Last week, we asked to hear about the most unique places you have watched a Penn State football game from. It was obvious that no matter the circumstances, fans of the Nittany Lions would never miss seeing the blue and white in action.

From the delivery room to the streets of Italy, here are some of our favorite submissions.

Mallory Feller

Feller did not let her trip to Florence, Italy, disrupt her plans to watch the Nittany Lions. The iconic Duomo backed by a stellar sunset wasn’t enough to avert her eyes from some good old Penn State football.

Jenny J.

Jenny was “deep in enemy territory” in 2021, watching the Penn State vs. Ohio State game at a Twenty One Pilots concert at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Lead singer Tyler Joseph attended Ohio State and displayed the game for the crowd. Jenny and her now husband stood tall and represented the Nittany Lions at a very unique concert and football watch party crossover.

Rachel Holena

In fall 2016, Holena was student teaching in Australia, requiring her to investigate new ways to watch Penn State football. After watching games at bars for most of the season, the Big Ten Championship was inaccessible to view due to a trip she took to Mount Kosciuszko.

Since the game wasn’t available abroad, Holena and her fellow student teacher Ashley found a website that mimicked play-by-play commentary on the field while simultaneously listening to the radio broadcast. The group came across a roadside attraction called the Big Merino, where Holena watched the Nittany Lions become Big Ten champs.

Kristin Dietz

Another trip to an iconic European tourist site showed Dietz and her husband, both class of 2014 alumni, enjoying the Colosseum (the real one) on their honeymoon in 2016. Dietz streamed the game against Minnesota from their rental apartment. The game went into overtime and made for an extremely late Italian night for the couple, but they stayed up to watch Penn State take home the win. Sleep never stops the pure love of the game.

Andrew Markowitz

Markowitz was in Jerusalem with Penn State Hillel for the Rose Bowl against USC in 2017. Despite trying to power through the 11 p.m. start time, he succumbed to drowsiness around 2 a.m. and fell asleep, confident the Nittany Lions would hold onto their 49-35 lead.

“Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I woke up and realized we did not, in fact, have it in the bag,” Markowitz said.

Vince Gray

Gray welcomed his daughter into the world at Mount Nittany Medical Center in 2020, a day before the game against Ohio State. Although there were no fans in the stands due to COVID, Vince and his family watched the game on TV and admired Beaver Stadium from afar for his daughter’s first Penn State football game.

Shivoy Nagpaul

What’s better than traveling across the country with your buddies to witness a Penn State masterclass in enemy territory?

That’s exactly what current student Shivoy Nagpaul did, making the trip to Los Angeles in the middle of the semester to see the Nittany Lions take down USC in a thriller. Nagpaul stunned Penn State alumni who couldn’t fathom that a student traveled 3,000 miles to watch the game.

“It’s an experience I’ll never forget,” Nagpaul said.
