It’s only off by a few miles, I believe it’s somewhere around Bellefonte. It’s by design too they wanted the land grant state university right in the middle of the commonwealth.
Home field advantage is a real thing in college. Stadiums will go silent when the home team offense is on the field but go berzerk when the opposing offense is on the field. It makes it harder for the offense to hear the cadence, play call and audibles
@@daunte8106 the defenders purposely pump up the crowd, the defence doesn't need to communicate as much since alot of defence is just reacting to what the offense does.
Usually not snapping the ball on time results in a delay of game penalty. The Michigan coaches realized that this was about to happen and called a time out on the sideline before the play clock hit zero. The camera doesn't immediately catch this, but you can see that Michigan is missing a timeout after that. What makes this moment unique is that the stadium was so loud Michigan couldn't get the play off and had to burn a timeout before the game clock even started running.
Penn State is exactly in the geographic center of the state, almost equidistant from Philly (3 hours drive) and Pittsburgh (2.5 hour drive). And the players wear blue instead of white during Whiteout games so they don't blend in w/the crowd as much. Make the other team wear white and try to pick out receivers w/all the white in the background. - A PSU alumnus
Hawkeye faithful here, it is Iowa you’re referring too. I’ve been to every Hawkeye game since it was introduced in 2017, and it makes me tear up every time i wave to those kids up there. They are fighting battles bigger than any rivalry in sports. It’s 60 mins they don’t have to worry about the unimaginable diseases they are battling. More brave than any adult could ever be.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but Iowa fans need to stop with it already. "look up there at all the sick and dying kids, lets wave to them and act like it was some amazing humanitarian gesture before this game of intense violence" It's a football game ffs, keep it light. The reminders of the sick kids before every game, the forced empathy... it's a bit much. It's worse that Iowa fans act like this is some great act... you're waving, not donating a kidney.
@@TahiriVeila13ABYthere is a special on espn, I suggest you watch it. It means more to those kids than anything. If you must know head coach Kirk Ferentz donates millions of dollars to that hospital as his granddaughter died during treatment there. The players across all Iowa sports REGULARLY donate time and money to the hospital spending hours with those kids. The kids love it, the families of the kids love it, and us as Hawkeye nation love that we get a chance to make those kids feel good even if only for a couple Saturdays a year. You obviously have never been to a Hawkeye game or a children’s hospital for that matter so I’ll forgive your ignorance. Educate yourself. You speak of humanitarian work, humanitarian by definition is the offering of one’s time, money, or resources to people in need. We aren’t doctors so we can’t help treat them, but we can help financially and at the very least show them we care about them and we are thinking of them.

It’s in “State College, Pennsylvania” which is pretty central of the state and is actually about an hours drive closer to the West (Pittsburgh) than the East (Philly) and has fans statewide (even in Pittsburgh even though Pittsburgh has their own big sports school in the University of Pittsburgh as well. Pitt Vs Penn State is an all time classic rivalry that has been played over 100 times and the fans hate each other- although PSU fans will claim they “don’t care” about Pitt- for this reason)
It is exactly in the middle of Pennsylvania, as the legislators could not agree where to found it, so they compromised. Philly wanted it in Philly. Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh.
@@ajnewhouse6217 Lmao you just proved my point. You got annoyed enough to reply and must have missed over where I said “even tho PSU fans will claim they don’t care”
@@Mark_Caddenas a penn state fan i can assure u we are far more worried about michigan and ohio state right now, but i do love watching pitt vs penn state even tho our rivalry got pretty onesided in recent years. we don’t really consider u guys rivals anymore, but we definitely still don’t like u lmao
It's a little ironic that Jim Harbaugh, the Michigan coach, had been QB for the Bears where he once had a very bad game at a loud stadium. The Bears were playing the Vikings in Minnesota, known for being very loud; for this reason he was ordered to not call an audible. He did anyway, threw a pick-6, and proceeded to get chewed out by Bears coach Mike Ditka.
