For my son's 13th B-Day we surprised him with tickets for the Penn State-Michigan State game. Talk about seeing a kid excited!!!! It was PRICELESS!!! He couldn't sleep for a week just thinking about it. Seeing Beaver stadium for the first time, all the tailgaters, the crazy fans all dressed in blue & white was truly a Memorex moment. Being a part of the 108,607 crazed fans was a memory that will last him a lifetime. Even my wife (a non-football fan) was taken in with all the excitement. It was a hell of a game with PS pulling out the win. The 4 hour trip was well worth it & he's already talking about going back next year. I'm in!!!

    Glad you enjoyed your time at PSU. Beaver Stadium is a great place to watch a game. However, I think that I was drunk at every game I ever saw there. I don't remember much:p

    I would love to go to a college football game in one of the more fanatic football conferences. I have friends that say Big 10 games are just insane.

    Glad you had a good time. Big Ten football is great! I'd love to experience an SEC game sometime.

    You should have seen campus at the Ohio State vs. Michigan game this weekend. Talk about insane! :eek:

    I heard all weekend that there were 105,000+ in the stadium and another 150,000+ on campus for partying. Luckily my parents had a hotel room at one of the popular tailgate's otherwise the line to the porta-johns was 30-45 minutes long. That doesn't cut it when you're drinking beer all day. :eek:

    I've heard thtat Penn State games are a lot of fun. I was lucky in that I had season tickets for the years I went to LSU. SEC football is hard to beat, especially in Tiger Stadium AKA Death Valley.

    Penn State - Michigan State game tickets = $200
    Tailgating with 108,607 crazed fans = Fun
    Penn State pulling out a win = Great

    Gratefull Child = Priceless

    Phil,

    Sounds to me like things went way better than expected. I'm very glad you and the crew had a great time.

    Neyland Stadium at UT is pretty crazy.
