The days of sitting on a cold, sometimes wet and muddy, sometimes snowy and iced-over hill to watch lacrosse in Happy Valley now are over.
On Friday, Penn State lacrosse christened brand new Panzer Stadium with an alumni game before the official dedication on Sunday morning. Where there was a hill, there are now seats and a glistening new facility that is among the nicer lacrosse-specific stadiums in the country.
Not many lacrosse teams have their own facilities. Most share them with a football or soccer team. In the Big Ten, Michigan and Penn State are the only two teams with their own facility.