I graduated from Penn State in 2021 and have been to every whiteout game since 2016. You are right they only have 1 whiteout game per year and it’s against the best opponent Penn State plays at night. The whiteout is considered a unanimous top 2 atmosphere in college football (with LSU being the other). I will be attending the whiteout game this year vs Iowa in late September. This year is very exciting as Penn State should have their best team in 6-7 years.
Penn State has about 70,000 undergraduate students. Stanford, for example, has about 1,700 undergrad students. These schools are in D1 and occasionally play each other.
It's actually closer to 48,000 (grad and undergrad) in State College. Now, if you add in all the branch campuses plus the world campus it is close to 90,000.
I’ve experienced the White-Out game as a Rutgers fan back in 2015 when we were a decent team and *almost* considered rivals. I knew we wouldn’t beat Penn State but the atmosphere was unreal and it is absolutely worth attending. Will definitely visit again!
If you guys are coming to the states, I suggest you come in late October. College and NFL football will be in full swing. Baseball will be in the League Championship round of the playoffs. NBA and NHL will be beginning. Even MLS will be in playoffs. You need to come to somewhere in the South, like Atlanta, for best college football in SEC. You will be about 3 hours from Alabama, 1 and half hour from Auburn, Georgia or Clemson. Clemson is in ACC, but still a top team. Nashville is 4 hours away for NHL. You can take your pick of sport, or team and see the atmosphere of each sport. Some of these games, you don't have to have a ticket to enjoy, at the tale gates there will be plenty of TV' s.
In the clip Michigan called a time out before the play clock ran out so no penalty was given. Not getting the play off in time is a delay of the game, which is a 5 yrd penalty.
Well Daz, usually this is one game and it's usually a big home game for Penn State and they are usually sold out in advance, so I don't think you would be able to participate this year or next, unless you are a celebrity guest.
You can almost always get tickets in downtown State College the day of the game from scalpers. Of course, for a game against a rival like Michigan or Ohio State, the tickets can be pretty expensive. I’ve bought tickets a few times downtown and never had a problem.
I go to Penn State. The whiteout is a tradition that went back to the mis 2000's when our student section all decided to wear white and be as loud as possible for I believe Notre Dame. Then it transitioned to the entire stadium wearing white... It is the best environment in the entire world and no one else is even close... Every other school will say they are but when you watch how loud it gets you'll see that it's not even close.
In American Football, the away team almost always wears white. The one exception is when it's a really hot game, the home team is allowed to pick which color jersey they want to wear, so they'll pick the white jersey to make it hotter for the other team. Also if you guys want to truly experience noise you'll have to go to the Kansas City Chiefs stadium.
There are numerous universities in Philadelphia but Penn State is not one of them (except for a satellite campus). The big five universities in Philly are the University of Pennsylvania (Ivy League), Villanova, Temple, Lasalle, and St Joseph’s.
There are 12 games in a college football regular season; so there are 6 home games. They have multiple theme nights like White Out, Stripe Out, THON game, Homecoming, Military Appreciation, etc.
Penn State is located in Central Pennsylvania in the middle of the state. It is about half-way between both Pittsburgh & Philadelphia. The town is called State College, PA. Great and pretty place to visit and live.
White Out (or black out or similar for other teams) are usually special games 1 time a year or maybe for the playoffs. They usually have giveaway shirts for all of the fans so that everyone wears the color and makes it really impressive looking. This happens in multiple sports, not just NCAAF.
Even though State College is in the center of PA, Philly is on the southeastern border and pittsburgh is about 50ish miles from the western border and 100 miles from the south border. Scranton is in the northeast of the state too since you mentioned it. Even New York city is not too far of a drive if thats easier to get an international flight to. However, if you are flying in I'd recommend flying to Pittsburgh. I am born/raised in Philly, went to Penn state for undergrad, and lived in pittsburgh for a few years, so I'm a pennsylvanian through and through.
Having spent time at both, I would rather not take a flight out of the Philadelphia airport ever again. Pittsburgh's is ok, for sure better in my opinion. The one time I flew threw LAX was better than when I went through Philly even. My only worse experience at an international airport has been in Denver.
