One thing I thing that may have slipped you guys was the play that was shown. The Michigan team couldn't get their play off before the play clock ran out because they literally couldn't communicate and hear each other due to the crowd. That situation on the first play of the game is absolutely insane.
You can't truly appreciate a Penn State White Out until you experience it in person. The stadium is literally ROCKING. Sitting in the elevated seating sections, you can feel the entire section bouncing. It's crazy! It's so loud you cant talk to the person beside you. I literally had to text my son in order to communicate!!
Penn State is expected to have 110,000 fans this Saturday for this years White Out. If you want to go to loud stadiums, I recommend this one in the video, Beaver Stadium and on a pro level, definitely Arrowhead Stadium (The Chiefs home). Your ears will be ringing for a month when you come home from one of these Stadiums!
@@davidcooley275 Yeah, they suck so much that they are ranked in the top 10 in the country. Go back to your Mom's basement kiddo and try to come up with something intelligent to say.
At a college football game you get a mix of people…there is a student section with lower ticket prices (some places free). Then you have fans who graduated from the university. Then you have people from around region who love football. Oh, and the football is just part of the day…the tailgating is a unique experience at a pro or college game you guys need to take in, if you get to a game.
Wisconsin’s jump around is great. It happens as they start the last quarter of the game. The thing about the whiteout is that they keep this energy going throughout the entire game. It’s absurd. Michigan had to call a timeout on literally the first play of the game here because they couldn’t make adjustments. And the noise never stops. The intro isn’t what’s impressive. It’s the entire game and the energy throughout that’s impressive.
Just went to the PSU vs Auburn White out and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. 110,000 people screaming at the top of their lungs. It's deafening. It's hard to hear in the videos bc it's so loud but when each song comes on everyone is singing it. It's easily the most electric atmosphere in college football
Oddly, Keegan-Michael Key is a Penn State graduate and looks very much like the football team's head coach. The coach actually had Key come in to a pre-practice meeting one time dressed as the head coach. The players went nuts. You can find it on RUclips.
Here in the US, your college is a part of you forever. Although I live in PA, I didn't go to Penn State and have no ties to them. Of course, most of us have been to a Penn State game and had a great time. As you have seen how big and important college football is to us, Penn State also has the most alumni in the US. No matter what state you are in, you will find someone with ties to PSU.
I think the point of this clip is really to show how loud it is. You don't see delay of game with 15:00 1st on the clock because of the noise too often.
I think the Lion King thing is because they’re the Nittany Lions? I live in Auburn AL and it gets CRAZY here during game day weekends. The motor homes roll in on Thursday and it’s just Animal House until Sunday here lol. It’s a mix of actual students, alumni of EVERY age, and locals.
The best way I can sum this up for you guys is that the Pro level is more a city vibe. College is family. You'll have parents who have attended the university, maybe with kids on the team, or the band, or what-not. Then you have the student body with friends on the team, or just supporting their alma mater. College football is MUCH more emotional than the NFL. It's because it's family. My 2 cents. I'll just add, a lot of the states don't have local pro teams. But EVERYONE has a state college team. More than one in most cases. I grew up in North Alabama. No pro teams within 200 miles. Then the Titans came along. Yeah.
On any given game day in Happy Valley, Beaver Stadium becomes the 3rd largest city in Pennsylvania. You have 110,000 people inside and another 25 or 30 thousand outside, cheering on the team. The atmosphere is like a gigantic family reunion. And it's an all-day event. We usually roll in about 9 or 10 in the morning, set up our spot, and begin the festivities. Everyone is sharing food, adult beverages, shooting the breeze, laughing, and having a grand ole time. Tailgating at Penn State (my alma mater) is an experience of its own. The game is great, and when you have 130,000 people making noise and cheering, you have to be there in person to fully appreciate the energy level and excitement. Even with that many people partying all day, it's still safe enough to bring your little kids with you. Everyone should experience a White Out game once in their life. It's...for lack of a better word...electric.
I live in Texas and went to Penn State -- State College is a University town so it's mostly students, alumni and townies. Best part outside of the game is tailgating, so if you go, go there way early. People are super friendly and so, so much good food and all are welcomed!
