UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State will hold a town hall meeting tonight in Rec Hall where athletic director Sandy Barbour will seek feedback from the community about Penn State’s facilities master plan, one that’s being created for all the Lions’ athletic facilities by the Kansas City-based architecture firm Populous.
The plan includes Beaver Stadium, a venue Barbour said recently she would prefer to renovate as opposed to replace. Coach James Franklin said his focus is on Northwestern, the Lions’ opponent this week, but added that in the offseason decisions will need to be made about the specifics of the stadium and whether its amenity upgrades or more comfortable seating will all be part of Populous’ findings.