As stated before PSU is located between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg (the capital of Pennsylvania)... For the most part, state universities are located in or around the state capital.
Come out for Michigan-Penn State in November! Top tier environment and tailgate scene, two top 10 rivals likely playing with the conference title and a trip to the Playoffs on the line.
In 2006 or 07 the Chicago White Sox had a play-in game to go to the playoffs and they had a BLACKOUT game where all us fans wore all black... it was one of the coolest things I've seen live at a sporting event. Building was rocking the entire game
Hey guys. Penn St is a little SE of Pittsburgh. I believe they only have the whiteout once a season. This year it is scheduled for Sept 23rd (I think that's right) This year the unlucky guest team is The iowa Hawkeyes. Also Penn St, Michigan and Iowa are all Big 10 teams but Penn St and Michigan are in different divisions within the conference. Also it is Iowa that does the salute for the kids at the Childrens Hosp right next door to the stadium.
The Pegulas who own the Buffalo sabres and Buffalo bills gave over 88 million to fund Penn state NCAA div 1 ice hockey and build the arena. Mr. Pegula a billionaire graduated from Penn State in 1973.
I was at that game. Best atmosphere I've ever experienced. Somehow it got even louder after they blew the whistle for the time out. And you're right it is only one White Out per season, not every game.
Pitt is in the south west, Philly is the south east, State College (Penn State) is close to the center. Most of the largest colleges have stadiums which are bigger than NFL stadiums because they're in areas without pro teams, so they literally are like the local NFL team. And so you know, the call and response is "WE ARE!!!".... "PENN STATE" .... which is rooted in lore as the teams answer to whether or not they should leave a black player - Wally Triplett behind when playing Miami a team that wouldn't let black players play. The team took a vote, and unanimously said "WE ARE ALL PENN STATE" which lost the "ALL" over time, and became our call and respond. It's also the LOUDEST stadium in the country, due to it's size and shape. ALSO Penn State - Pennsylvania State University, is NOT PENN - University of Pennsylvania. Penn is in Philly and was founded by Benjamin Franklin. One last thing... Penn State is one of the oldest teams playing football, the uniforms reflect this. There are no names, no helmet stickers, it's always been like that, because they're not individuals, they're ONE TEAM. You can count the teams on one hand who still embody that blue collar work ethic. Penn State, Alabama, to name two. And yes... the White out is ONE game a year. It's a nationally televised game, and is considered to be the most intimidating and toughest environment to play in.
So a kinda basic thing in American Football, Offense goes off of a snap count, auditory... Defense is supposed to move when they see the ball move. Not talking to the video makers, just anyone curious. So when the opposing team has the ball and the defense can look for visuals, and communicate by hand signals, it helps when the crowd is loud, if its your home crowd when you're on defense. can make the offense mishear snaps, plays etc...
Penn Stater here. It is in the middle of the state in Centre County, PA. It's about midway between Philly and Pittsburgh. It's closest to the state capital, Harrisburg, about an hour and a half to the West of there.
Pennsylvania State University Beaver Stadium is in middle of Pennsylvania in town of State College (main campus). It is almost dead center in middle of state. (University of Pennsylvania is in Philadelphia & University of Pittsburgh is in Pittsburgh.) It is a 5 yard penalty for not snapping ball before 30-second clock expires. Penn State does "white outs" for most home games. It is University of Iowa Buckeyes stadium fans that wave to kids in nearby hospital.
Its in the middle of nowhere! Its a 150 miles east of Pittsburgh and 200 miles from Philadelphia. My daughter is starting her senior season in a two weeks. We are Penn State!!!!!
My wife and I were at this year's whiteout game this past Saturday. All I can say is it is *exactly* like it comes off in this video, except you're right in the middle of 110,830 people shouting WE ARE PENN STATE. Go. Absolutely go. Also: what this video doesn't show is that the fans have a scoreboard charting yards lost and timeouts taken because of crowd noise.
Penn State is located in the town of State College, PA near the center of the state of Pennsylvania. Northwest of the Capitol Harrisburg. It has campuses around the state but the main campus is State College.
