As an alum from PSU, the atmosphere is unmatched. When you're at the game, the stadium will literally rock. The white out is the best thing to be a part of once in your life
The White Out is a party with 115,000 of your best friends, losing your voice, watching your team win (ideally), and creating a literal man made mini earthquake (it measures on the Richter Scale at a local weather station a few miles away). It’s more than an experience. I was at the Halloween White Out in 2012 against Michigan when I was a student there. The atmosphere is unmatched and the participation of the entire stadium is legendary
I may be a Buckeye but Happy Valley I'd a fantastic place, and amazing place to attend a football, and hockey game. Their men's hockey team has been really starting to heat up the ice the past few years.
The town of State College, where Penn State is located, only has about 50,000 people. The capacity of the stadium is over twice that. People come from all over the state, and the country, to watch Penn State home games.
Penn State's home field has the second highest crowd capacity of any football stadium (college or professional) in the US, at 106,572. Coincidentally, the team they're playing against in this game - Michigan - is #1 (107,601).
@@hokey8738 I was going by listed stadium capacity, which is usually just the number of seats. Announced attendance numbers usually include stadium staff, band members, media, even players and coaches, which is why they're often higher.
A couple of things: 1.) PSU is the abbreviation for Penn State University, and almost everyone at Penn State just calls it PSU. 2.) Final game attendance was counted at over 110,000 people. 3.) I don’t think you noticed, but on the first play of the game, Michigan had to call a timeout. They couldn’t get the snap off because the center couldn’t hear the QB because of all of the noise. There’s only one White Out, and it is the best atmosphere in college football. Hands down.
@@cvabuck5489 You can see a taxidermy specimen at the Penn State All-Sports Museum, located at Beaver Stadium. It was a separate species, as you said, and looks different from what most people think.
One of the little details that a lot of people miss, is that during the chant, it's the student section shouting "WE ARE" and the alumni responding with "PENN STATE." For home games on Saturday, the alumni start showing up on Wednesday and camping in the fields next to the stadium. By Friday, students are joining them.

Football season is September to January . NFL play on Sundays, college on Saturdays, Highschool on Friday nights . With a few random NFL/college games during the week.
The noise during the intro. is one thing but it even gets louder during the game. If you want to actually see a whiteout game there is one this Saturday. On our ABC network, 7:30 EST. Penn State vs. Auburn University, 2 of our top 25 ranked teams. If you can get it, record it and get the real feel. Many identify this event as the best in all of college football. ESPN's College Gameday will also be there. They routinely try to get to the best game of the weekend.
Home crowds are an advantage in every sport, but most of all in American Football since they need to communicate play calls and make sure not to flinch and get a penalty. So usually a home crowd will get quiet when their team is on offense and yell their lungs out on defense
@@kabirconsiders Crowds take huge pride in affecting the game. When you’re so loud that an offense gets a false start penalty or has to call a timeout it just fuels everyone that much more
There will be a Whiteout this weekend against Auburn. We will need to let you react to more college football. It can go off the rails and the best possible way.
PSU : Penn State University Nittany Lions You know a Nittany Lion as a Mountain lion. However by PSU they are mostly found near or on Nittany Mountain, thus the specification
The funny part is Nittany translates to something similar to "mountain" in Algonquin depending on who you ask. So it's the "mountain" lions from mount "mountain". Funny things happen when you mash up English with native languages
I was actually at this game (and try to go every year) and the atmosphere is unreal. I believe the attendance this night was just over 110,000 people. It got insanely loud to the point Michigan had to use one of their 3 timeouts before running a single play because they weren't able to hear anything. Then the whole game itself is like a big party. Make as much noise as possible to disrupt the opponents and then the whole crowd karaokes lots of different songs during breaks.
This is part of the reason why Penn State was the only school I actually applied to (and now attend). I have pictures of me when I was 6 in all my Penn State gear at Beaver Stadium and now I’m a student there 😈
I like 10 mins from penn state we have one rule. We don't go in town on game day ESPECIALLY white outs. Saturday is the white out game with auburn.. I'm heading in town now to get what I need. its psu.. penn state university. I'm glad you chose this game most of our family are penn state fans but have 3 who are Michigan fans.
Omg yes, I was in the student section at that game and was literally shaking from just how much ENERGY there was. Every sense was on complete overload. One of my most surreal experiences.
Just so you get a sense of how wildly popular college football is in the USA: the stadium shown seats somewhere between 100,000 and 110,000 and according to my friend from Pennsylvania, it's still very hard to get tickets to Penn State games.
