Penn State Football

Hey everyone. Will be taking the 5th wheel to its first Penn State football game in November. Have a spot in the overnight lot. Couple of questions for anyone that has stayed there. The rules say max length of 40 feet. My trailer is 39 feet. What will they make me do with my tow vehicle? Also, anyone know how wide the spots are? I know they pack you in like sardines. Any other tips for a Penn State football attending newbie?

    I'll be at that game too. Was up for UCF a couple of weeks ago. Your truck will need moved to the lot across from the rv lot....$10 a night I think. My trailer is small enough to leave the TV with it. Width is enough to put your awning out, but it will butt up to your neighbor's rig. It really is tight, but such a great time. Ask away with any other questions.

    Thanks for the information. I am going to send an e-mail to ticketing office to see if I need a pass for the truck. Are generators allowed? I thought last year they were not. But, I saw in the parking information that they are. Any other tips?

    You can get the truck parking permit when you pull in to the ORV lot and just take the truck over after you are done setting up. Inverter generators are OK since they are quiet, you'll see a lot of Honda's and Yamaha's. Best tip is to walk around and see how the ORV veteran's set up and take notes. You'll see things that will work great for your next trip up.

    Quiet hours start at 11 or midnight ,I think. The parties last longer than that though. By 2 am, it's pretty quiet (depending on the game). I would say generators are supposed to be off out of courtesy....and I believe most are.

    If Penn State plays like they did yesterday (against Michigan) there won't be any room left!
