The Penn State Nittany Lions continue to draw some of the biggest crowds to Beaver Stadium in college football.
Penn State football fans certainly aren't indifferent toward their team. They might complain about losing to Ohio State and Michigan for three straight years, the offense's frustrating turns over the year or even the, well, bathroom situation at Beaver Stadium . But for sure, Nittany Lions fans show up.
Moreover, Penn State's 2023 season featured three of the 10 largest crowds in Beaver Stadium. And for the first time in program history, Penn State announced three crowds of 110,000 or more during the 2023 season. For all the judgment Penn State coach James Franklin gets for not winning "big games," his teams have filled the building. Penn State has seated four of its 10 largest crowds in the Franklin era. Notably, Beaver Stadium's capacity has been above 106,000 since 2001.
"We will be over 100,000 for sure," Kraft said in an interview. "We will continue to evaluate that. We want to have as big a stadium as we can. We want everyone to be able to have an opportunity to come to the games, and over 100,000 fans is really important. It’s part of our DNA."
