UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – On Thursday, April 11, 2019 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m., the Penn State All-Sports Museum will host its fourth annual Battle of the Student Sections in partnership with students of the Recreation, Park and Tourism Management 456 class.
The event will feature interactive games and activities for visitors to compete in, as well as a lively competition between student sections with the top scoring team crowned as champion. Individuals also have the opportunity to compete for the MVP trophy for most points earned at the end of the night. All are invited to come and enjoy free food, fun games and competitions and enjoy a unique night with friends. The event is free and open to the community. You do not need to be affiliated with a specific student section to participate.
In an article written by Onward State, a comment was made which stated, "People should expect some friendly competition, as well as the chance to learn some things about Penn State sports history that they didn't know before."
The museum is located on the southwest corner of Beaver Stadium. A long canopy leading from Curtain Road marks the museum entrance. Parking is free in Bryce Jordan East and Stadium West after 5 p.m. For more information, please email asmevents@psu.edu.
