As an alum from PSU, the atmosphere is unmatched. When you're at the game, the stadium will literally rock. The white out is the best thing to be a part of once in your life
The White Out is a party with 115,000 of your best friends, losing your voice, watching your team win (ideally), and creating a literal man made mini earthquake (it measures on the Richter Scale at a local weather station a few miles away). It’s more than an experience. I was at the Halloween White Out in 2012 against Michigan when I was a student there. The atmosphere is unmatched and the participation of the entire stadium is legendary
I may be a Buckeye but Happy Valley I'd a fantastic place, and amazing place to attend a football, and hockey game. Their men's hockey team has been really starting to heat up the ice the past few years.
The town of State College, where Penn State is located, only has about 50,000 people. The capacity of the stadium is over twice that. People come from all over the state, and the country, to watch Penn State home games.
Penn State's home field has the second highest crowd capacity of any football stadium (college or professional) in the US, at 106,572. Coincidentally, the team they're playing against in this game - Michigan - is #1 (107,601).
@@hokey8738 I was going by listed stadium capacity, which is usually just the number of seats. Announced attendance numbers usually include stadium staff, band members, media, even players and coaches, which is why they're often higher.
One of the little details that a lot of people miss, is that during the chant, it's the student section shouting "WE ARE" and the alumni responding with "PENN STATE." For home games on Saturday, the alumni start showing up on Wednesday and camping in the fields next to the stadium. By Friday, students are joining them.

I was actually at this game (and try to go every year) and the atmosphere is unreal. I believe the attendance this night was just over 110,000 people.

Coming from someone who was there, you could not hear yourself scream. The most magical and just full of life place ever. Genuinely my favorite place on Earth.
I live only 30 minutes from Penn State and will be attending this weekend's white out game against Auburn! Everyone need to experience a PSU white out game at least once even if you're not a fan. It is INSANE. Videos don't even do the noise level justice.
When Penn State has a home game, Beaver Stadium (where the game is played) is the 3rd largest location / city in Pennsylvania (After Philadelphia and Pittsburgh).
My Dad was in the Penn State Blue Band and for a little while when I was young, we would go back for Homecoming games. When my sister was a freshman at PSU, she sneaked me into the student section for a Homecoming game. My niece is a freshman at PSU now and attended yesterday's White Out Game. I wish I could've been there with her!
As an OSU fan who gets this white out game every other season this atmosphere is electric. Gives the home team a 10-14 point advantage. You should also listen to some of the 7 nation army chants from there as well.
This is first time I think a team has made the opponent call a timeout without any time coming off the clock cause of how loud it was. The student section (section with the S) is THE loudest part ALONE
Hell yes!! These games are EPIC!! About 2 hours away. Nothing like being there LIVE and LOUD! "WE ARE!!" "PENN STATE!!" PS: If you're coming during the Spring, the New York Yankees AAA team call Scranton home. Told ya we have everything 😆Peace man. ✌
Football has started up, college and NFL. I'm glad there's going to be bigger crowds. It really affected the games last year. Most of the players need that energy to perform at their best.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned college “fight songs”. My freshman year sitting in the student section for the first football game, a senior behind us said: “I expect you all to learn the fight song-both verses-by the next game. I’ll be testing you.” He was NOT joking! You can hear the band and crowd with the fight song at the beginning of the game and with each score. My daughter is a freshman this year at my alma mater. I tested her on the fight song-both verses-before the first game last week. 😁
Going to a Penn State game is an incredible experience! I live in Charlotte, NC and the drive is about 8 1/2 hrs. I haven't been to a game in 2 yrs and I miss it😩 It's so much fun!
So happy and proud to have been a part of the student section during this game my freshman year. It’s an earth shattering experience with incredible energy and noise! A must see if you are ever in this area! I was also fortunate enough to experience this PSU v. Auburn whiteout this year. Nothing short of amazing! Another neat aspect of Penn State home games is the reciting of the school’s alma mater. Before games all the fans typically ~100,000 of us link arms and sway while singing our PSU alma mater. Gives me chills every time!
