with over 110,000 attendees in Beaver Stadium, all dressing in white waving their pom-poms. ()Įach year, Penn State has one game so special that it brings out a massive crowd. The Penn State football culture is a highlighting factor of our university and it is a major attraction for families, alumni, and college football fans everywhere. There is nothing quite like the feeling of being surrounded by over 100,000 people in one place, watching the same game, and rooting for the same team. If you have ever been to a Penn State football game, it is undeniable that you have felt a pure sense of joy and community.
