UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (WHTM) – Construction is underway at Beaver Stadium with a new Nittany Lion statute teaser for fans.
Penn State Athletics released an update on the $700 million construction project that showed a large section of bleachers removed and a crane lifting materials into the stadium.
A new Nittany Lion statue that appears to be mounted onto a weathervane was also shared with fans. It’s not clear where the new Nittany Lion will be installed, however crews are working on installing new video boards for the 2024 season.
Construction at the stadium began last week with plans to improve the stadium’s East side and end zones. Those projects are expected to be ready for the 2024 season, including the expansion of Gates A and E, enhancements of Gate F, and video board improvements in the South end zone.
The program says all gates, the video board, and the ribbon video boards will be unveiled in time for the football season. Escalators and super ribbon boards will be unveiled during the 2024 home season.
The full project is expected to be completed before the 2027 football season.
Penn State will open its home season schedule on August 31 against West Virginia.
