Along with the ticket information, the Nittany Lions have announced their 2016 promotional schedule. Penn State opens the 2016 campaign with a double dual meet against North Carolina State. While the women's team competes against NC State, the men's program takes on Army. The first 400 fans in attendance at Rec Hall will receive an exclusive white out t-shirt. At the meet, kids can get their face painted, receive airbrushed tattoos and a caricature artist will be present. There will be an autograph session following the conclusion of the meet.
The Nittany Lions will be back in action at Rec Hall a week later, Jan. 16, against Big Ten opponent Nebraska to host their annual Flip for the Cure meet, which benefits the Pink Zone. All fans are encouraged to wear pink and fans that do attend the meet wearing pink can purchase tickets for $4.
Following a road meet, Penn State returns home to face Illinois on Friday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m. The Friday night meet will be THON & Social Media night. Fifty percent of all ticket proceeds will go to THON and we will be giving away selfie sticks to the first 200 fans. Also, the first 10 fans that tag use #PSUWGYM at the meet will receive a free PSU gymnastics t-shirt. Following the meet, fans will have the chance to take a selfie with the team.
The meet against Alabama, Cornell & Denver on Feb. 20 is Veterans, Armed Forces & Public Safety Day. Prior to the meet, the ROTC will be in attendance for the color guard and the national anthem. Veterans, members of the armed forces, and public safety personnel can attend the meet for free with a valid veteran, military, or public safety I.D. Following the meet, the women's gymnastics team will be holding an autograph session.
The final meet of the year, March 12, will be the Penn State women gymnastics alumni weekend. While supplies last, fans can receive a throwback poster. Following the meet, there will be an autograph session with current and former members of the Penn State women's gymnastics program.