I graduated from Penn State in the late 80's and we were brutally loud then, but that was before the white-out. The white-out was invented around 2002 when the team went through a few years of poor play. The marketing team wanted to pump up interest in the team and realized that everyone has a white t-shirt and a legend was born. They do the white out one game per year and it is among the most intimidating, loudest atmospheres you can imagine at a sporting event. A thing of beauty. Now, if Coach Franklin can just figure out to make half-time adjustments maybe we can make play for a national championship again.
penn state is electric all day on football days, from the dorms, to the tailgate, to pregame. That place is loud the whole day, was fortunate enough to visit some friends who went there and its really an incredible thing to see and be apart of as long as you support psu haha
Local news from Harrisburg PA stated over 110,000 attended PSU White Out. They also recorded a decimal reading of 115 on the noise. PSU won over Auburn 28 to 21...
I grew up in Altoona (a city nearby this stadium) and our high school mascot is the mountain lion, the same animal as Penn State's mascot. During my senior year, I became the mascot. One evening I was invited to a country club to "fill in" for the Penn State mascot as that person couldn't make it to the event. I got to meet some very high level people on the board of Penn State. It was certainly an interesting experience.
Not a fan of either team, but as someone who loves college football this gave me goosebumps! So cool! I love how is Americans LOVE our college football!
For any folk wondering why Americans tend to be loud it's cause we do crazy loud shit like this back home 😭 After going to a football game or fourth of July celebration you won't be able to hear for a fat sec😂 Being quiet can make other Americans think you're either suspicious ( hence people saying "it's always the quiet ones" when a shooting or bombing happens) or they'll think you're shy 😂 When I came back home after spending a semester in Switzerland I definitely realized what my foreign friends meant by saying us Americans can be usually considered loud🤣
Penn State mascot is the Nittany Lions, so the Lion King song could make sense. lol. I went to a Whiteout game once and it's insane. Edit: Yall should react to Virginia Tech's entrance
As a football player myself, I can only imagine the absolute insanity that takes over your entire being getting ready to fly out of that tunnel ... im ready to bash my head against the wall just watching this
You guys should take a look at Michigan's "Maize Out" that just happened this past week, the crowd gets insane and just seeing a wave of 110,000 people all wearing bright yellow gets me hype anyday of the week!
The Offense in football needs to communicate a good amount to adjust for the Defense and to know the signal to snap the ball When you have a really good home team, they get Super loud when they are on Defense, and Super quiet when they are on Offense The contrast can be shocking to witness in person
Unless you go to see my hometown college play. We may have had a couple of heisman winners, but the fans are still a long way away from being big football fans and they do not understand this concept of being loud on defense and quiet on offense lol
The stadium is so loud that the science building a mile down the road is on ball bearings because the noise was actually shaking the builing and messing up their experiments.
I think what a lot of people either non-sports fans or outside the US don’t realize is that college football games continuously attract the largest crowds of any sporting event in the world. There are 8 stadiums in college football that are attended by over 100,000 people each on a weekly basis during the fall. These sized crowds are routine. The atmosphere here is absolutely electric but just thinking about how many people go to college football games every week is mind blowing
i was at that game lol, my profile pic is from that game actually. It was so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. Being in the student section was an experience I will never forget. We had our white out game against auburn in September. IT WAS AMAZING. Nearly 110,000 fans, it was unbelievable.
All ages at college games! In fact, a lot of the crowd is probably not students, but rather alumni, families, locals, etc. there are some tickets and box seats that no college student could afford 😂 college football is where the “tribal” mentality is in the US for sure
I agree. There are a few exceptions with the big name schools like Alabama and ohio state where they are a brand name themselves, but its like that with the clubs overseas too
I was at this game, 3 rows back in the end zone. I’ve been to countless sporting events over the years, and that night was the loudest crowd I’ve ever heard.
To really get the full effect of the white out you really have to be there in person. I'm not a penn state fan I am an ohio state buckeyes fan and have been there during the white out games they do against the buckeyes.
It's VERY tribal. College teams pull fans from the entire region, students, ex-students, and never-students. It's the NFL teams that are more likely to pull fans from distant areas of the country though college teams do that to some degree. Notre Dame is the perfect example. It's the premier catholic school, so it's fans are everywhere, and it has it's own contract with one of the major television networks. Probably the most popular college team in New York even though it's nowhere near there.