Not sure if anyone has said this but to explain the first play, due to Penn State’s maximum capacity and very loud crowd, the whistle was blown because of what’s called a “false start” when someone moved over the line before the ball was in play. This was because of the crowd being so loud that the players couldn’t hike the ball because they simply couldn’t hear each other from two feet away
As an Auburn alum... Penn State is one game I would highly recommend going to, especially a white out game. It will be an experience you've never had. The second experience is to go to an Iron Bowl (Auburn vs Alabama), especially when both teams are doing well. One of the best Iron Bowls was the 2013 Iron Bowl, especially the last 1 second of the game. That night we actually shook the Richter Scale by .01 that night, registered a slight earthquake with how loud it was. WDE!
I like 10 mins from penn state we have one rule. We don't go in town on game day ESPECIALLY white outs. Saturday is the white out game with auburn.. I'm heading in town now to get what I need. its psu.. penn state university. I'm glad you chose this game most of our family are penn state fans but have 3 who are Michigan fans.
The stadium holds like 115,000. The town itself is 35,000 people plus 35,000 students. On game day, 115,000 people come to fill the stadium, and another 100,000 will hang out outside the stadium or in condomeniums that they own just as party pads and sports bars. The population of the town on game days is over 250,000 people. It takes 8 hours for the traffic to leave the town.
In the first play, Michigan couldn’t snap the ball because there was so much noise. That’s why they took a time out and the PSU defenders were celebrating
It shows it at the end of the clip but I don’t know if you noticed- Michigan got the ball first, but they had to call a timeout before the first play of the game because the stadium was so loud. Considering they only get 3 per half and have a whole week to prepare for the start of the game, the fact that they had to do that anyways shows why everyone is so hyped and showed just how crazy the stadium was. If you want a prime example of home field advantage in football this is it
I’ve been to a few of the PSU whiteouts, there is absolutely nothing louder, more thrilling and more energetic than Beaver Stadium on whiteout night. When you’re in the seats jumping up and down, it almost feels like an earthquake under your feet- you cannot rival that. Truly one of the best experiences a college football fan can have
1. they are saying PSU. 2. normal capacity is 107,000 but for white outs it reaches 110,000 3. this is only the start and it needs to be experienced. watch the white out live on Sept 18th
I graduated from there, PSU stands for Penn State University. We usually use initials for colleges and universities all throughout America. The local area almost exclusively uses initials to refer to the school. I was at that White Out game too.
Glad to see that you did a White Out video, but there's a better one: "Pre-Game Running Out of The Tunnel Versus Michigan"...this will give you a chill!😊👍😊
Such a great video to react to! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it. Gives me chills each time I watch, the atmosphere at PSU is unmatched, at every game. I would recommend checking out other entrances for college football, they are all so cool to watch. (Enter Sandman - Virginia Tech, and Sandstorm - South Carolina) are great as well.
My at the time girlfriend attended Penn State.. The few times I've been able to go to games has always been a crazy experience!! An insane time always!
It was awesome to see your reaction! I’m in the Penn State Marching Band, and being in the middle of all that noise is something you just can’t describe. Hope you get a chance to go to one of our games sometime!
I’m a current Penn State Student and our stadium holds roughly 107,000 people and that game over sold on tix and the exact attendance was 110,669 people. Also in the begging the chant is PSU for Penn State University.
At this particular game there were 110,000 there. Every year for the biggest home game of the year penn state throws a white out game. I’m going for the first time this weekend I’m so pumped!
i was at that game lol, my profile pic is from that game actually. It was so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. Being in the student section was a crazy experience. We had our white out game against auburn in September. It was unbelievably loud with 110,000 fans at beaver stadium! LETS GO STATE!
Kabir. In 🏴 you are use to a Red Cross with a White field. PSU. What you are not seeing. Is the Blue cross. Just a T-shirt down to your knees. With a large blue cross on the front. Painted white face. With blue crosses on the cheekbones. “We Are” “Penn State”
MLS & MLB are in the spring, Atlanta, NYC, LA, Seatle & Portland have biggest crowds in MLS, NYC, Boston, Baltiimore, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, LA & San Franisco best stadium crowds in the MLB. In Canada, Toronto for MLB & Vancouver for MLS.
