Beaver Stadium
Home to the Penn State Nittany Lions of the Big Ten Conference since 1960, the Beaver Stadium is located in the Pennsylvania State University.
Beaver Stadium, just like all its predecessors, is named after James A. Beaver. In Beaver’s early years, he worked as a lawyer in nearby Bellefonte. However, at the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army as a second lieutenant and rose to the rank of brigadier general prior to his discharge in 1864. Later on, he served as a superior court judge, the governor of Pennsylvania (1887-1991) and president of the university’s board of trustees. He passed away in 1941 and is well-remembered as one of the most influential leaders in the development of the University.
