Penn State University is clearing out its attic, so to speak, and die-hard Nittany Lions fans are getting a shot at some truly unique keepsakes. In tandem with ongoing renovations to Beaver Stadium, an online auction is set to dish out pieces of the iconic venue to the highest bidders. According to CBS News Pittsburgh, the athletics department announced via social media that the sale will launch on April 28.
The virtual auction block features an assortment of memorabilia, including some of the stadium's old letters, signage, and even a slice of the lion's head that once presided over the stadium. And for those who like to sit on a piece of history, sections of the bleacher seats are also up for grabs. As reported by WPXI, each item comes certified with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring buyers that they are getting the genuine article.
This memorabilia bonanza coincides with the demolition of Beaver Stadium's press box and the addition of new concourses, escalators, elevators, and pedestrian ramps as part of the renovation plan. All this construction work aims to be completed before the 2027 football season, a timeline provided by CBS News Pittsburgh. It's a makeover for an old friend — one that promises to bring more comfort and accessibility to future Penn State football enthusiasts.
For those looking to place their bids or further ingratiate themselves in the specifics of this rare opportunity, they can redirect their attention to the Beaver Stadium Memorabilia auction website. Questions not answered by the neatly arranged FAQ section on the site can be directed to Lion Surplus at [email protected].