I go to PSU and was at that game. That game there was 129,000 people or something like that it’s a crazy cool environment and one of the hardest places to win against us. As you saw in the vid (idk how much American football you know) Michigan had a false start which means basically the team couldn’t hear them selves and didn’t know when to start. We are known for doing this and will have a counter for big games. It is a crazy cool atmosphere not to mention the tailgating before the game
I’m a Miami fan, but, PSU alum. Been to a few games in the student section, the white out is definitely crazy and is off the charts. I always got teased when I wore my Miami gear, but, it was all in good fun. I’m from Florida, hence who I’m a Miami fan 😁.
The White Out is this weekend up at Penn State! My husband has been up there at State College and he loves the whole vibe! Can't wait and We Are * Penn State!!
I am currently a Penn State student and am watching this video at 3:15 AM because I cannot sleep due to the excitement. This year's whiteout is tonight at 7:30 EST and without one last year, this year's will be even better. About 500 students including myself have been camping outside of the stadium in tents since Monday in preparation for this game. If you make it to one college football game in your life, I highly recommend The WHITEOUT as being that game. I've been a big fan since earlier this year and have been waiting for some sort of PSU content. This did not disappoint. Keep up the great work and you'll have to look out for some highlights or videos from tonight's game to react to.
Awesome video! I’m one of the people who suggested reacting to this since I was there in the student section 🤣 also, loads of college football teams have scrimmages in the spring time where they basically just practice in front of fans. Not as cool / loud but still awesome nonetheless
I was at that game and the video does no justice to how amazing the atmosphere is. The stadium had over 109,000 in it and there are another 30,000 tailgaters who do not have tickets to the game who watch on TVs in the parking area and then there are people who come to state college and watch the game from the local bars. The population of the town more than quadruples on game days.
Penn State's mascot is a Nittany Lion(Mountain Lion). That's why they play song from the Lion King. Also, they play the sound of a Cougar over the speakers everytime the team makes a great play, which is frequently.
The initials for penn state is PSU witch is what they are chanting. There is 111,000 people at that game I believe and it was a surreal experience to be there in person.
Fun fact, Penn State's stadium can fit 106,500 people. And white out nights are some of the biggest nights for college football games and almost guarantee a sold out game, so that's the sound of over 100,000 people!
current penn state student - the whiteout has been a childhood dream of mine, and I finally got to go this year. and its so loud that the echoes make it sound like we're off beat
P-S-U, Pennsylvania State University, aka Penn State. There’s also a University of Pennsylvania, aka Penn. They suck at football, lol, but both are very good schools academically, tough to get in to.
Of course out of anything in this video the one thing that catches my eye is at 2:40 when the scoreboard pops-up you can see that the logos werent loaded yet and it just says "Team 1 LOGO" and "Team 2 LOGO" lmfao.
In case you weren't aware - that first play (or non-play) was a demonstration of how a home team will use crowd noise during the game. The crowd is so loud, that the quarterback is having trouble being heard by his own teammates - since he has a finite time period to start the play, he has just been penalized 5 yards for "delay of game". The players waving their arms are signaling "LOUDER" to the crowd. The crowd roar in some stadiums can exceed 100db on the field.
They’re playing this weekend one of the biggest games, Saturday at 7:30 U.S Eastern time if you wanna watch it, gonna be the same atmosphere they’re playing against the Auburn tigers.
So fun to watch this! My baby girl will become an Alum of Penn State next month. She went to White Out this year for the first time and had sooo much fun. She called me from her seat and I could NOT hear a thing. 🤣🤣 She’s excited to return as an alum. 🐾🐾
The crowd noise can literally effect the game in American FB. When the home team is on defense the crowd will get extra loud to try and effect verbal communication between the opponents offense. (alerts, adjustments, protections, being called before the play by the QB) . At 7:43 this is what happened
@@kabirconsiders absolutely 💯. Some universities are what we refer to as "wine & cheese crowds" and others are notorious for their loudness. Its not always about the capacity. My team only has a 51k capacity stadiums but we have a reputation of sounding like a 85k
@@kabirconsiders it should be noted that speakers are not allowed to broadcast as the play is beginning. That would be definitely unsportsmanship, but the unamplified human voice is obviously allowed...TEAM SPIRIT.
