Hard to believe a bunch of ultra-rich spoiled big-money oil people don't like State College.
Frankly, I'd consider that a positive for State College.
The Playoffs (and seeding) are a reward for excellent regular seasons. It's that way in every Pro or College sport. Don't want to go to another stadium for a Playoff game? Put together a solid-great regular season. Penn State earned it - like it or notHonestly I'm on PSU's side in this. Don't like the other team's stadium or town or airport? Then don't go to the game.
North Dakota State has the Fargodome but honestly, the biggest part of its home field advantage and the program's playoff success is that visiting fans don't want to go visit Fargo in the late fall or early winter.

seems to me those Penn State alums do pretty well for themselves...funny how knuckleheads equate liberal colleges as being redneck bastions......Guessing those hillbillies in Austin Texas are in the same class of redneck'dom.Talk about a difference in class culture. Texas millionaires vs Pennsyltucky rednecks
And don't let the "spoiled SMU fan" narrative deceive you. There are a lot of PSU fans who fly in at the last minute for games.
Wasn't PSU ranked in the top 4 or 5 all year? What am I missing?The Playoffs (and seeding) are a reward for excellent regular seasons....not sure how that applies to Penn State this year...

Exactly, if you have the money to fly a private plane, get there earlier. I don't feel bad at all...but that stadium is a dump.So you're going to a big event in a relatively small town that is serviced by a small regional airport, the game starts at noon, and you wait to fly in a couple hours before the game, and then you are pissed off that things don't go perfectly smoothly.
Yeah, too freaking bad for you, dumbass.
It is. Which is I guess why they are going to spend $800 million redoing it.Exactly, if you have the money to fly a private plane, get there earlier. I don't feel bad at all...but that stadium is a dump.
This is dumb - how do you know it's a chithole if you're going for the first time?Honestly I'm on PSU's side in this. Don't like the other team's stadium or town or airport? Then don't go to the game.

It is called Happy Valley. Sort of sets an expectation.This is dumb - how do you know it's a chithole if you're going for the first time?
Probably why the stadium was so empty. The 30 billionaires from TX weren’t counted.Talk about a difference in class culture. Texas millionaires vs Pennsyltucky rednecks
Yep...like it's utopia.It is called Happy Valley. Sort of sets an expectation.

That would be a really nice college football stadium at that cost if brand new.It is. Which is I guess why they are going to spend $800 million redoing it.
That is a hell of a lot of money.
I've been there several times and the stadium is a total disgrace, terrible bench seats with numbers so close together you have to alternate leaning forward and back so you can fit in the row. If it rains your tailgate sits in a mud pit and very easy losing you way to find your seats.
PSux advantage is also it' detriment. Located where it is literally the only thing to do within 50 miles of the the campus so huge turnout but since nothing is there why put any money into a small time pathetic airport. Bobby Knight was right, PSux didn't deserve to be in the Big 10 for any sport but football. Just goes to show you the rest of NCAA sports are a joke.
