The fandom surrounding Penn State wrestling is well known throughout the college wrestling world as the Nittany Lions have sold out the roughly 6,700 seat Rec Hall for 40 straight dual meets.
Selling out a 6,700 seat venue is different from trying to sell out a 16,000 seat venue in the Bryce Jordan Center, where the Nittany Lions took on Iowa on Saturday night, but as It turns out the Nittany Lions had no problem selling out the roughly 16,000 seat BJC.
15,998 people attended Penn State's dual against the Hawkeyes, which is the largest crowd to ever watch an indoor dual meet in college wrestling history and is the largest crowd to witness a Penn State sporting event outside of Beaver Stadium.
