UNIVERSITY PARK, CENTRE COUNTY - More than 90 tents are lined up outside the student gate at Beaver Stadium. Paternovillians said nothing will keep them from getting great seats to Saturday’s clash - nothing except for freezing temperatures.

Penn State Sophomores Julia Kellogg and Schlasschly Marrero have different strategies to combat the chill circling over Paternoville.

“I have two pairs of leggings and pants and sweatshirts. I have two sweatshirts on, and I'm inside my sleeping bag,” Kellogg said.

“I power walk up here, keep the blood going, and then basically from the moment I get in the tent to the moment I have to switch shifts I am sleeping bundled up like a little cocoon,” Schlasschly Marrero said.

Compared to three weeks ago the 40 degree temperatures are nothing.

“Last time I camped out was for the Minnesota game, and it actually got snowed out, and it was awful and cold, but now it's not so bad,” Kellogg said. If it gets much colder, camping gets the ax.

”32 degrees or below is when we are supposed to stop camping . . . 32 degrees is the limit, this week has been cold, so far it hasn't hit 32,” John Tecce, Vice President of the Paternoville Coordinating Committee, said

But students are willing to risk it for front row seats to see the Lions take a bite out of the Buckeyes.

“Ohio State and Penn State are such big rivals. It's always a big game every year, for like forever, and the fact that we beat them last year on their field,” Marrero said.

Tecce said another option if the temps drop below freezing is to let students camp out during the day and send them home to their warm beds at night.