Actually what happened was the stadium playing music through the P.A. until only 7 seconds left on the play clock. You can tell Michigan wasn't even doing anything in terms of normal pre-play reads/call-outs. You can tell as soon as the music stops, the O-line actually got set and the QB started his reads and cadence with the clap. They waited for the music to stop, which is usually done as the team lines up (or until they are back from a media timeout where the players may be lined up well before the refs give the go-ahead to run the clock). Refs should have reset the play clock tbh. Michigan clearly didn't think it was running due to the P.A. still going and it's not allowed to play that deep into it to begin with. Maybe they should have been aware you can argue but the delay of game wasn't due to crowd noise in that moment. QB lifts his leg for the pre-snap cadence well after it was at 0 and right before the whistles. They had no urgency believing they had around 25 seconds after the music stopped as usual.
I was at that game. It was so loud you could feel it in your chest. The stadium shakes and it actually is measurable on the earthquake Richter scale. I went to PSU in the early to mid 90's. And I wish the white out was around when I was a student there.
Hey Kabir yesterday was a crazy day here in Utah. 2 rival schools were playing (BYU and University of Utah). They are both predominantly Mormon schools and for the first time since 2009, BYU beat the Utes. Crazy day!
I love college football and I’m partial to the Florida Gators myself. I try and go to at least one home game a year. I get there early to see the pregame show and Gator Runout. Then there is the band playing “We are the Boys from Old Florida” while everyone sings a sways to it. That is followed by Tom Petty’s “Won’t Back Down”. Those two are done at the end of the 3rd quarter. College football is indeed played in the fall but you might be here for the start of Major League Soccer. Maybe you could come down to Orlando to catch a Orlando City match and possibly see Nani play here.
Loved penn state football since I’ve been a child. Had family and friends play there. Been to 50+ games. I live an hour from the stadium and hotels rooms are never available during football season.
Officially it is called The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) but it is basically always just called Penn State. And for football it has one of the best atmospheres anywhere.
I went to Penn State for grad school. It's crazy. I was never that into it the way I am about my undergrad's basketball team, but they take it seriously. They call a statute of a Nittany Lion a shrine, they have a windvane of a nittany lion you can see getting off the highway, a stuffed mountain lion in a case in the library. The highway is packed on any football weekend, but The White Out at Beaver Stadium is on another level.
Pennsylvania State University PSU Whiteout game this weekend definitely recommend took a friend of mine one time from Australia to a white out game ten years ago against Alabama and he was blown away at the greatest show in college football!capacity is 106k and some change but for the whiteout they could have 110k this weekend! Second biggest stadium only behind the Big House in Michigan which capacity is 107k and some change. We Are.... Penn State! 😁🦁👏💪🏈

I wish I could've been there with her!
As an OSU fan who gets this white out game every other season this atmosphere is electric. Gives the home team a 10-14 point advantage. You should also listen to some of the 7 nation army chants from there as well.
This is first time I think a team has made the opponent call a timeout without any time coming off the clock cause of how loud it was. The student section (section with the S) is THE loudest part ALONE
what song name before timeout?
@@LuizFernando-cf6xx it was mo bamba I actually had a video of the timeout play but idk what happened to it
Hell yes!! These games are EPIC!! About 2 hours away. Nothing like being there LIVE and LOUD!
"WE ARE!!" "PENN STATE!!"
PS: If you're coming during the Spring, the New York Yankees AAA team call Scranton home. Told ya we have everything 😆Peace man. ✌
WE ARE PENN STATE!!
Let’s GO PSU!🔵⚪️
In football, the fans are called "the 12th man" because they often can impact the game by just being so loud.