They called a timeout. You get 3 per half. Delay of game is a 5 yard penalty. The White out game is only one per year. This year it's against Iowa and it's always a night game usually the most important night game that year. Iowa waves at the kids hospital. Wisconsin has the "jump around" at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Penn State’s colors are blue and white they wear blue at home and white for away games. Penn State is in central Pennsylvania in the middle of nowhere what makes it even louder is the echo that bounces off the mountains coming back. It’s a small college town
Hey guys! Penn State is a ‘land grant’ college - the state gave the land to create the school in 1865 and in this case they drew lines from the NW corner of the state to the SE… and from the SW to the NE… and built the school in the center where the lines crossed. And Penn State is its own town - University Park, & the City that has grown alongside the university is State College, where the restaurants and shops and businesses are. There is a ticket purchase line, but the white out game is a tough get… but not impossible. I was offered a ticket for this year’s white out game with Iowa (Sept 24) which I had to turn down!
It's one thing to watch it on TV or on here, but a whole other monster to watch it in person. I should say feel or hear it in person. It's almost like feeling the bass in a car with a ridiculous sound system except with 110,000 people screaming in unison in an outdoor environment. You can feel it in your chest. I haven't experienced anything like it. You NEED to experience it.
It used to be a penalty against the home team if they did not quieten down after the ball was set. Thankfully they finally dropped that. Still, they were really pushing it in this clip. You are still not allowed to be playing audio/music/crowd noise amplified through microphones/basically any artificial noise through the PA system, after the ball is set.
Usually these types of things are only one game, usually a big game. The University puts the shirts on every seat and the fans put them on when they get there
Have lived in state college and am a penn state fan my whole life. I will tell you. You have to get to a penn state white out. It's by far the best atmosphere in college football.
The blasting music while Michigan is on the ball is illegal. They can’t artificially increase crowd noise to influence the game. (Opposition ability to hear snap count, etc). Big Ten btw. I’m an Indiana University grad also from B10
I didn't realize the significance at the time, but I surely was there for the first white out games in 2004-2005. At first it was only the student section in white, but it looked so good on TV it spread to the whole crowd every year.
There is nothing like a Penn State white out game. The Atmosphere is tremendous. Other teams and their fans don't quite get it. Unless they are the opposing team in one.
The Lion King theme song is playing because the Penn State team nickname (and mascot ) is the "Nittany Lions". The University emblem and mascot is the mountain lion.
The 1980 Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott touchdown pass in the Georgia Bulldogs versus Florida Gators game was the most electrifying moment in college football history. That miraculous late-game pass saved Georgia's undefeated and championship season.
I too, when I first heard of the Penn State whiteout, assumed that they wore white at home for that game. That's generally how it's done, although Clemson had a "grey out" last year for brain cancer awareness that (thankfully) didn't involve the team itself wearing grey uniforms.
It is right in the middle of PA… it’s not close to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. We were at this game!! It was awesome! Michigan got smoked and Harbaugh was whining and crying the whole time… classic
They only do the white out for certain games but college crowds are always that loud. Penn State is the 3rd most successful football team in the conference behind Ohio State and Michigan, so it's always a crazy atmosphere when any of those teams play each other because that's usually one of the most important games of the season for both teams. I've been to an Ohio State vs. Michigan game in Ohio and it stays that loud the whole game.
As a Penn State fan in America that follows FutBol i can sum this up as the yellow wall in broussia Dortmund also State College is in about northeastern Central Pennsylvania
So in college all the conferences are the same so Penn state, Michigan, Ohio state and Michigan state are all in the big ten with Iowa (the team that does the wave) wisconsin, and Nebraska
Per rules, the visiting team wears white. That said, a home team can make an agreement with the visiting team to change colors, but IIRC - The reason why PSU has the visiting team wearing white is so that their players got lost in the white background.
This helps the RV culture. Retired couples drive from game to game every week during football season, establishing their memories in tailgating and game engaging. This way, it is seasonal to RV
6:54 Michigan used a timeout due to players couldn't hear the quarterback. If he didn't use a timeout it would be delay of game on the offense and 1st and 15.