Interesting that I saw this today. I live an hour from State College PA. This coming wknd is the 2021 White Out game.... PSU was once one of the best teams out there.
There’s a section that you can see in the stadium (right around the S-Zone (which is where that dark blue S is within the white in the one end zone)) & basically all the pure white you see around there are the students. This is because the students have little white poms to shake & I don’t think they’re available for the other people in attendance (though some have them from previous games or probably find them on the ground)
The videos of these crowds really don't do justice for how loud it really is, because professional microphones are so good at noise isolation, and cellphone microphones can only pickup so much. I was actually at this game, it was unbelievably loud. That part at the end during Michigan's first down of the game, the entire stadium was vibrating from the noise alone. It was like standing next to a jet, so loud that you can't even make out the noise, it's just becomes indistinct loud noise.
Nothing like being there for a big time college game. It is electric. Dave the song is one they use because Penn State is The Nittany Lions. There are seats for the home team students and the visiting students (how many depends on how far the travel is. Then the alumni and area football fans.
Our version of Jump Around is Sweet Caroline during the second half... This was before the game even started so of course nobody is jumping around, but you have to consider that its the loud and energetic before the team has even run out
Other than everyone wearing white...I don't get it. Even the music transitions are awkward and abrupt. The cameraman definitely didn't help. He was just focusing on certain areas for no reason for an extended period of time.
try and go to a night game when you visit the USA, the atmosphere is so much more exciting and intense. There's just something about playing under the lights
The crowd was so loud that the Michigan team could not hear their call signals for the play. This would force them to take a foul for exceeding 30 seconds for the play or use one of their 3 timeouts to regroup
The White Out is the biggest and loudest game of the year. As a Penn State fan it is my dream to go to one! I’ve been to several other games and the atmosphere is amazing!
When it comes to the fan base and who they actually are in college stadiums. First it's the students, ex student alumni, & faculty of the school. Then the people who live in the state and in the local area who didn't go there to school, but that's their team they'll religiously support, the working class. Which in most cases is a fan base far bigger than the student/alumni base. In this video of PSU you have everything from student/alumni, to farmers, coal miner's, steel workers, blue collar, white collar, medical professionals, military/ ex military, tradesmen, craftsmen, retirees, hooligan's, shenanigan's, ethnic/ religious backgrounds of every sort. They have an enormous fan base. They've been around a long time and people are born into it. In America you don't get to choose what team you're a fan of, your parents will do that for you. Which is good, because there's so many choices, you wouldn't want any Blasphemy of family strife.
Been a part of jump around, good times. I also had season tickets to the Vikings when Favre was here and got nuts but the absolute loudest stadium I've ever been in my life was at the game 163 winning hit in the metrodome. The entire season was on the line and it went insane
Sometimes a smaller stadium will be more lively. Wisconsin (about 85k I think) can be more animated. But I think this is building to something a little more than the first of the video. 7:24 It is the Lion King. The Penn State Nittany Lions. 10:21 All sorts of people go to college games. You might even try some of the top level high school games. Really cheap to get in & some of those teams are really good too. 10:44 No they aren't as tribal. You will get ribbed by the home team of course.
No matter how many Brits or New Zealanders I see watch this. None of them seem to catch that Michigan was penalized for delay of game because the play clock ran out because they literally couldn't hear the QB's voice.
If you want to see Penn State at the fullest, watch this video on the White Out night at Penn State in 2016 vs Ohio State ruclips.net/video/0stBdEAHqKA/видео.html
Wisconsin is fun for one song. Penn state is the whole game. It’s so much wilder in person. I was at that game and I couldn’t talk for three days from screaming. There is nothing like it anywhere else.
I’ve been a psu fan all my life whenever its the weekend of whiteout EVERYONE knows to wear white and get ready to a part of one of the college college football traditions
The lion king was because they’re called the nitanny lions… this originates from the mountain lions that used to roam mount nitanny (a historical mountain overlooking the campus).