Football has started up, college and NFL. I'm glad there's going to be bigger crowds. It really affected the games last year. Most of the players need that energy to perform at their best.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned college “fight songs”. My freshman year sitting in the student section for the first football game, a senior behind us said: “I expect you all to learn the fight song-both verses-by the next game. I’ll be testing you.” He was NOT joking! You can hear the band and crowd with the fight song at the beginning of the game and with each score. My daughter is a freshman this year at my alma mater. I tested her on the fight song-both verses-before the first game last week. 😁
Going to a Penn State game is an incredible experience! I live in Charlotte, NC and the drive is about 8 1/2 hrs. I haven't been to a game in 2 yrs and I miss it😩 It's so much fun!
PSU is Pennsylvania State University.
Stadium holds over 100,000
And it’s still not even the biggest stadium…
It should be call chomo State University
107k, 110k for white outs
So happy and proud to have been a part of the student section during this game my freshman year. It’s an earth shattering experience with incredible energy and noise! A must see if you are ever in this area! I was also fortunate enough to experience this PSU v. Auburn whiteout this year. Nothing short of amazing!
Another neat aspect of Penn State home games is the reciting of the school’s alma mater. Before games all the fans typically ~100,000 of us link arms and sway while singing our PSU alma mater. Gives me chills every time!
Not sure if anyone has said this but to explain the first play, due to Penn State’s maximum capacity and very loud crowd, the whistle was blown because of what’s called a “false start” when someone moved over the line before the ball was in play. This was because of the crowd being so loud that the players couldn’t hike the ball because they simply couldn’t hear each other from two feet away
As an Auburn alum... Penn State is one game I would highly recommend going to, especially a white out game. It will be an experience you've never had. The second experience is to go to an Iron Bowl (Auburn vs Alabama), especially when both teams are doing well. One of the best Iron Bowls was the 2013 Iron Bowl, especially the last 1 second of the game. That night we actually shook the Richter Scale by .01 that night, registered a slight earthquake with how loud it was. WDE!
I like 10 mins from penn state we have one rule. We don't go in town on game day ESPECIALLY white outs. Saturday is the white out game with auburn.. I'm heading in town now to get what I need. its psu.. penn state university. I'm glad you chose this game most of our family are penn state fans but have 3 who are Michigan fans.
The stadium holds like 115,000. The town itself is 35,000 people plus 35,000 students. On game day, 115,000 people come to fill the stadium, and another 100,000 will hang out outside the stadium or in condomeniums that they own just as party pads and sports bars. The population of the town on game days is over 250,000 people. It takes 8 hours for the traffic to leave the town.
In the first play, Michigan couldn’t snap the ball because there was so much noise. That’s why they took a time out and the PSU defenders were celebrating
It shows it at the end of the clip but I don’t know if you noticed- Michigan got the ball first, but they had to call a timeout before the first play of the game because the stadium was so loud. Considering they only get 3 per half and have a whole week to prepare for the start of the game, the fact that they had to do that anyways shows why everyone is so hyped and showed just how crazy the stadium was. If you want a prime example of home field advantage in football this is it
I’ve been to a few of the PSU whiteouts, there is absolutely nothing louder, more thrilling and more energetic than Beaver Stadium on whiteout night. When you’re in the seats jumping up and down, it almost feels like an earthquake under your feet- you cannot rival that. Truly one of the best experiences a college football fan can have
They were saying “PSU” which stands for Penn State University.
1. they are saying PSU. 2. normal capacity is 107,000 but for white outs it reaches 110,000 3. this is only the start and it needs to be experienced. watch the white out live on Sept 18th
by far the craziest sports environment i’ve ever been apart of. the white out is insane
I graduated from there, PSU stands for Penn State University. We usually use initials for colleges and universities all throughout America. The local area almost exclusively uses initials to refer to the school. I was at that White Out game too.
Glad to see that you did a White Out video, but there's a better one:
"Pre-Game Running Out of The Tunnel Versus Michigan"...this will give you a chill!😊👍😊
Such a great video to react to! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it. Gives me chills each time I watch, the atmosphere at PSU is unmatched, at every game. I would recommend checking out other entrances for college football, they are all so cool to watch. (Enter Sandman - Virginia Tech, and Sandstorm - South Carolina) are great as well.
Yes!!!! So happy you reacted to this! The fan noise this game made Michigan call a timeout on the first play, unheard of.
