Penn State Nittany Lions Football Tickets

The Penn State Nittany Lions football program is among the oldest in the nation. The team first played in 1887. With a record of 887–391–42 and a Bowl record of 29–18–2, it is no surprise that fans, alumni and current Penn State students continue to loyally support the program. Football did not have all the rules, statistics and regulations of the modern era, so there is some dispute as to whether games from 1881 to 1886 were officially played. Regardless, the team ranks No.8 among teams for most wins. Through 1992, the program played in the Independent League. It joined the Big Ten Conference in 1993. The team has made 48 appearances in college bowl games and boasts several titles in its division and conference. Home games take place at Beaver Stadium on the Penn State campus. Most recently, the team won the Fiesta Bowl in 2017. The program counts Lenny Moore and Jack Ham as two Pro Football Halls of Fame inductees. The annual game against Michigan State is one of the most anticipated of the season. Grab your Nittany Lions Football tickets at StubHub.