At the end of the video you could see Michigan having to call a time out before the first snap of the game. It was so loud the entire offensive line couldn’t hear the quarterback trying to hike the ball
Jump Around is truly awesome! Penn State student section does similar things, but this video is different. It's just the wire cam footage from the ESPN camera during the beginning of the game. It wasn't showing one thing like jump around. It just shows the noise and size of the white out environment. And yes, it's loud. Your ears actually hurt. 110,000 people screaming.
The jump around is is a couple of minutes of madness, but the Penn State experience is the whole game long event. you have to watch them singing Sweet Caroline, plus the volume of noise and PS is second to none.
If 110k people losing their minds, and being so loud that the opposing team can't get the opening play off isn't enough to impress you, then I don't know what to tell you.
You Guys should totally add closed captions to your videos!! We love watching here in America but sometimes it’s very hard to hear your commentary! Sending love from America!!!🧡
This is not really a great video of the opening of a Penn State game. The crowd is insane. Its 3+hours of choreographed madness. It's also the greatest show in all of sports. Jump Around is only 3 minutes. There is really nothing like a PSU whiteout.
Beaver Stadium (Penn State’s home field) is the second biggest stadium in the US, only behind Michigan Stadium. It has a capacity of over 107,000, but for games like this one, they can get over 110,000 in there. I finally got the chance to go to a game 2 years ago, and the atmosphere there was like very few games I’d been to before. This video doesn’t really do it justice, it must be experienced in person.
There was close to 111k fans there. The people there were current students, alumni and fans. It’s actually the 3rd largest population on saturdays in PA. I was at the game- it was louder. The songs are usually 30 seconds longs and it really hyped the crowd. A full song is not the way to do it and they do this at majority of the stadiums. In regards to Wisconsin- this is so much better than Wisconsin. Teams fear playing in this atmosphere. It’s not like anything you have been too. It’s an experience everyone must go to.
With college sports - a lot of it has to do with family - several generations of the same family will attend the same school, & family members will turn out to watch the games, whether they have a member on the team or not. But if folks do have kids on the team, you better believe they'll turn out to watch 'em play, every single time. As well as people who went to the school & might not have kids but still want to support their alma mater.
The University of Florida, located in Gainesville Florida was home to the one and only Tom Petty. Between the third and fourth quarter of the game, is has been the tradition to sing “we are the boys..”. But after Petty’s death in 2017, the school began another tradition. Following the singing of ‘we are the boys” at every home game, fans sing “I won’t back down” in honor of their hometown hero. The song on its own is legendary, but to hear it sung by 90,000 screaming Gators is really something special. ruclips.net/video/0mddLajyNYc/видео.html
Besides alumni of all ages, these big universities, some which, are in relatively small cities are probably a big employer for a lot of people! They’ll have backers all over town that rarely actually go to the games.

Exactly and the decibel meter was in the 130's from the crowd that evening
defintely did lol
It’s insane to get the away team to call a timeout cause they cant hear themselves. It has to be ridiculously loud to get to that point
Okay and Washington couldnt hear on the first play of the game and had a delay of game at THE BIG HOUSE

Oh…. If I was really really intoxicated the hype would make sense…
This is the benefit of playing on your home field. The fans were so loud that the opposing team couldn't hear the snap count, resulting in a lost down
That's actually backfired though. It was years ago but the refs came out to tell the stadium to quiet down. Random note lol

It's the premier catholic school, so it's fans are everywhere, and it has it's own contract with one of the major television networks. Probably the most popular college team in New York even though it's nowhere near there.
That Phil Collins song in the air tonight, turn it all the way up when the drums r coming and it sounds so good
Nothing like the Penn State white out! I went to OSU but my lord that atmosphere was infectious
Welcome back, Mike!
Interesting that I saw this today. I live an hour from State College PA. This coming wknd is the 2021 White Out game.... PSU was once one of the best teams out there.
There’s a section that you can see in the stadium (right around the S-Zone (which is where that dark blue S is within the white in the one end zone)) & basically all the pure white you see around there are the students. This is because the students have little white poms to shake & I don’t think they’re available for the other people in attendance (though some have them from previous games or probably find them on the ground)
The videos of these crowds really don't do justice for how loud it really is, because professional microphones are so good at noise isolation, and cellphone microphones can only pickup so much. I was actually at this game, it was unbelievably loud. That part at the end during Michigan's first down of the game, the entire stadium was vibrating from the noise alone. It was like standing next to a jet, so loud that you can't even make out the noise, it's just becomes indistinct loud noise.