Just imagine all that chaos and energy for Penn St to have zero shot at winning a national championship. Its been 2 decades since they had a shot at a NC, 3 since they even got close to one (if there had been a playoff then they probably would have won) and 4 since they actually won one. College football fans really are crazy which is probably what makes it far more interesting than anything pro.
They dont base it on the team its the time , they want it to be a night game , they wanted it to be michigan this year but its in november and they dont play night games in november thats why its the iowa game
Penn State is almost directly in the center of PA
It’s only off by a few miles, I believe it’s somewhere around Bellefonte. It’s by design too they wanted the land grant state university right in the middle of the commonwealth.

Home field advantage is a real thing in college. Stadiums will go silent when the home team offense is on the field but go berzerk when the opposing offense is on the field.

It's actually in the dead center of the state, which is north east of Pittsburgh
@@patrickmcisaac3142 Thanks. I had a vapor lock lol. It is indeed NE of Pittsburgh.
The Pegulas who own the Buffalo sabres and Buffalo bills gave over 88 million to fund Penn state NCAA div 1 ice hockey and build the arena. Mr. Pegula a billionaire graduated from Penn State in 1973.
I was at that game. Best atmosphere I've ever experienced. Somehow it got even louder after they blew the whistle for the time out. And you're right it is only one White Out per season, not every game.
Pitt is in the south west, Philly is the south east, State College (Penn State) is close to the center. Most of the largest colleges have stadiums which are bigger than NFL stadiums because they're in areas without pro teams, so they literally are like the local NFL team. And so you know, the call and response is "WE ARE!!!".... "PENN STATE" .... which is rooted in lore as the teams answer to whether or not they should leave a black player - Wally Triplett behind when playing Miami a team that wouldn't let black players play. The team took a vote, and unanimously said "WE ARE ALL PENN STATE" which lost the "ALL" over time, and became our call and respond. It's also the LOUDEST stadium in the country, due to it's size and shape. ALSO Penn State - Pennsylvania State University, is NOT PENN - University of Pennsylvania. Penn is in Philly and was founded by Benjamin Franklin. One last thing... Penn State is one of the oldest teams playing football, the uniforms reflect this. There are no names, no helmet stickers, it's always been like that, because they're not individuals, they're ONE TEAM. You can count the teams on one hand who still embody that blue collar work ethic. Penn State, Alabama, to name two. And yes... the White out is ONE game a year. It's a nationally televised game, and is considered to be the most intimidating and toughest environment to play in.
Penn St doesn’t have white out at every home game but will do themes. They will do a game with blue and white stripes in the stands.
Iowa is playing in the White Out game in 2023
Don’t remind me 😂
So a kinda basic thing in American Football, Offense goes off of a snap count, auditory... Defense is supposed to move when they see the ball move. Not talking to the video makers, just anyone curious. So when the opposing team has the ball and the defense can look for visuals, and communicate by hand signals, it helps when the crowd is loud, if its your home crowd when you're on defense. can make the offense mishear snaps, plays etc...
Penn state usually were blue at home Michigan always where's white on the road
Penn Stater here. It is in the middle of the state in Centre County, PA. It's about midway between Philly and Pittsburgh. It's closest to the state capital, Harrisburg, about an hour and a half to the West of there.
Pennsylvania State University Beaver Stadium is in middle of Pennsylvania in town of State College (main campus). It is almost dead center in middle of state. (University of Pennsylvania is in Philadelphia & University of Pittsburgh is in Pittsburgh.) It is a 5 yard penalty for not snapping ball before 30-second clock expires. Penn State does "white outs" for most home games. It is University of Iowa Buckeyes stadium fans that wave to kids in nearby hospital.
Its in the middle of nowhere! Its a 150 miles east of Pittsburgh and 200 miles from Philadelphia. My daughter is starting her senior season in a two weeks. We are Penn State!!!!!
This coming season the white out is against Iowa.
