No. 1 Penn State has hosted at least one dual at the Bryce Jordan Center since 2013, excluding the 2020-21 COVID season. It’s usually the squad’s biggest match of the season and has the highest attendance.
The Nittany Lions refer to Rec Hall as their main home, but the BJC has quickly emerged as a second home against the biggest opponents.
The first-ever Bryce Jordan Center dual was in 1996 against No. 1 Iowa, where Penn State won 22-15. Since then, the Nittany Lions have hosted multiple duals at the BJC — a bigger venue that’s attracted more eyes to the top-ranked Nittany Lions.