And let’s not forget these players are still kids from 17 years old to 22ish
110,000 people . Loudest game I ever went to lol
Nothing like being there for a big time college game. It is electric. Dave the song is one they use because Penn State is The Nittany Lions. There are seats for the home team students and the visiting students (how many depends on how far the travel is. Then the alumni and area football fans.
This is the raw feed from the ESPN sky cam before the game. It doesn’t have the commentary just raw atmosphere.
The stadium literally shakes during a white out game It is the BEST
Our version of Jump Around is Sweet Caroline during the second half... This was before the game even started so of course nobody is jumping around, but you have to consider that its the loud and energetic before the team has even run out
Other than everyone wearing white...I don't get it. Even the music transitions are awkward and abrupt. The cameraman definitely didn't help. He was just focusing on certain areas for no reason for an extended period of time.
Totally agree
They are named for William Penn, born in London, buried in Jordan, Bucks. England.
Dave's story about his granddad & son was brilliant. :)
Wow no blabbering through the video like everyone else, this was so nice.
try and go to a night game when you visit the USA, the atmosphere is so much more exciting and intense. There's just something about playing under the lights
For anyone wondering how loud it actually is in person, turn your phone volume to max and hold it about 1 in away from your ear.
Penn State are known as the Nittany Lions… a colloquial name for a mountain lion or cougar… hence the Lion King.
The crowd was so loud that the Michigan team could not hear their call signals for the play. This would force them to take a foul for exceeding 30 seconds for the play or use one of their 3 timeouts to regroup
GUESS WHO’S BACK
MIKE IS BACK
The White Out is the biggest and loudest game of the year. As a Penn State fan it is my dream to go to one! I’ve been to several other games and the atmosphere is amazing!
Fun fact, Penn State is doing another White Out this weekend!
When it comes to the fan base and who they actually are in college stadiums. First it's the students, ex student alumni, & faculty of the school. Then the people who live in the state and in the local area who didn't go there to school, but that's their team they'll religiously support, the working class. Which in most cases is a fan base far bigger than the student/alumni base. In this video of PSU you have everything from student/alumni, to farmers, coal miner's, steel workers, blue collar, white collar, medical professionals, military/ ex military, tradesmen, craftsmen, retirees, hooligan's, shenanigan's, ethnic/ religious backgrounds of every sort. They have an enormous fan base. They've been around a long time and people are born into it. In America you don't get to choose what team you're a fan of, your parents will do that for you. Which is good, because there's so many choices, you wouldn't want any Blasphemy of family strife.
WVU games have a great atmosphere. Best I have ever experienced. Lets Go! Mountaineers!
You boys should react to some fan stuff in the big house! Nothing like watching 114,000 people all in unison
Quietest 114,000 people you will ever not hear.
@@johneaston197 I mean you’re not wrong, idk I just want to hear them say “oh my lord look at all those people”
Been a part of jump around, good times. I also had season tickets to the Vikings when Favre was here and got nuts but the absolute loudest stadium I've ever been in my life was at the game 163 winning hit in the metrodome. The entire season was on the line and it went insane
Sometimes a smaller stadium will be more lively. Wisconsin (about 85k I think) can be more animated. But I think this is building to something a little more than the first of the video. 7:24 It is the Lion King. The Penn State Nittany Lions. 10:21 All sorts of people go to college games. You might even try some of the top level high school games. Really cheap to get in & some of those teams are really good too. 10:44 No they aren't as tribal. You will get ribbed by the home team of course.
Penn State's mascot is the Nittany Lion. They also play a lion's growl over the speakers during the game.
No matter how many Brits or New Zealanders I see watch this. None of them seem to catch that Michigan was penalized for delay of game because the play clock ran out because they literally couldn't hear the QB's voice.