When Penn State has a home game, Beaver Stadium (where the game is played) is the 3rd largest location / city in Pennsylvania (After Philadelphia and Pittsburgh).
Not sure if anyone has said this but to explain the first play, due to Penn State’s maximum capacity and very loud crowd, the whistle was blown because of what’s called a “false start” when someone moved over the line before the ball was in play. This was because of the crowd being so loud that the players couldn’t hike the ball because they simply couldn’t hear each other from two feet away
Coming from someone who was there, you could not hear yourself scream. The most magical and just full of life place ever. Genuinely my favorite place on Earth.
As an OSU fan who gets this white out game every other season this atmosphere is electric. Gives the home team a 10-14 point advantage. You should also listen to some of the 7 nation army chants from there as well.
As an Auburn alum... Penn State is one game I would highly recommend going to, especially a white out game. It will be an experience you've never had. The second experience is to go to an Iron Bowl (Auburn vs Alabama), especially when both teams are doing well. One of the best Iron Bowls was the 2013 Iron Bowl, especially the last 1 second of the game. That night we actually shook the Richter Scale by .01 that night, registered a slight earthquake with how loud it was. WDE!
I live only 30 minutes from Penn State and will be attending this weekend's white out game against Auburn! Everyone need to experience a PSU white out game at least once even if you're not a fan. It is INSANE. Videos don't even do the noise level justice.
Going to a Penn State game is an incredible experience! I live in Charlotte, NC and the drive is about 8 1/2 hrs. I haven't been to a game in 2 yrs and I miss it😩 It's so much fun!
My Dad was in the Penn State Blue Band and for a little while when I was young, we would go back for Homecoming games. When my sister was a freshman at PSU, she sneaked me into the student section for a Homecoming game. My niece is a freshman at PSU now and attended yesterday's White Out Game. I wish I could've been there with her!
Football has started up, college and NFL. I'm glad there's going to be bigger crowds. It really affected the games last year. Most of the players need that energy to perform at their best.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned college “fight songs”. My freshman year sitting in the student section for the first football game, a senior behind us said: “I expect you all to learn the fight song-both verses-by the next game. I’ll be testing you.” He was NOT joking! You can hear the band and crowd with the fight song at the beginning of the game and with each score. My daughter is a freshman this year at my alma mater. I tested her on the fight song-both verses-before the first game last week. 😁
It shows it at the end of the clip but I don’t know if you noticed- Michigan got the ball first, but they had to call a timeout before the first play of the game because the stadium was so loud. Considering they only get 3 per half and have a whole week to prepare for the start of the game, the fact that they had to do that anyways shows why everyone is so hyped and showed just how crazy the stadium was. If you want a prime example of home field advantage in football this is it
1. they are saying PSU. 2. normal capacity is 107,000 but for white outs it reaches 110,000 3. this is only the start and it needs to be experienced. watch the white out live on Sept 18th
So happy and proud to have been a part of the student section during this game my freshman year. It’s an earth shattering experience with incredible energy and noise! A must see if you are ever in this area! I was also fortunate enough to experience this PSU v. Auburn whiteout this year. Nothing short of amazing! Another neat aspect of Penn State home games is the reciting of the school’s alma mater. Before games all the fans typically ~100,000 of us link arms and sway while singing our PSU alma mater. Gives me chills every time!
Kabir. In 🏴 you are use to a Red Cross with a White field. PSU. What you are not seeing. Is the Blue cross. Just a T-shirt down to your knees. With a large blue cross on the front. Painted white face. With blue crosses on the cheekbones. “We Are” “Penn State”
I’m a Miami fan, but, PSU alum. Been to a few games in the student section, the white out is definitely crazy and is off the charts. I always got teased when I wore my Miami gear, but, it was all in good fun. I’m from Florida, hence who I’m a Miami fan 😁.
Hell yes!! These games are EPIC!! About 2 hours away. Nothing like being there LIVE and LOUD! "WE ARE!!" "PENN STATE!!" PS: If you're coming during the Spring, the New York Yankees AAA team call Scranton home. Told ya we have everything 😆Peace man. ✌
I’ve been to a few of the PSU whiteouts, there is absolutely nothing louder, more thrilling and more energetic than Beaver Stadium on whiteout night. When you’re in the seats jumping up and down, it almost feels like an earthquake under your feet- you cannot rival that. Truly one of the best experiences a college football fan can have
P-S-U, Pennsylvania State University, aka Penn State. There’s also a University of Pennsylvania, aka Penn. They suck at football, lol, but both are very good schools academically, tough to get in to.