My wife and I were at this year's whiteout game this past Saturday. All I can say is it is *exactly* like it comes off in this video, except you're right in the middle of 110,830 people shouting WE ARE PENN STATE. Go. Absolutely go. Also: what this video doesn't show is that the fans have a scoreboard charting yards lost and timeouts taken because of crowd noise.
White games are typically Saturday Night Home Games at Penn St and they’re about 2 games a season depending on schedule
What you heard was “Let me hear it” from someone on the speaker not “I can’t hear it” by the quarterback
A loud crowd is a huge advantage for the defense. It's a problem for the offense, and a situation like this will only make it worse.
Penn State is located in the town of State College, PA near the center of the state of Pennsylvania. Northwest of the Capitol Harrisburg. It has campuses around the state but the main campus is State College.
They called a timeout. You get 3 per half. Delay of game is a 5 yard penalty. The White out game is only one per year. This year it's against Iowa and it's always a night game usually the most important night game that year. Iowa waves at the kids hospital. Wisconsin has the "jump around" at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Penn State’s colors are blue and white they wear blue at home and white for away games. Penn State is in central Pennsylvania in the middle of nowhere what makes it even louder is the echo that bounces off the mountains coming back. It’s a small college town
Penn State University is west of Philadelphia, between Altoona and Harrisburg. There are campuses across the area.
Hey guys! Penn State is a ‘land grant’ college - the state gave the land to create the school in 1865 and in this case they drew lines from the NW corner of the state to the SE… and from the SW to the NE… and built the school in the center where the lines crossed.
And Penn State is its own town - University Park, & the City that has grown alongside the university is State College, where the restaurants and shops and businesses are.
There is a ticket purchase line, but the white out game is a tough get… but not impossible. I was offered a ticket for this year’s white out game with Iowa (Sept 24) which I had to turn down!
The main campus is located 3 hours 10 minutes west of Philadelphia and 2 hours 20 minutes east of Pittsburgh.
It's one thing to watch it on TV or on here, but a whole other monster to watch it in person. I should say feel or hear it in person. It's almost like feeling the bass in a car with a ridiculous sound system except with 110,000 people screaming in unison in an outdoor environment. You can feel it in your chest. I haven't experienced anything like it. You NEED to experience it.
It used to be a penalty against the home team if they did not quieten down after the ball was set. Thankfully they finally dropped that. Still, they were really pushing it in this clip. You are still not allowed to be playing audio/music/crowd noise amplified through microphones/basically any artificial noise through the PA system, after the ball is set.
Lovin' the college football fellas!!!
Penn State University's main campus is in State College, PA which is bang in the middle of the state but closer to Pittsburgh.
Usually these types of things are only one game, usually a big game. The University puts the shirts on every seat and the fans put them on when they get there
Penn St doesn't put out shirts for people for their whiteouts, all organic
Penn State doesn't have to put out shirts for this. Everyone knows which game is the white out one and everyone knows to wear white for that game.
Incorrect
Have lived in state college and am a penn state fan my whole life. I will tell you. You have to get to a penn state white out. It's by far the best atmosphere in college football.
Washington plays the White Out this year. What a proper introduction to Big 10 football.
It’s actually slightly closer to Pittsburgh but it’s basically in the center of the state
The blasting music while Michigan is on the ball is illegal. They can’t artificially increase crowd noise to influence the game. (Opposition ability to hear snap count, etc). Big Ten btw. I’m an Indiana University grad also from B10
Incorrect. You can play music until the players get set. Michigan OL wasn’t set, once they were the music stops immediately.
Penn State is located in State College, PA. The white out game is only once a year. This year's white out game is against Iowa.
It's in Central Pa. I live near Scranton and Penn State is a 3 hour drive from here.
You guys would like the Army/Navy game. Or watch Army at West Point.
I didn't realize the significance at the time, but I surely was there for the first white out games in 2004-2005. At first it was only the student section in white, but it looked so good on TV it spread to the whole crowd every year.