The atmosphere in this vid was phenomenal
Yea and this weekend at Michigan Stadium Washington had a delay of game on the first play from crowd noise, at least Michigan avoided a penalty
what song name before timeout??
@@LuizFernando-cf6xx Sheck Wes - Mo Bamba
My at the time girlfriend attended Penn State.. The few times I've been able to go to games has always been a crazy experience!! An insane time always!
It was awesome to see your reaction! I’m in the Penn State Marching Band, and being in the middle of all that noise is something you just can’t describe. Hope you get a chance to go to one of our games sometime!
I’m a current Penn State Student and our stadium holds roughly 107,000 people and that game over sold on tix and the exact attendance was 110,669 people. Also in the begging the chant is PSU for Penn State University.
To your question, they were chanting PSU (Penn State University)
At this particular game there were 110,000 there. Every year for the biggest home game of the year penn state throws a white out game. I’m going for the first time this weekend I’m so pumped!
Have a blast!!! I miss the white outs😭
I am an alum, graduated in 2007. Haven't been to a game in 2 years...FAR too long.
Have a great time!!
Penn State’s stadium is Beaver Stadium holds 106, 572.
u gotta see the whiteout against auburn this weekend man, crowd's gonna be rowdy. WE ARE!!!
PENN STATE!!!
I watched it Saturday night and I couldn't even hear the announcers 🤣🤣 but who wants to hear them right??
I can't imagine being on the opposing team lol.
Opposing players has said the ground shakes
i was at that game lol, my profile pic is from that game actually. It was so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. Being in the student section was a crazy experience. We had our white out game against auburn in September. It was unbelievably loud with 110,000 fans at beaver stadium! LETS GO STATE!
Kabir.
In 🏴 you are use to a Red Cross with a White field.
PSU. What you are not seeing. Is the Blue cross. Just a T-shirt down to your knees. With a large blue cross on the front. Painted white face. With blue crosses on the cheekbones.
“We Are” “Penn State”
I’m a student at Penn State and this weekend will be my first white out experience. Very excited
Travis how was the experience enjoy all of it and stay safe WE ARE ( from a community college student from California : it’s 2 years instead of 4)
You’ll love it. From an alumni!
You’ll never forget it, Travis!
MLS & MLB are in the spring, Atlanta, NYC, LA, Seatle & Portland have biggest crowds in MLS, NYC, Boston, Baltiimore, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, LA & San Franisco best stadium crowds in the MLB. In Canada, Toronto for MLB & Vancouver for MLS.
I go to PSU and was at that game. That game there was 129,000 people or something like that it’s a crazy cool environment and one of the hardest places to win against us. As you saw in the vid (idk how much American football you know) Michigan had a false start which means basically the team couldn’t hear them selves and didn’t know when to start. We are known for doing this and will have a counter for big games. It is a crazy cool atmosphere not to mention the tailgating before the game
ahhhh i love this! I’m a brit but i attend penn state & i always brag to some old friends back home about how it’s the best atmosphere in sports EVER
I really need to experience this, it looks epic!
Approximately 107,000 people. You can feel the building shake, just from the noise of the fans, when you are in there.
I was there, with 110,000 of my closest friends. Two of my kids were in the band, on the field. It was a night to remember.
I’m a Miami fan, but, PSU alum. Been to a few games in the student section, the white out is definitely crazy and is off the charts. I always got teased when I wore my Miami gear, but, it was all in good fun. I’m from Florida, hence who I’m a Miami fan 😁.
The White Out is this weekend up at Penn State! My husband has been up there at State College and he loves the whole vibe! Can't wait and We Are * Penn State!!
If you come in the Spring look to see if you’ll be over here for the Penn State Blue & White game
I am currently a Penn State student and am watching this video at 3:15 AM because I cannot sleep due to the excitement. This year's whiteout is tonight at 7:30 EST and without one last year, this year's will be even better. About 500 students including myself have been camping outside of the stadium in tents since Monday in preparation for this game. If you make it to one college football game in your life, I highly recommend The WHITEOUT as being that game. I've been a big fan since earlier this year and have been waiting for some sort of PSU content. This did not disappoint. Keep up the great work and you'll have to look out for some highlights or videos from tonight's game to react to.
