PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF APRIL, 2012, THREE OF THE SIGNS ARE UNAVAILABLE. THE KEY WORDS ON THESE MISSING SIGNS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BELOW. Beaver Stadium - the House that Joe built has undergone many transformations especially during the last 43 years while Joe Paterno has been head coach of the Nittany Lions. It has grown to a capacity of over 107,000 and this year is the largest college stadium in the country (Michigan's Big House has reduced capacity while being renovated). ESPN selected Beaver Stadium the Greatest Show in College Football because of many traditions and the raucous student section that inhabits the stadium on football Saturdays.
In honor of the designation as College Football's Greatest Show, the University has erected a series of eight signs highlighting the traditions that make Beaver Stadium so special. The coordinates listed above will get you to one of these signs. You'll have to find the rest on your own and then insert the titles below to solve the puzzle for the coordinates to the actual cache.
The cache is small and does not lend itself to trading items although a small travel bug will fit with the log book. Beware of Muggles! Especially if you choose to find this one on a football Saturday. Good luck and God Speed!!!
