So it’s Friday night in State College, the first weekend where all the students are back for the fall semester. Usually around this time, the attention shifts to Penn State football and the upcoming season opener. The anticipation of a new season intertwined with an expected victory from the student body.
But something’s different this year. Beaver Stadium will sit quiet this last Saturday in August.
The football season doesn’t start until Sept. 5., and women’s soccer is the only athletic team to compete in State College this weekend.
So what is the sports fan in Happy Valley to do this weekend?
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a Short Season-A Minor League team that plays across the street from Beaver Stadium. This squad could be playing its biggest series in franchise history this weekend against its arch rivals from down Interstate 80.
And if you feel the need to fill the athletic void this weekend, the State College Spikes could be worth your time.