Awesome video! I’m one of the people who suggested reacting to this since I was there in the student section 🤣 also, loads of college football teams have scrimmages in the spring time where they basically just practice in front of fans. Not as cool / loud but still awesome nonetheless
Thanks Connor :)
The 2019 whiteout had 110,669 in attendance. The record noise level for a white out is 122 decibels!
That’s an incredible amount of people 😳
That music for Penn Staters is just like the music for a New Zealand rugby team!!!! Really gets the blood flowing!!!!
I was at that game and the video does no justice to how amazing the atmosphere is.
The stadium had over 109,000 in it and there are another 30,000 tailgaters who do not have tickets to the game who watch on TVs in the parking area and then there are people who come to state college and watch the game from the local bars. The population of the town more than quadruples on game days.
Penn State's mascot is a Nittany Lion(Mountain Lion). That's why they play song from the Lion King. Also, they play the sound of a Cougar over the speakers everytime the team makes a great play, which is frequently.
A bit of trivia. I have a mountain cabin about 25 miles from that stadium. I can hear it easily when the crowd gets wound up at my cabin
The initials for penn state is PSU witch is what they are chanting. There is 111,000 people at that game I believe and it was a surreal experience to be there in person.
The beat part is we have another white out game this Saturday (9/18) against Auburn
Fun fact, Penn State's stadium can fit 106,500 people. And white out nights are some of the biggest nights for college football games and almost guarantee a sold out game, so that's the sound of over 100,000 people!
I was there. Nothing compares to it live. If you ever check out a live college football game go to a penn state white out its the best in sports.
WE ARE!!!
this makes me miss being a student at Penn State 💙we go all out for our games 🙌🏼
current penn state student - the whiteout has been a childhood dream of mine, and I finally got to go this year. and its so loud that the echoes make it sound like we're off beat
P-S-U, Pennsylvania State University, aka Penn State. There’s also a University of Pennsylvania, aka Penn. They suck at football, lol, but both are very good schools academically, tough to get in to.
Penn State is great(I'm a student there). But UPenn is an Ivy League. Literally a different league academically lol. Very different schools.
I was there for the PSU - Michigan game in 2013, and with standing room… it was 111thousand.
And Penn State won in quadruple overtime
Of course out of anything in this video the one thing that catches my eye is at 2:40 when the scoreboard pops-up you can see that the logos werent loaded yet and it just says "Team 1 LOGO" and "Team 2 LOGO" lmfao.
In case you weren't aware - that first play (or non-play) was a demonstration of how a home team will use crowd noise during the game.
The crowd is so loud, that the quarterback is having trouble being heard by his own teammates -
since he has a finite time period to start the play, he has just been penalized 5 yards for "delay of game".
The players waving their arms are signaling "LOUDER" to the crowd.
The crowd roar in some stadiums can exceed 100db on the field.
That is an awesome thing to have at your disposal! The crowd was like an extra man in that regard
@@kabirconsiders Yea, Texas A&M fans are called the 12th Man for that reason.
@@kabirconsiders - in 2009, the White Out crowd got up to 122 decibels.
They’re playing this weekend one of the biggest games, Saturday at 7:30 U.S Eastern time if you wanna watch it, gonna be the same atmosphere they’re playing against the Auburn tigers.
So fun to watch this! My baby girl will become an Alum of Penn State next month. She went to White Out this year for the first time and had sooo much fun. She called me from her seat and I could NOT hear a thing. 🤣🤣 She’s excited to return as an alum. 🐾🐾
The crowd noise can literally effect the game in American FB. When the home team is on defense the crowd will get extra loud to try and effect verbal communication between the opponents offense. (alerts, adjustments, protections, being called before the play by the QB) . At 7:43 this is what happened
So having a super loud crowd is a huge asset for a team?
@@kabirconsiders absolutely 💯.
Some universities are what we refer to as "wine & cheese crowds" and others are notorious for their loudness. Its not always about the capacity. My team only has a 51k capacity stadiums but we have a reputation of sounding like a 85k
@@kabirconsiders it should be noted that speakers are not allowed to broadcast as the play is beginning. That would be definitely unsportsmanship, but the unamplified human voice is obviously allowed...TEAM SPIRIT.
