Updated 1:43 p.m. April 25
Penn State football will hold it’s annual Blue-White Game on Saturday, and with construction well underway on the Beaver Stadium renovation project, fans will find several changes in place.
The intrasquad game marking the culmination of spring practices will kick off at 2 p.m., and unlike in past years it will not be televised. Parking lots will open at 8 a.m., gates at noon and club and suite entrances at 12:30 p.m..
No seating or restrooms will be available on the west side of the stadium, where major construction is taking place, and fans can enter only through Gates A and E. Limited concession stands will be open between those gates.
