Love your spirit bro but don't share it this week.....Where is everyone going on Friday night?
Saturday to celebrate the win?
If you're staying over, I recommend that you plan to fire up the tailgate for an hour or two after the game while the lots empty out and then head down to the restaurants and bars. Particularly if you are with a mixed group of Pitt and PSU fans. The RV lots will rocking all night.
For those who have not been to State College since 1999 or have never been there, it's grown quite a bit over the last 20 years and is a fantastic college town. The bars and the downtown area in general will be absolutely packed by about 9pm. I don't expect it to get super rowdy like it does after a win over Michigan or OSU following an 8pm start, but everyone is pretty excited about this squad and it will be nice to get this monkey off our back. The mood and atmosphere should be pretty good. I've had a great time hanging out with fans from Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, and other schools after both wins and losses. As is always true in life, if you're not looking for trouble you're unlikely to find it.
Regardless of where you go, if you act cool the vast majority of PSU fans will return the favor. You may run into the occasional drunk a-hole that does not know how to be gracious in victory or defeat, but with 100,000+ fans roaming around that's almost unavoidable. However, there are far more of us who will tell that guy to STFU than there are of that type.
I'd suggest refraining from grave desecration or harassing an octogenarian who by all accounts is a very sweet lady, regardless of how you feel about her late husband. That would get ugly real fast, and would be wrong on many levels.
Hope to see some of you there, and that we all have a great weekend.
Good move buying the pass in advance. The yellow lots are great by the way - that's where the party is. I'll be in the much more laid-back blue lot that comes with our season tickets since I'm taking my family to this one, but my heart is always in the yellow lots! Try to approach from the south on University Drive via Rt 26 or the west on Park Ave vis Rt 322. From the north and sometime the east they might put you in these crappy fields that are un-moved and on a fairly steep incline. Those field suck for both atmosphere and comfort. Get there between 8am and 10am if you can.How far is it from the yellow lots into town? Is it possible walk into town after the game and then walk back to the yellow lots (I bought a pre-paid pass)

It's a 20+ minute walk to College Ave, as the yellow lots are on the far north side of campus. I'm not sure how long you're allowed to leave a car there after the game ends, but as long as you're not planning to close down the bars you should be ok. I'll try to find out and will report back on this thread if I can. You definitely cannot park there overnight.
I know many of you hate us and all things PSU, but big game days (and this is a big one, given last year's loss and our expectations this year) are a true spectacle and you'll really enjoy yourself if you go in wanting to and expecting to.
I park at the Shields Building at Curtin & University Drive. The clown patrol has University Dr blocked off at the aforementioned intersection.Try to approach from the south on University Drive
Oh, right, I was thinking of Porter Rd. If you come up Porter I guess it's a crap shoot whether they have you turn right and park near the Ag Arena or left to go to the Intramural Fields, and if you come in from the East on Park ave via the 322 bypass they are going to put you into the Ag area. I definitely prefer tailgating on the IM fields.I park at the Shields Building at Curtin & University Drive. The clown patrol has University Dr blocked off at the aforementioned intersection.

Are you planning to tailgate? If not I would recommend parking on one of the on campus garages. Either the Eisenhower or East Parking Decks have convenient locations. Eisenhower is closer to downtown area. They will also take your parking permit. From either one it a short walk to the stadium or down town. If you want you can even take the free campus loop to downtown.How far is it from the yellow lots into town?

Not in the cards.
Also you have great pic there, that's what's it's all about ain't it?
curious if Irma's projected path runs thru central pa by Saturday? Too early to tell but not all that unrealistic..If it rains, all bets are off. Not sure where the shuttles run from anymore. Just know there is a lot less parking now and if they start closing the fields for rain, it's not even worth trying to park close.
Last Iheard Irma wasn't going to hit Florida until the weekend which would mean it won't hit $hitty valley until early next week.curious if Irma's projected path runs thru central pa by Saturday? Too early to tell but not all that unrealistic..

I vote the lion statue. We can use that area similar to the steps in d.c. after penguin wins. We can even dress up the lion with proper pitt gear to make him more presentable.
