Beaver Stadium
Beaver Stadium is the next largest football stadium in the United States.
It has been the home of the Big Ten Conference's Penn State Nittany Lions since 1960, while some parts of the stadium date back to 1909.
New Beaver Field opened in 1909, about where the Nittany Parking Deck now stands, just northeast of Rec Hall.
The stadium is named after James A. Beaver, a former governor of Pennsylvania (1887–91), president of the university's board of trustees, and a native of nearby Millerstown, Pennsylvania.
Beaver Stadium is the second-largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere and the fourth largest in the world, with an official seating capacity of 106,572.
In a poll conducted by USA Today in 2016, Beaver Stadium has rated the best football stadium in college football, receiving almost 41% of the vote.
In a poll conducted by USA Today in March 2019, voters were asked to choose the best stadium in the United States, and Beaver Stadium defeated Kansas' Allen Fieldhouse to win the title of Ultimate Stadium.
