Beaver Stadium

Pennsylvania


Here's some trivia: during Penn State football games, this stadium, which can seat over 106,000 spectators, becomes the third largest city in the state. Other superlatives: it's the second-largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere, and third-largest in the world. Watching a game is a raucous scene, but if you can score a ticket, consider indulging in some hardcore Americana.
