UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State Athletics has launched Penn State Experiences, a new department-wide fan experiences program that gives Nittany Lion fans access to moments and places previously reserved for players, coaches and staff.
The program spans three categories, including memberships, signature events and game day premium experiences across most sports. Every offering carries two price points: one for the public and a reduced rate for Nittany Lion Club members and season ticket holders. A select set of experiences is also reserved each year as free redemptions for Penn State students and fans as part of the Penn State Rewards program.
The program arrives alongside Penn State Rewards, the new loyalty platform announced last Thursday. Penn State Rewards allows fans to earn points for the ways they already support the Nittany Lions by attending games, spending at Penn State Athletics facilities and shopping with participating partners, and redeem them for merchandise, memorabilia, tickets and select Penn State experiences. Together, the two programs give Penn State fans more ways to engage with the department year-round. Penn State Rewards is available at www.pennstaterewards.com and through the Penn State Athletics Official Mobile App.
Game Day Premium Experiences
Football offerings include a pregame walkthrough of the locker room, attending the postgame press conference, a quarter alongside the radio broadcast team, conducting the Blue Band during a timeout, a Penn State White Out soundcheck the night before the game, prepping the locker room with the equipment staff, setting up the stadium with the grounds crew, and a visit from the Nittany Lion and spirit squads at your tailgate.
Men's and women's basketball offerings include a postgame shootaround on the floor, the pregame high-five tunnel and delivering the game ball to the officiating crew. Baseball and softball offerings include throwing out the first pitch, serving as kid PA announcer and delivering the rosin bag to the mound. Personalized videoboard messages are available across 14 sports.
