‘We're here rain, shine, hot, cold’ | Park Avenue Army serves as 12th man for Penn State soccer

At every Penn State soccer home match, one aspect is certain: Park Avenue Army’s chants, costumes and traditions.

Its goal of being the loudest and best student section in all of college soccer is evident at Jeffrey Field, creating a raucous environment that explodes at the sight of a Penn State goal.
