Bag policy 

Only clear vinyl, clear plastic, or clear PVC bags are allowed in the venue. These bags must not be larger than twelve inches by six inches by twelve inches.

Those who have childcare, dietary, or medical needs are permitted to bring one additional bag into the venue. Arrangements for this must be made in advance. They can be made by contacting the Emergency Management team or the Penn State Athletics Game Operations team. 

Once arrangements have been made, guests with these bags will enter through a particular gate at the stadium. This will be either the ADA Gate – on the stadium’s west side – or at gate B, through the Beaver Stadium Police Station. 

Cashless policy

Beaver Stadium at Penn State is a completely cashless venue. The merchandise stands, concessions, ticket office, and parking garages are all cashless. Guests can also pay via mobile pay, such as with Google Pay or Apple Pay. 

Code of conduct

The Beaver Stadium code of conduct relates to the expected personal conduct from all fans. Everyone needs to be on their best behavior to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for everyone! 

Here are some of the main points of the fan code of conduct that have to be followed during your time at the venue. 

  • » Follow all protocols and regulations at the venue and campus
  • » Abide by the bag policies, venue policies, and the prohibited items list
  • » Sit in your assigned seats
  • » When requested, be ready to present your ticket
  • » Comply with instructions from stadium personnel, such as ushers, security, and any other authorized personnel
  • » Represent your team with respect, dignity, and honor
  • » No sexist, racist, biphobic, transphobic, or any other offensive terms or language will be tolerated
  • » Abusive behavior – both verbal and physical – will not be tolerated
  • » Show hospitality to visiting teams
  • » Refrain from taunting and negative remarks during cheers
  • » Cheer and stand when appropriate during a game
  • » Report any unattended items, unusual behavior, or suspicious activity. You can do so by calling 1-800-NITTANY, texting NITTANY to 69050 on a game day – and including your location and issue – or emailing [email protected]. 

First aid

There are first aid stations within the EMS building at Beaver Stadium, where emergency medical services are also available. The EMS building is located between the public E and F gates. 

If there is an issue within the stands, make sure to contact the nearest emergency medical personnel or usher. Ushers will be wearing orange vests, while emergency and medical personnel wear green and orange, fluorescent vests. Medical personnel also have PSU EMS marked on their vests. 

If there is a medical issue in the parking lot, the nearest parking attendant or police officer should be contacted, and you should call 911. 

Guest services

The Guest Services booths can be visited to help with any issues. There are booths for Guest Services located at each gate. 

You can find fan location wristbands at any of the Guest Services booths. These wristbands can be incredibly useful, as seat locations can be written on them. This can be invaluable when it comes to reuniting lost children with their parents. 

Guests can also contact the Customer Relations Center on game day by phone. This service can be reached four hours before the kick-off time and is available through to halftime. You can contact the Customer Relations Center by calling 1-800-NITTANY (1-800-648-8269). 

Lost and found

The lost and found service is offered at the Guest Services booths. It can also be found at the Beaver Stadium Police Station, located at gate B. 

If you find any lost items while you are at the stadium, be sure to turn them over to an usher. Alternatively, you can also take them to a Guest Services booth. 

Any items that haven’t been claimed when the game is over will be available at the Eisenhower Parking Deck or the University Police Station from the following Monday after. You can also call (814) 865-1864 to query about lost items. 

Any items left inside the stadium or at the entry gates unattended will not be able to be recovered, as they will be discarded.

Accessibility

There are a range of accessibility options available at the stadium, making it easy for those with certain needs to get around the venue with ease. Let’s take a closer look at the accessibility. 

Accessible entrances

Gate A has two elevators, both of which offer access to the South upper deck, Mt. Nittany Club, and the mid-level concourse. However, it is encouraged that fans enter through Gate B and make their way through the venue to get to the Gate A elevators. 

Gate B features an accessible ramp – which goes to the South end zone on all levels – and an escalator that travels to the mid-level concourse. 

Moving escalators are only able to be used before a game. They cannot be used post-game. The only accessible options after a game are elevators and stadium ramps.
