The performances on the Old Main Lawn FRI evening look interesting.

What's with the "complimentary parking pass" for the Blue/ White game? I thought parking was free? Why would a pass be necessary? I am going for the first time in years.

They've done the "complimentary parking pass" for a while

It means nothing. Parking is still free.

just their way of letting you know that the clock is ticking....

in the future you can bet they won't be so "complimentary"

It must cost ICA at least $100,000, maybe a good deal more, to put on the Blue White Game given security, ushers, parking attendants, medical readiness, stadium prep, etc. Given our ICA budget lately, why should Penn State operate the Blue White Game at a significant loss (if it does)?

Do concessions and royalties from the festival cover Blue White Game operating costs?

If not, I wouldn't object to a $5 game ticket to ensure that the event is at least a break-even proposition for ICA.

I believe that they do.... Hence the reason they are hoping we have 70k or more.

So while parking is free you should have a printed parking pass. Game attendance is free shouldn't we have a printed game ticket? Lets kill more trees shall we.

This doesn't really help but it's all that's been posted...

The players will be permitted to sign one item per person to give as many fans as possible an opportunity to meet the squad. A team poster will be available at the stadium gates, while supplies last, for the players to sign during the autograph session and for other fans attending the game. There will also be a blank page for autographs in the Blue-White Game program that will be sold outside and inside Beaver Stadium before the game. Regulation size footballs will be permitted in the stadium for the autograph session. The players will not be available for photographs prior to the game
