2012 Penn State Blue-White Game Weekend
Spring Game, Fireworks, Carnival, Live Music, Autograph Session Among Numerous Activities Celebrating Penn State Football
The dates for one of the highlights of the Penn State sports calendar, Blue-White Weekend presented by AAA, have been set for 2012.
Blue-White Weekend will be held April 20-22, 2012, with the Blue-White football game on April 21 as the centerpiece for numerous activities throughout the weekend in and around Beaver Stadium.
Numerous events are held during Blue-White Weekend, including a carnival, fireworks, food vendors, the student entertainment stage and live music, and the Penn State Idol finals. On gameday, the popular autograph session with the football student-athletes is held prior to kickoff of the Blue-White Game in Beaver Stadium.
Blue-White Weekend has become the university’s unofficial annual reunion and attracted record-breaking spring football crowds in excess of 70,000 from 2007-09, topped by 76,500 at the 2009 contest. The past three Blue-White Games have seen rain and cool weather stop the run of record-setting audiences.
Season tickets are available for the 2012 season.

Comments
The Beaver Family has our full support, and this is the direct quote email response from Scott Paterno when asked about our petition:"If penn staters want to rename the stadium after joe (or as I understand adding "Paterno Field at " to it) that is a tremendous honor. If it is important to penn staters we have no objection".
See you all at the Blue White Game, before the game and after. WE ARE PENN STATE.... HONOR AND DIGNITY FOR JOE PATERNO...... Thank you, Blake Tobias
Thanks
