This Penn State football The blue-white game will continue next month, a large part as usual, in the active construction zone now known as West Shore Home Champ Au Beaver Stadium.
The major warnings: the fray which means the end of spring training will be a little shorter this time, said coach James Franklin on Tuesday, to launch the training of spring training.
And it won’t be a television, he said.
THE Blue-white game will start at 2 p.m. on April 26.
“One of the things I do not think we will do is a half time, because there are years when we will have 75,000 people, (they) go half-time for 20 minutes, and the parking lot (and the heel) becomes more attractive than the second half.
“So, probably, we will condense it a little, maybe a little shorter, perhaps not half-time,” said Franklin.
The annual free fray expects to have a mixture of “live” periods and without tackling, in part, to better protect the large contingent of experienced team players against injuries, said Franklin.
However, “I want (the game) to be sufficient … that our fans feel like they,” hey, I have a fairly good feeling and a good idea what will be like Penn State football. “”
Franklin also noted how the fray can help a new defensive chief Jim Knowles – Who Penn State made the best paid assistant in the history of university football in January. He will call Nittany Lion Plays for the first time at the Beaver Stadium.
“These things are important to obtain these representatives and for him to assess our staff and for him to assess our list. The 15 (spring practices) are like gold.”

Penn State Football: play during the renovations of the Beaver stadium
There are still no parking, tailoring or entrance details available for the game. It will of course be played in the 700 million dollars stadium renovation project, which seriously started last December. The work will stop, only during the two to come.
The project should be completed in time for the 2027 season.
Earlier this month, the University concluded a partnership of “names” with West Shore Home, a Pennsylvania Home renovation company – an agreement of $ 50 million which will take place until 2039 and will help finance the renovation project of the Beaver stadium.
