Beaver Stadium reconstruction thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I sat in the new temporary section yesterday. Lots of stairs, but you can take an escalator to the concourse, and then deal with the stairs to get to your seats. Funny moment yesterday, as everybody was standing up for the National Anthem, there was an obvious “swaying” of the section. Immediately, everybody looked at each other with a look of “did that just happen?” I have to admit that I started to think about a possible bad outcome. It was the only part of the day that I “felt” the section move.
I imagine it will really get moving at the White Out when Zombie Nation is playing. You can feel the north upper deck move as well. If these things didn't move and flex, they'd break.
Lost in the discussions about a 3-0 start, if Allar is really any good, the Adidas deal, WPSU, and Neeli's new contract, is the fact nobody has died a horrible death in the temporary bleachers. Yet. Reading this thread made me think it was going to be a blood bath. So far, so good. Or maybe it's been mayhem and the university has kept a lid on it.
You missed one, the scoreboard. Who the hell operates that thing. It's not Lion Jim or the Count. Time of possession clock was horrid, and first downs. Never mind. Barely had the scoreboard right. But. You had to be there. Hopefully the other new components of the homefield work better than these after the remodel job.
was ridiculously wrong for most the game
Also, who’s in charge of updating the out of town scores. Because cell service is so $hitty, I didn’t know Klimpson had lost until I left the stadium.
Franklin said postgame that the team will practice in Beaver stadium under the lights this week, because the lights are new and the team hasn't played under them. Do we actually have a lighting upgrade, or is this just because of the upper west side being torn down and some new (temporary) lights had to replace the old ones? I figure we're getting some of these fancy color changing LED lights at some point as part of the renovation and was wondering if we might see that show up already against Oregon.
Two weeks before… couldn’t even get an Ohio State - Texas score on it. Pathetic all season.
Perhaps it happens every spring, but does PSU usually rip out the playing field grass? If not, you have to wonder about footing this Fall.
if you have to ask, you can't afford itWhat’s the tab now?
There is a very interesting storyline here. Much more so than what people have yet been talking about.
Then please, go ahead and talk about it.
Thank God for data centers and A.I .................
...mustn't let the Nittany cat out of the bagAI answer to your question:
"Beaver Stadium has transitioned from natural grass to artificial turf, specifically a modern FieldTurf product, to enhance durability and performance. This change was made due to the challenges of maintaining a grass field in the harsh climate of central Pennsylvania, which can lead to muddy and uneven surfaces. The current artificial turf surface is designed to provide a consistent playing experience, which has been a significant improvement over the traditional grass field."

When does the data center go in at Beaver Stadium? They don’t need one, but why not?
Would a data center improve cell service?? If so, I'm all for it.
My two H.C. seats in the pic below.
Hopefully after enduring, tolerating and recovering from the incidental effects the C. difficile infection in my intestines the last 2-1/2 yrs maybe I'll make a few games this year.
So far, probiotic supplements seemed to have lessen daily toilet time and 9-months of therapy to mend the cartilage and muscles connecting individual ribs in my right rib cage have helped greatly. To date have avoided any *'FMT' treatments.
Should the need for a FMT arise in the future, maybe Pnny/Chumboshifko would consider being a stool doner.
*Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT): For individuals with recurrent infections, FMT may be considered. This procedure involves transplanting healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into the patient's colon to restore a healthy gut microbiome.
Probiotics: While the role of probiotics in treating C. diff is still being studied, they may help restore healthy gut bacteria. Foods rich in probiotics include yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods

Didn't PSU just replace the turf after the Luke Combs concert? (The type of event that - when trying to justify the $700 renovation - PSU said they "couldn't do" without the $700 Million renovation)
Anyway:
Didn't they replace the turf then (less than 2 years ago)? Or am I mis-remembering?
What happened?

You could find plenty of donors on this board since many of us are repeatedly told we are full.My two H.C. seats in the pic below.

Keep getting better, step
Only at Penn State can they do a complete rebuild of the stadium and still try to keep it a secret in the damn videos 
Plus the excess heat that a data center generates will make those late fall and winter games so much more tolerable. And built in snow melting so bonus all around
I’m actually in State College today and drove by the stadium this evening. You can see the west side of the stadium going vertical, and the height is very impressive.
