Who said the Beav couldn’t be used for events besides football??

It went to hell when Country Music invaded our fine stadium. Once you sink to that level, pretty much everything else would be a step upwards.
Let's enjoy this climb back to respectability.
These are exactly the kind of revenue generating opportunities that the school should be pursuing. They don't harm anyone else and if the people paying for them enjoy it, great. I'm a little surprised they are limiting the movie to only 1000 tickets as they could obviously fit way more but perhaps they think some scarcity is needed to get it to sell.
Any word on how Topgolf went last summer?

Topgolf brings life to Beaver Stadium in offseason
The Topgolf Live Stadium Tour has arrived at Beaver Stadium this weekend to appeal to Penn State fans looking for a unique golf experience.
Generating positive net revenue - in almost any scenario - is a good thing.
That said, do you think showing Lion King on the scoreboards, and charging admission to people who want to come in and watch it - is likely to even cover the costs of opening up, staffing, and providing utilities on a summer evening?
I would be pleasantly surprised. (shocked, actually)
They should show porn. I mean....it's the summer and the Forum isn't gonna be showing movies.....
I saw some pictures of people rappelling off the Stadium a few weeks ago...That would have been fun, but I'm sure it would have been out of my price range...I'll stick to going off water towers and cell towers for free with the fire dept.
Beave at the Beave? It only holds ~109K
Porn on the big Screen? Think what will happen to the students! Think what will happen to PSUBob92? He could wind up in traction for life after the first five minutes of watching it!
The yoga should make money if it draws a decent crowd. The movie? Toss-up. Maybe they could augment revenue by setting up concession stand and charging movie theater prices.
I had such high hopes for you, I thought you could get through at least the opening creditsFive minutes?
I suspect it was a bit of a "clunker" given the $80 - $90/hour pricing and the rainy weather. a link to YouTube is belowAny word on how Topgolf went last summer?

And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is your Portland Cement Crack of the Week.
The mantra was always "Joe didn't want it". If I recall, there was quite a bit of irritation when the stadium was used for the various HS football championships with Hershey's stadium was under construction.
Joe has been gone for more than a decade, and the next significant "other" revenue generator to use the stadium will be the first one.
.
The stadium lack the appropriate infrastructure to host a large concert. The two portals to the field level, the south end zone tunnel and the visitor's tunnel, do not provide the appropriate size to allow for the movement of modern rigging, staging equipment, other equipment now required for large concert events.
Oh wellAccording to athletic department spokesperson Kris Petersen, yoga will be $40 per person while the movie — the 1994 animated version — will cost $5 per person.
Tickets will go on sale sometime in June, and more information is expected to be released in the near future.
Don't expect that to be a huge money-maker for PSU. Just ask the boys who run the Big Outhouse.
What about these for the Pennsyltuckians?

How about Women's FIFA world cup? You might have a colleague that knows a thing or two about that.
Or friendlies and Shebelieves? They sell out all over the US.

Sure, if NASCAR is interested. Financial arrangements won't be much different: PSU gets essentially a flat rental fee, which isn't at all bad, but the league/promoter pockets the big bucks.What about these for the Pennsyltuckians?

Winter Classic
Get two good teams with Penn State’s patented overcharging. Should be a win-win.
Uh, uh. Whether teams (unlikely) or leagues, PSU is grossly over matched when it comes to negotiating. This is major orders of magnitude more than screwing people who look like us.
And yet:
The proposed renovations - which are being sold, at least partially, as being a step to allow for more "usages" - does nothing to address any of those supposed issues (which, IMO, were never "issues" anyway - but regardless, the initial point makes it moot).
Kinda' makes one wonder, no?

Everything now has a price tag.
Game day chants soon to follow.
“We Are”…$10 per person or $20 per family
“Penn State”…$5 person or $10 per family

Hopefully the natural grass playing field remains a priority, despite wear and tear from any events on the field (vs. stands).
Yes that is the event that caused these learningsThey did try about six years ago. Perhaps they found out the hard way.
Perhaps they can fix the issue of field access during the facelift?
