But Penn State looks to expand Beaver Stadium's capacity, not just temporarily for this season but also likely for the long term. With a traditional seating capacity of 106,572, Beaver Stadium long has trailed Michigan Stadium (107,601) as the nation's biggest. But after this season, Penn State is scheduled to demolish the lower bowl and replace it with premium chairback seating. "Our volume, in general, makes Penn State who Penn State is. We're in a really good spot, a really, really good spot."
