Penn State Athletics announced on April 24 that the Blue-White Practice, presented by Sheetz, will begin at 12:15 p.m. on April 25, moving up from its original time due to expected weather conditions. The football team’s autograph session is now scheduled to take place after the practice.
The event marks the beginning of a new era for Penn State Football and is significant for fans who have long awaited this annual tradition. The change in schedule aims to ensure safety and maximize participation despite weather uncertainties.
Parking lots will open at 8 a.m., with select entrances available from 9 a.m., and public gates opening at 11 a.m. Fan seating will be limited to the north, south, and east lower bowl areas of Beaver Stadium; west side seating and upper sections will remain closed. In addition to football activities, the Beaver Stadium Block Party on Curtin Road will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering live music, food trucks, face painting, caricature artists, photo booths, and official merchandise from various partners.
A free post-practice autograph session with football players is available for all fans on the stadium concourse at field level. Attendees may bring one item for signing as long as it fits within Penn State’s clear bag policy requirements (12” x 6” x 12” or smaller). There are also separate autograph sessions with members of Penn State’s Women’s Hockey and Wrestling programs between 12:10–12:40 p.m.
The Blue-White Apparel and Equipment Sale takes place at Pegula Ice Arena from 9 a.m.–1 p.m., featuring team-issued gear while supplies last. Fans are advised of road closures in the area due to ongoing construction projects; real-time updates can be found via local traffic resources or social media accounts associated with Beaver Stadium.
Parking passes were distributed as part of season packages for existing holders; day-of parking costs $20 in general lots or $30 in preferred lots. ADA shuttles are limited but available starting at 11 a.m.; no general fan assistance shuttles will operate during this event.
