Beaver Stadium--Banquet
Site for ASV 2005
Named after Pennsylvania Governor James A. Beaver, the looming stadium becomes
the third largest community in Pennsylvania on Penn State home football Saturdays
when more than 107,000 fans fill its seats to watch the Nittany Lions. The stadium's
capacity is second only to Michigan's. Beaver Stadium with its intricate web of
steel beams rises over the campus as a magnificent arena unparalleled in collegiate
sports. Our Tuesday night banquet will be held atop the stadium in the plush Mount
Nittany lounge, offering a tremendous view of Mount Nittany in the comfortable
setting of a resort lounge. We are pleased to offer ASV delegates the best hospitality
suite in the State of Pennsylvania for our banquet, along with gourmet regional
food served with the casual flair of an all-American sports stadium. Entrance
to Beaver stadium will be via the Penn State All-Sports Museum (free admission
to the museum with your banquet registration). You can choose to take a tour of
the museum, or enjoy drinks with colleagues, before or after dinner. You will
then take an elevator four stories up to the Lounge for dinner and incredible
views of Mt. Nittany as well as the stadium.
The ASV annual dance will
be held in the Mount Nittany Lounge at 9 p.m.