My at the time girlfriend attended Penn State.. The few times I've been able to go to games has always been a crazy experience!! An insane time always!
At this particular game there were 110,000 there. Every year for the biggest home game of the year penn state throws a white out game. I’m going for the first time this weekend I’m so pumped!
MLS & MLB are in the spring, Atlanta, NYC, LA, Seatle & Portland have biggest crowds in MLS, NYC, Boston, Baltiimore, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, LA & San Franisco best stadium crowds in the MLB. In Canada, Toronto for MLB & Vancouver for MLS.
This is first time I think a team has made the opponent call a timeout without any time coming off the clock cause of how loud it was. The student section (section with the S) is THE loudest part ALONE
Of course out of anything in this video the one thing that catches my eye is at 2:40 when the scoreboard pops-up you can see that the logos werent loaded yet and it just says "Team 1 LOGO" and "Team 2 LOGO" lmfao.
Glad to see that you did a White Out video, but there's a better one: "Pre-Game Running Out of The Tunnel Versus Michigan"...this will give you a chill!😊👍😊
I go to PSU and was at that game. That game there was 129,000 people or something like that it’s a crazy cool environment and one of the hardest places to win against us. As you saw in the vid (idk how much American football you know) Michigan had a false start which means basically the team couldn’t hear them selves and didn’t know when to start. We are known for doing this and will have a counter for big games. It is a crazy cool atmosphere not to mention the tailgating before the game
I am currently a Penn State student and am watching this video at 3:15 AM because I cannot sleep due to the excitement. This year's whiteout is tonight at 7:30 EST and without one last year, this year's will be even better. About 500 students including myself have been camping outside of the stadium in tents since Monday in preparation for this game. If you make it to one college football game in your life, I highly recommend The WHITEOUT as being that game. I've been a big fan since earlier this year and have been waiting for some sort of PSU content. This did not disappoint. Keep up the great work and you'll have to look out for some highlights or videos from tonight's game to react to.
The stadium holds like 115,000. The town itself is 35,000 people plus 35,000 students. On game day, 115,000 people come to fill the stadium, and another 100,000 will hang out outside the stadium or in condomeniums that they own just as party pads and sports bars. The population of the town on game days is over 250,000 people. It takes 8 hours for the traffic to leave the town.
I’m a current Penn State Student and our stadium holds roughly 107,000 people and that game over sold on tix and the exact attendance was 110,669 people. Also in the begging the chant is PSU for Penn State University.
i was at that game lol, my profile pic is from that game actually. It was so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. Being in the student section was a crazy experience. We had our white out game against auburn in September. It was unbelievably loud with 110,000 fans at beaver stadium! LETS GO STATE!
The initials for penn state is PSU witch is what they are chanting. There is 111,000 people at that game I believe and it was a surreal experience to be there in person.
In the first play, Michigan couldn’t snap the ball because there was so much noise. That’s why they took a time out and the PSU defenders were celebrating
I graduated from there, PSU stands for Penn State University. We usually use initials for colleges and universities all throughout America. The local area almost exclusively uses initials to refer to the school. I was at that White Out game too.
Such a great video to react to! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it. Gives me chills each time I watch, the atmosphere at PSU is unmatched, at every game. I would recommend checking out other entrances for college football, they are all so cool to watch. (Enter Sandman - Virginia Tech, and Sandstorm - South Carolina) are great as well.
The White Out is this weekend up at Penn State! My husband has been up there at State College and he loves the whole vibe! Can't wait and We Are * Penn State!!
Pennsylvania State University PSU Whiteout game this weekend definitely recommend took a friend of mine one time from Australia to a white out game ten years ago against Alabama and he was blown away at the greatest show in college football!capacity is 106k and some change but for the whiteout they could have 110k this weekend! Second biggest stadium only behind the Big House in Michigan which capacity is 107k and some change. We Are.... Penn State! 😁🦁👏💪🏈
Hey Kabir yesterday was a crazy day here in Utah. 2 rival schools were playing (BYU and University of Utah). They are both predominantly Mormon schools and for the first time since 2009, BYU beat the Utes. Crazy day!
I think you'd enjoy watching "Every Kirill Kaprizov Goal From The 2020-2021 NHL Season" He was the rookie of the year last season and is one of the best young goal scorers in the NHL currently.
