Penn State Board Of Trustees to discuss Beaver Stadium naming rights

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (WTAJ) — Penn State’s Board Of Trustees has scheduled a meeting on Monday March 10 for a Proposed Recommendation from the Facilities and Academic Unit Naming Committee. It should be noted that this is the only item on the agenda.

According to reports the discussion will be about naming rights to Beaver Stadium, Penn State football’s home since 1960. Beaver Stadium is currently going through a $700 million renovation project, which began this offseason. Back in January the most notable portion of the renovation happened with the demolition of the press box.

Athletic Director Pat Kraft spoke with the media back in February and gave an update on the progress of the renovation project.

“I feel really good, though, where we are. We put out the renderings we showed you kind of where we are in the progress fundraising has been awesome,” said Kraft. “I feel really excited about that. What will it look like? So, we’ll have temp seating. If I were to give you an example of kind of, think of Northwestern a little bit, how they built that stadium on the lake, or if you go to the Waste Management Open, they built that stadium around 16, like, those are the folks that are doing the production.”

The university has received more than $70 million in donations towards the renovation project. Construction is still ongoing and is projected to be done in time for the 2027 season.
