Beaver Stadium Hits Major Construction Milestone

Beaver Stadium just hit a major milestone with the “topping out” ceremony — the final steel beam is up on its new 195-foot structure, signaling the peak of construction and setting the stage for completion by the 2027 football season. This isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a full-scale overhaul that’s tearing down old sections like the press box and upper deck to deliver a dramatically upgraded fan experience and boost revenue for all 31 Penn State athletic programs. Big-name donors including the West Shore Home company and the Werzyn family have already pledged major gifts, with the field officially named West Shore Home Field through 2039. Construction is moving fast — over 750,000 labor hours, 6,200 tons of steel, and nearly 12,000 cubic yards of concrete already poured — with deep foundations drilled 50-80 feet to bedrock. Game-day disruptions will be minimized, with parking and tailgating largely unaffected, though some off-season tweaks may occur. Fans and the community are kept in the loop as this historic transformation unfolds. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