There is nothing like a Penn State white out game. The Atmosphere is tremendous. Other teams and their fans don't quite get it. Unless they are the opposing team in one.
It's not so much being the visiting team get intimidated by how loud it gets. It makes them unable to easily hear play calls and audibles at the line.
The Lion King theme song is playing because the Penn State team nickname (and mascot ) is the "Nittany Lions". The University emblem and mascot is the mountain lion.
Glad you showed this to your son I love when he gets hyped up lol but he ll enjoy his trip,to US
The 1980 Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott touchdown pass in the Georgia Bulldogs versus Florida Gators game was the most electrifying moment in college football history. That miraculous late-game pass saved Georgia's undefeated and championship season.
I CANT WAIT FOR FOOTBALL SEASON
I too, when I first heard of the Penn State whiteout, assumed that they wore white at home for that game. That's generally how it's done, although Clemson had a "grey out" last year for brain cancer awareness that (thankfully) didn't involve the team itself wearing grey uniforms.
It is right in the middle of PA… it’s not close to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. We were at this game!! It was awesome! Michigan got smoked and Harbaugh was whining and crying the whole time… classic
They only do the white out for certain games but college crowds are always that loud. Penn State is the 3rd most successful football team in the conference behind Ohio State and Michigan, so it's always a crazy atmosphere when any of those teams play each other because that's usually one of the most important games of the season for both teams. I've been to an Ohio State vs. Michigan game in Ohio and it stays that loud the whole game.
michigan hasnt won a bowl game in 20 years☠️
At Michigan State we stripe the stadium, which looks really good. We do it once a year
I was at this game!! It was insane!!! So pumped up
It’s 4-5 hours from Philly and Pittsburgh, in the middle of cowfields lol. I’ve been 4 times and pennstate is the best atmosphere of all time
Yea, when the speed limit was 55. The whole state can be crossed in under 6 hours on I80.
As a Penn State fan in America that follows FutBol i can sum this up as the yellow wall in broussia Dortmund also State College is in about northeastern Central Pennsylvania
So in college all the conferences are the same so Penn state, Michigan, Ohio state and Michigan state are all in the big ten with Iowa (the team that does the wave) wisconsin, and Nebraska
Per rules, the visiting team wears white. That said, a home team can make an agreement with the visiting team to change colors, but IIRC - The reason why PSU has the visiting team wearing white is so that their players got lost in the white background.
5:30 he kept pausing it right at the best part lmao. Drove me insane.
Bro me too how is no one commenting on that. Like bro stfu and watch the video
Happy valley is in the center of the state. We always welcome in new fans especially from Europe, a lot of European students
This helps the RV culture. Retired couples drive from game to game every week during football season, establishing their memories in tailgating and game engaging. This way, it is seasonal to RV
Centre County, PA. Right in the middle of the state
Im a die hard Michigan fan. But i gotta say. That is loud
I was there in the student section for my Senior year. Yes I can confirm it was indeed LOUD!!! WE ARE!
6:54 Michigan used a timeout due to players couldn't hear the quarterback. If he didn't use a timeout it would be delay of game on the offense and 1st and 15.
The 1 guy in red was probably event staff.
Just imagine all that chaos and energy for Penn St to have zero shot at winning a national championship. Its been 2 decades since they had a shot at a NC, 3 since they even got close to one (if there had been a playoff then they probably would have won) and 4 since they actually won one. College football fans really are crazy which is probably what makes it far more interesting than anything pro.
Yup it’s Iowa
daz you mentioned my hometown. Scranton , pa
Not sure where that came from 😂
@@officeblokedaz hahaha 😆 I was blown away by that answer!
whiteout switches for them every year between ohio state and michigan depending on which one is at oenn state that year
They dont base it on the team its the time , they want it to be a night game , they wanted it to be michigan this year but its in november and they dont play night games in november thats why its the iowa game
So, this channel only covers 4 o 5 sports and not all sports? just curious.
Do you know the largest football (soccer) stadium in all of Europe, would only be the 8th largest stadium for US college football?
Delay of game is 5 yards but I think Michigan got a timeout in before the penalty
