Hey Paternoville campers! That comfortable pad of concrete you all sleep on just got a little more cozy. Construction crews have been hard at work tearing down the former Gate A in order to rebuild a more crowd-friendly entry gate in time for the September 4 kickoff versus Youngstown State.
Penn State students bought more season tickets in 2010 than any other school in the nation, so crowd flow and safety is a major concern.
