Beaver Stadium concession stands will sell Berkey Creamery ice cream for the first time this football season, Penn State announced on Monday.
Six flavors — vanilla, chocolate, Death by Chocolate, cookies ‘n cream, chocolate chip cookie dough and Peachy Paterno — will be sold by the pint beginning with the Sept. 2 opener against Akron.
Creamery ice cream previously had been available in the stadium only in the Mount Nittany Club and suites.
“We get a lot of people asking whether they can buy ice cream at our stands, and until now, we’ve always had to tell them to just go to the Creamery,” said Penn State athletics concessions manager Eric Ebeling in a release.
Cones will still require a trip to the Creamery, but the pint sales in the stadium will benefit those who make the trip on game day and aren’t able to get over to the Food Science Building or don’t have time to wait in line.
‘It’s sort of a tradition to stand in that line,’ Jim Brown, assistant manager of the Creamery said. ‘But not everyone has the time or wants to do that for every football game. So we’re hoping that this will mean that everyone who wants our ice cream can get it every time they come to campus.’
The Creamery plans to expand the number of flavors available to 25 by next spring.
