The greatest show in college sports is almost here, folks.

With the weekend quickly approaching, crowds of students, alumni, and fans will be gathering in Happy Valley to witness the famous White Out game as the Nittany Lions take on the Oregon Ducks.

Although the teams face off in Beaver Stadium, the Ducks decided to stay nearly 44 miles south of State College in Altoona, Pa, at the Blair County Convention Center.

As the Ducks flock their way to Altoona for the big game, they may find themselves diving into the culture of a Pennsylvania town. To give the team some ideas on how to make the most of their stay, we’ve compiled a list of things the Ducks can do during their visit to Altoona.

Have The Oregon Duck Quack Around with Penn State Altoona Ducks

All around Penn State Altoona’s campus, you’ll find ducks waddling around and acting like they own the campus. To feel more at home and blend in, the Oregon Duck can join the flock and discover what it’s like to be a Penn Stater.

Have an Altoona-Style Pizza Eating Contest

Altoona-style pizza is Sicilian-style pizza topped with tomato sauce, salami, green bell peppers, and slices of yellow American cheese. To get a true taste of Altoona, the Ducks can head to a local pizza place to face off in an eating competition to see who can eat the most slices. They’ll want to be well-fueled for the big game, and this pizza may or may not do just that.

Take a Hike: Waddle Style

One of the best things about Altoona and the surrounding areas is the scenery and beautiful colors during fall, and what better way to enjoy the view than going for a hike? But not just any hike, a hike that only involves waddling. This is a great opportunity to see Pennsylvania for its beauty and to embrace being an Oregon Duck rather than a sitting duck.  

Jump In the Puddles

For the past few weeks, Altoona and its surrounding areas have experienced warm weather and no rain. However, the forecast for the big game and the days leading up to it predicts a chance of rain. If Mother Nature decides to cry tears of joy thinking about Penn State winning the game, then the Oregon Ducks can waddle their way outside and jump through some puddles for good luck.     

Try To Quack Louder Than the Trains

Altoona is best known for its history in the railroad industry, as trains constantly pass through the area. To pass time and bond as a team, Oregon and the Oregon Duck can take turns making quacking sounds as the trains go by to see who can quack the loudest. Not only will this give them something to do, but it will also expose them to a small fraction of the noise that they will hear from the electrifying crowd in Beaver Stadium.
