Requests for credentials may also be directed to Nick Whitley no later than one week prior to event start.

Request Credentials Opens in a new windowPhotographers
A working press credential must be issued to any individual taking photographs at a Penn State wrestling dual meet. Space for photographers is located at the southwest edge of the mat inside Rec Hall, or at the east edge of the mat inside the Bryce Jordan Center. Photographer spaces are assigned to credentialed photographers only, with a seating chart visible and available inside both the Rec Hall and Bryce Jordan Center Media Rooms. See the “Media Credentials” section above for information on requesting a credential.
Media Seating
Seating on press row inside both Rec Hall and the Bryce Jordan Center is strictly limited to credentialed members of the working media only. Media seating is automatically reserved for any media members possessing a season-long or single-dual writing media credential. Spaces along press row inside Rec Hall and the Bryce Jordan Center are reserved for media members by name and outlet. As space allows, additional spaces may be reserved for photographers or videographers that are credentialed to cover home dual meets, should they require in-event access to their writing media counterparts. For questions regarding media seating at either Rec Hall or the Bryce Jordan Center, contact Nick Whitley in the Penn State Strategic Communications office.
