Today’s Fact of the Day is a great fact from  Pennsylvania:

Q: Why is Beaver Stadium so-called?

A: Beaver Stadium is named for James A. Beaver, a former governor of Pennsylvania (1887–91) and president of the university’s board of trustees.

More details:

Beaver Stadium has a capacity of 107,282, making it the second-largest stadium in the United States and the third largest stadium in the world.  Beaver Stadium’s record crowd of 110,753 witnessed Penn State’s 40–7 victory over Nebraska on September 14, 2002.  In 2002, Penn State also set an NCAA record for largest season attendance, with 1,257,707 watching Penn State games over the course of the season.[5]

It is boasted by the Penn State community that during home games at State College the stadium is the 3rd largest city by “population” in the state. It follows Philadelphia (1,517,550) and Pittsburgh (334,563) and precedes Allentown (106,632).
