Beaver Stadium Construction Update: Penn State Finishing 2025 Temporary Seats

Temporary seating at Beaver Stadium for 2 seasons

In the meantime, Beaver Stadium will feature temporary seating for the next two Penn State football seasons. InProduction, which bills itself as the nation's "largest provider" of temporary seating structures, has spent the summer constructing the giant bleachers atop the West Tower's base.

Mike Poorman of Statecollege.com captured the latest look at the bleachers during the Penn State football team's photo day Aug. 16 at Beaver Stadium.

InProduction builds temporary seating facilities for sporting events from golf tournaments to F1 races to soccer matches. It constructed seating for Northwestern's temporary football stadium and has built temporary bleachers at other venues undergoing renovations, including Florida State's Doak Campbell Stadium.

Audrey Snyder, who writes at the Inside the Lions substack, also shows the progress of the East deck temporary bleachers that Penn State has installed for the season. They are located on concourses on the northeast and southeast corners of Beaver Stadium. Nittany Lions coach James Franklin called these seats welcome additions to the Beaver Stadium experience.

"Why didn't we do that in the past?" Franklin recently told reporters in State College. "That was wasted space forever."

New signage at Beaver Stadium

Penn State also is adding new signage to reflect the stadium's updated name. Penn State officially will refer to it as West Shore Home Field at Beaver Stadium, after the Pennsylvania home-remodeling company made a $50 million gift for the field-naming rights.

West Shore Home's $50 million commitment was the second-largest private donation in Penn State history, behind Terry Pegula's $102 million gift for the campus ice arena and varsity hockey programs. The term of the gift is 15 years.

Penn State also unveiled its 2025 football schedule poster, which serves an homage to Beaver Stadium.
