Who’s Coming To Penn’s Party?

Believe it or not, Beaver Stadium – the Penn State football stadium that’s been around since 1960 – will be hosting its first concert next year.

The University Park, Pa., venue is not celebrating a major renovation or anything of the sort but one small change will be bringing a yet-to-be-named superstar to the facility July 8: namely, alcohol.

The Penn State board of trustees recently allowed a liquor license for non-Penn State events at the stadium and nearby Pegula Ice Arena. In September, the arena recently hosted its first NHL preseason game ever and liquor was served.

“We had zero alcohol-related incidents,” Penn State’s Phil Esten told the Centre Daily Times. “The license also allows us to have it in controlled spaces (like suites). We have not done that this year in Beaver Stadium but we will in the future, probably.”

The college is expected to announce the headliner during a home game Nov. 5.