So I found this video. I’m a Penn State fan. As others said nothing compares to this. They are right. You said about the noise. This doesn’t do it justice trust me. It’s super loud. In 2016 watch the video Penn State blocks Ohio state field goal 2016. We got loud. To end game sacked QB 4 times. The coach for Ohio State said nothing compares to a White Out and he’s coached for Florida against LSU. It got so loud he thought stadium was gonna collapse. It’s something else and something that is to be experienced at least once in person
I was at that game and the video does no justice to how amazing the atmosphere is. The stadium had over 109,000 in it and there are another 30,000 tailgaters who do not have tickets to the game who watch on TVs in the parking area and then there are people who come to state college and watch the game from the local bars. The population of the town more than quadruples on game days.
It was awesome to see your reaction! I’m in the Penn State Marching Band, and being in the middle of all that noise is something you just can’t describe. Hope you get a chance to go to one of our games sometime!
current penn state student - the whiteout has been a childhood dream of mine, and I finally got to go this year. and its so loud that the echoes make it sound like we're off beat
2:18 P..S..U. Penn State Univ. Crowd noise can be so intense it makes if hard for the other team to hear. Even inside the huddle. And you don't need 100,000+ like in this stadium. 70,000 people can be very noisy. 8:28 College football does start in September.
They’re playing this weekend one of the biggest games, Saturday at 7:30 U.S Eastern time if you wanna watch it, gonna be the same atmosphere they’re playing against the Auburn tigers.
Loved penn state football since I’ve been a child. Had family and friends play there. Been to 50+ games. I live an hour from the stadium and hotels rooms are never available during football season.
That game had 110,000 fans in attendance. Michigan couldn’t get the first play off because the fans were so loud the center couldn’t hear the quarterback.
In case you weren't aware - that first play (or non-play) was a demonstration of how a home team will use crowd noise during the game. The crowd is so loud, that the quarterback is having trouble being heard by his own teammates - since he has a finite time period to start the play, he has just been penalized 5 yards for "delay of game". The players waving their arms are signaling "LOUDER" to the crowd. The crowd roar in some stadiums can exceed 100db on the field.
Officially it is called The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) but it is basically always just called Penn State. And for football it has one of the best atmospheres anywhere.
The crowd noise can literally effect the game in American FB. When the home team is on defense the crowd will get extra loud to try and effect verbal communication between the opponents offense. (alerts, adjustments, protections, being called before the play by the QB) . At 7:43 this is what happened
@@kabirconsiders absolutely 💯. Some universities are what we refer to as "wine & cheese crowds" and others are notorious for their loudness. Its not always about the capacity. My team only has a 51k capacity stadiums but we have a reputation of sounding like a 85k
@@kabirconsiders it should be noted that speakers are not allowed to broadcast as the play is beginning. That would be definitely unsportsmanship, but the unamplified human voice is obviously allowed...TEAM SPIRIT.
Actually what happened was the stadium playing music through the P.A. until only 7 seconds left on the play clock. You can tell Michigan wasn't even doing anything in terms of normal pre-play reads/call-outs. You can tell as soon as the music stops, the O-line actually got set and the QB started his reads and cadence with the clap. They waited for the music to stop, which is usually done as the team lines up (or until they are back from a media timeout where the players may be lined up well before the refs give the go-ahead to run the clock). Refs should have reset the play clock tbh. Michigan clearly didn't think it was running due to the P.A. still going and it's not allowed to play that deep into it to begin with. Maybe they should have been aware you can argue but the delay of game wasn't due to crowd noise in that moment. QB lifts his leg for the pre-snap cadence well after it was at 0 and right before the whistles. They had no urgency believing they had around 25 seconds after the music stopped as usual.
Fun fact, Penn State's stadium can fit 106,500 people. And white out nights are some of the biggest nights for college football games and almost guarantee a sold out game, so that's the sound of over 100,000 people!
The crowd was chanting PSU, not BSU, lol. PSU = Pennsylvania State University, commonly known as Penn State. Nickname = Nittany Lions...Nittany refers to nearby Mount Nittany, which overlooks the university, and Lions refers to the Eastern Mountain Lion, which was common in the area prior to the 1880's.. Penn State is a member of the Big Ten Conference, which is the oldest college sports conference, having been founded in 1895. "Big Ten" refers to the membership of the conference 1950 to 1990. Penn State joined in 1990, bringing the number of schools to 11. Nebraska joined in 2011, Rutgers & Maryland joined in 2014, bringing membership to 14, although the conference retained the name Big Ten Conference. Penn State's Beaver Stadium capacity is 106,576, 2d highest in league.