Actually what happened was the stadium playing music through the P.A. until only 7 seconds left on the play clock. You can tell Michigan wasn't even doing anything in terms of normal pre-play reads/call-outs. You can tell as soon as the music stops, the O-line actually got set and the QB started his reads and cadence with the clap. They waited for the music to stop, which is usually done as the team lines up (or until they are back from a media timeout where the players may be lined up well before the refs give the go-ahead to run the clock). Refs should have reset the play clock tbh. Michigan clearly didn't think it was running due to the P.A. still going and it's not allowed to play that deep into it to begin with. Maybe they should have been aware you can argue but the delay of game wasn't due to crowd noise in that moment. QB lifts his leg for the pre-snap cadence well after it was at 0 and right before the whistles. They had no urgency believing they had around 25 seconds after the music stopped as usual.
That used to be a warning then a penalty against the home team. That changed sometime in the 90's.
I was at that game. It was so loud you could feel it in your chest. The stadium shakes and it actually is measurable on the earthquake Richter scale. I went to PSU in the early to mid 90's. And I wish the white out was around when I was a student there.
Home field advantage is a serious thing in college football, lol!
For context. Penn St v Michigan is like Man U v Liverpool but without the hooligans and fights.
Hey Kabir yesterday was a crazy day here in Utah. 2 rival schools were playing (BYU and University of Utah). They are both predominantly Mormon schools and for the first time since 2009, BYU beat the Utes.
Crazy day!
I need to catch the highlights of that game!
This is a game played at Pennsylvania State University - PSU. The stadium seat 106,000 +.
Capacity of Beaver Stadium is 106,000, but white outs typically get about 109,000-110,000 people
I love college football and I’m partial to the Florida Gators myself. I try and go to at least one home game a year. I get there early to see the pregame show and Gator Runout. Then there is the band playing “We are the Boys from Old Florida” while everyone sings a sways to it. That is followed by Tom Petty’s “Won’t Back Down”. Those two are done at the end of the 3rd quarter.
College football is indeed played in the fall but you might be here for the start of Major League Soccer. Maybe you could come down to Orlando to catch a Orlando City match and possibly see Nani play here.
Loved penn state football since I’ve been a child. Had family and friends play there. Been to 50+ games. I live an hour from the stadium and hotels rooms are never available during football season.
Officially it is called The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) but it is basically always just called Penn State. And for football it has one of the best atmospheres anywhere.
I’d love to catch a game there next year!
I went to Penn State for grad school. It's crazy. I was never that into it the way I am about my undergrad's basketball team, but they take it seriously. They call a statute of a Nittany Lion a shrine, they have a windvane of a nittany lion you can see getting off the highway, a stuffed mountain lion in a case in the library. The highway is packed on any football weekend, but The White Out at Beaver Stadium is on another level.
I don’t know if there’s a way to watch but Saturday September 18th at 7:30 ET is another white out game Penn State vs Auburn it’s going to be insane
That 7:30pm ET
There is a white out next week (Sept 18th) when PSU plays Auburn. It’s great to see fans in the stadiums for all sports!
As an avid football fan here in the USA I think the BIG10 and SEC are unmatched in atmosphere and competition!
Pennsylvania
State
University
PSU
Whiteout game this weekend definitely recommend took a friend of mine one time from Australia to a white out game ten years ago against Alabama and he was blown away at the greatest show in college football!capacity is 106k and some change but for the whiteout they could have 110k this weekend! Second biggest stadium only behind the Big House in Michigan which capacity is 107k and some change.
We Are.... Penn State! 😁🦁👏💪🏈
From a West Virginia fan, that was fking impressive!
I think you'd enjoy watching "Every Kirill Kaprizov Goal From The 2020-2021 NHL Season"
He was the rookie of the year last season and is one of the best young goal scorers in the NHL currently.
I’ll put it on my list!
Night game at the Big House last night. Michigan finally produced a Maize Out and to make it sweeter, some ducks dined out on some buckeyes.
