Penn State students are really excited about Saturday's battle between the No. 2 NIttany Lions and No. 19 Michigan.
Nittanyville, a make-shift tent town assembled during the week leading up to each Penn State home game, was already packed with tents on Tuesday.
Nittanyville filled to the brim. Why does this remind me of The Who's in Whoville? @abc27News pic.twitter.com/FCiVzeJEV1

The motivation behind sleeping outside in a tent all week? Great seats to the game and special events during the week.
From PSU.edu:
"Nittanyville offers students the opportunity to be the first in line for student-section seats, which are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition to achieving a first-rate vantage point for football games, a stay at Nittanyville is packed full of fun and entertainment, including a slam-dunk competition; pep rallies complete with cheerleaders, chants and songs; and visits from Penn State coaches and others delivering free food to the town’s residents."
Couldn’t ask for better weather to start our weeklong! 934 Strong!
