Penn State Lady Lions at Bryce Jordan Center
The Lady Lions play in the Bryce Jordan Center, a 15,000-seat multipurpose arena in University Park, Pennsylvania. The stadium opened in 1995, bearing the name of the former university president who'd helped secure the funding to build it. The student section is known as the Legion of Blue, and the Pride of the Lions pep band keeps things lively. Each year, the Lady Lions host the “Pink Zone at Penn State” game in which players and fans wear pink in support of organizations fighting breast cancer.
An afternoon at the Bryce Jordan Center to watch Coquese Washington's Lady Lions was the perfect way to spend a cold, damp Sunday. The fact that the Lady Lions secured a win was a bonus. Where else can you see talented athletes and eat Penn State Creamery ice cream at the same time?
We live in Easton (Lafayette is in Easton), but drove 3 hours to see Penn State play. My daughter is a huge Lady Lions fan. She met the players this summer at Penn State basketball camp and really wanted to see them play live. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the game. We would def. do it again.
The Lady Lions put on a spectacular show by staying with the Hawkeyes the whole game then surging near the end, taking complete control and the win.
We had a very enjoyable time. Every was very friendly including the ticket takers, ushers and staff working the food stands. We will certainly do it again as soons as we can.
My 10-year-old son went to see the Lady Lions in their home opener against Washington State. The quality of play was amazing and the score remained tight until the end when our team pulled away. I think my son now has a crush on Maggie Lucas!
The NCAA tournament was very exciting, even though we only stayed for the first half. The ticket price was a little steep compared with the regular season (only negative)
efficient process event was awesome! Thanks will use again
The Lady Lions are amazing. I was impressed by Coach Washington's use of the rest of her players. They all contributed. Maggie Lukas is awesome and Nikki Green did a great job covering Lavender.The Lady Lions were poised throughout the game.
