Football is an unmistakable part of the culture of Penn State,
though the experience of a Nittany Lions home game—from the
crowds and tailgates to the spectacle of the game itself—has
changed significantly over the years. This richly illustrated and
researched book tells the story of the structure that has evolved
along with the university’s celebrated football program: the
iconic Beaver Stadium. Historian Lee Stout and engineering
professor Harry H. West show how Beaver Stadium came to be,
including a look at its predecessors, “Old” Beaver Field, built
in 1893 on a site centrally located northeast of Old Main, and
“New” Beaver Field, built on the northwest corner of campus in
1909. Stout and West explore the engineering and construction
challenges of the stadium and athletic fields and reveal the
importance of these facilities to the history of Penn State and its
cherished traditions. Packed with archival photos and fascinating
stories, Lair of the Lion is a celebration of the ways in which
Penn State fans, students, and athletes have experienced home games
from the 1880s to the present day, and of the monumental structure
that the Lions now call home.