If you want to see Penn State at the fullest, watch this video on the White Out night at Penn State in 2016 vs Ohio State

Wisconsin is fun for one song. Penn state is the whole game. It’s so much wilder in person. I was at that game and I couldn’t talk for three days from screaming. There is nothing like it anywhere else.
I’ve been a psu fan all my life whenever its the weekend of whiteout EVERYONE knows to wear white and get ready to a part of one of the college college football traditions
Beaver stadium is the 4th largest stadium in the world. I was at the game where we set the attendance record for Beaver Stadium 110,889.
The lion king was because they’re called the nitanny lions… this originates from the mountain lions that used to roam mount nitanny (a historical mountain overlooking the campus).
At the end of the video you could see Michigan having to call a time out before the first snap of the game. It was so loud the entire offensive line couldn’t hear the quarterback trying to hike the ball
At that game 110,000 of my closest friends
The crowd noise forced time outs
Jump Around is truly awesome! Penn State student section does similar things, but this video is different. It's just the wire cam footage from the ESPN camera during the beginning of the game. It wasn't showing one thing like jump around. It just shows the noise and size of the white out environment. And yes, it's loud. Your ears actually hurt. 110,000 people screaming.
The jump around is is a couple of minutes of madness, but the Penn State experience is the whole game long event. you have to watch them singing Sweet Caroline, plus the volume of noise and PS is second to none.
welcome back Mike
The Rose Bowl Game is nuts just the whole process. I live 5 minutes from there and it is insane.
If 110k people losing their minds, and being so loud that the opposing team can't get the opening play off isn't enough to impress you, then I don't know what to tell you.
You Guys should totally add closed captions to your videos!! We love watching here in America but sometimes it’s very hard to hear your commentary! Sending love from America!!!🧡
This is not really a great video of the opening of a Penn State game. The crowd is insane. Its 3+hours of choreographed madness. It's also the greatest show in all of sports. Jump Around is only 3 minutes.
There is really nothing like a PSU whiteout.
Beaver Stadium (Penn State’s home field) is the second biggest stadium in the US, only behind Michigan Stadium. It has a capacity of over 107,000, but for games like this one, they can get over 110,000 in there. I finally got the chance to go to a game 2 years ago, and the atmosphere there was like very few games I’d been to before. This video doesn’t really do it justice, it must be experienced in person.
It’s the college’s nickname the Nittany Lions as you heard the roar of the Lion they use this song from lion king
the lion king is played because the mascot is a lion, Nittany Lion to be exact. named after the legend of Princess Nita-nee
The Lion King starts out "Penn-sylvania!"
There was close to 111k fans there. The people there were current students, alumni and fans. It’s actually the 3rd largest population on saturdays in PA.
I was at the game- it was louder. The songs are usually 30 seconds longs and it really hyped the crowd. A full song is not the way to do it and they do this at majority of the stadiums.
In regards to Wisconsin- this is so much better than Wisconsin. Teams fear playing in this atmosphere. It’s not like anything you have been too. It’s an experience everyone must go to.
Penn State is in a small town named Happy Valley - it’s really just the University in the town - a cold area in Pennsylvania but nice people
Who's the new (old) guy in the middle?
@@aj897 I think he was joking haha
@@aj897 I see you understand sarcasm very well
@@aj897 Stand up son, they're going over your head. Lol
With college sports - a lot of it has to do with family - several generations of the same family will attend the same school, & family members will turn out to watch the games, whether they have a member on the team or not. But if folks do have kids on the team, you better believe they'll turn out to watch 'em play, every single time. As well as people who went to the school & might not have kids but still want to support their alma mater.
There is a camera that is on wires that they can move over the field and that is how you can get those kinds of shots.
The University of Florida, located in Gainesville Florida was home to the one and only Tom Petty. Between the third and fourth quarter of the game, is has been the tradition to sing “we are the boys..”. But after Petty’s death in 2017, the school began another tradition. Following the singing of ‘we are the boys” at every home game, fans sing “I won’t back down” in honor of their hometown hero. The song on its own is legendary, but to hear it sung by 90,000 screaming Gators is really something special.

Besides alumni of all ages, these big universities, some which, are in relatively small cities are probably a big employer for a lot of people! They’ll have backers all over town that rarely actually go to the games.
Welcome home, Mike! I hope all is well.
