If I never again have to show my smiling face in Happy Valley, I'll be a happy camper.
1. Can't get there from anywhere.
2. Takes hours to go the final 10 miles to the convenient parking spot.
3. Takes twice as long to get out after the game.
4. Joe Pa is a crabby old guy.
5. They turned their ticket sales over to TicketMaster or some such, gouging fans.
6. They went after the high school that had a similar logo, citing copywright.
7. Now they're squeezing quarters by selling press passes.
Fuckabuncha Penn State.

I covered Penn State football for parts of three seasons (this decade) and never once witnessed open cheering in the press box. Of course, the atmosphere could have been different in 1993.

And just to address an earlier post, they have reserved media parking just outside Beaver Stadium. Much nicer than having to park in Timbuktu and walk, like at most other schools I've covered.

Yep, it's about a 60-second walk from the car to the elevator.

And I'll add I've never heard cheering in that box. Now if you want to talk about Ann Arbor...

Last, PSU's media relations staff churns out more post-game info than any other school in the conference.

No, I'm not Jeff Nelson.

Too bad, you might find a spot in a bullpen next year.
